Jodeci - "Lately" (Full Studio Version)

Yes, this is the Extended Version of the studio version. Love this song to death. Jodeci and Intro are the only male R&B groups of the 90s that perfected a Stevie Wonder rendition. Intro did it with Ribbon in The Sky (RIP Kenny Greene). Hated the fact that Uptown/MCA never made this studio version or the radio edit studio version commercially available. Fans were forced to buy the MTV Uptown Unplugged Live Version. Which is ok. But most of us already had that album and video. We wanted the studio version that was played on radio and seen in black and white video. This song shouldve been released on US versions of Diary of a Mad Band as a bonus song or something. It was released on import copies. SMMFH

Lol! Couldn't help but snicker when it got to the "Lately I've had the strangest feeling" part! That dag in Martin!🤭

DeVante is an absolute genius. It is indeed one of the most difficult things to record a cover version that is better than the original version by one of Stevie Wonder's greatest songs who is actually a true legend.

I had that magazine! My wall was covered with Jodeci posters as a teenager 🥰🥰

Man haven't heard this version since I was in Jr. High back in the mid 90's thanks for posting

Devante is gorgeous on this magazine cover

I Love this version, I can sing it all the way thru

Jodeci performed this version on The Arsenio Hall Show, with Stevie Wonder making a guest appearance and performing the song with Jodeci. They also performed this version on an episode of season 2 of Martin "Hollywood Swinging (Part 2)".

"TALENTED!"

Them trademark DeVante Swing synthesizers near the end tho!!!!

I love DeVante's production on this one.

I just watched the Martin episode with Jodeci and had to come find the studio recording of Lately. I haven’t heard this version since I was a kid. I wish they had this version available on streaming platforms.

This song is for Michael K. Williams, the actor from HBO's "The Wire" TV series, who passed away at the age of 54 on September 6th, 2021, during the Labor Day weekend. R. I. P., Michael K. Williams. 😥

Why do Devante look so beautiful like what the????😭💖

Haven't heard this version in forever!!! Man...

All I got to say 🔥 🔥 🔥

Great job on the Stevie Wonder remake and the synthesizers at the end are so much better cooler by Devante. Great job Jodeci!!!!!!!

listen to this daily

This was such a beautiful, and rich arrangement. Definitely one of their best songs. Devante did the DANG THANG on this one.

Nice Synths by Devante in the production.
