Beyoncé and Ronald Isley provide a new spin on the Isley Brothers’ classic “Make Me Say It Again Girl, Pts. 1 & 2″ set to appear on the Isley Brothers’ forthcoming full length due out later this year.
Composed by Ernie Isley, Marvin Isley, O’Kelly Isley, Ronald Isley, Rudolph Isley and Chris Jasper, the original version of of ‘Make Me …’ was featured on The Heat Is On LP that hit #1 on Billboard‘s Pop Albums and Black Albums charts in 1975.
On their new collaborative “Make Me Say It Again Girl” rendition, Queen Bey and Ronald exchanges lines about devotion. “Oh I believe you are a rainbow,” Beyoncé sings. “All the heaven I need to see,” Isley counters. The “Break My Soul” singer also provides dreamy backing vocals throughout the track, her voice adding a sultry whisper to complement Isley’s buttery smooth tenor. The song ends with a quintessentially Queen Bey a cappella outro as she harmonizes with herself over multiple layered vocal tracks.
“Make Me Say It Again Girl” follows the release of Beyoncé’s seventh studio album Renaissance last month and is her first non-Renaissance collaboration of the year. Last week, she shared a four-song remix collection of lead album single “Break My Soul,” and also dropped “The Queens Remix” version of the song, which interpolates Madonna’s “Vogue.”
The song marks the Isley Brothers’ first new music since they released “Friends and Family” featuring Snoop Dogg last year.
