Gamuel Sori and Izzy Bizu are giving classic grooves a fresh twist with their new single, ‘Messing With My Heart’, out 23rd August on Dance Differently.

Sori’s production reimagines The Spinners’ original hit with modern rhythms and innovative soundscapes, infusing the track with vibrant energy while respecting its classic essence. Izzy Bizu’s captivating voice adds warmth and power, perfectly complementing Sori’s dynamic approach. Their collaboration bridges the gap between classic soul and contemporary trends, creating an exciting, 2024 version of a timeless favourite.

The original song was written by Stevie Wonder, Lee, Garrett and Syreeta Wright. The new production was handled by Gamuel Sori and Maury Pozzi.

“The creation of this track began during a period when I was listening to a lot of soul music. I stumbled upon The Spinners’ 1970s classic, ‘It’s A Shame’ and wondered how it would sound as a disco-house track. As a long-time fan of the incredible talented Izzy Bizu, I knew her soulful vocals would be perfect. She was thrilled to collaborate, and we quickly got to work recording. The result is a feel-good disco-house track that we are very proud of,” says Gamuel Sori.

“Working on this record with Gamuel Sori was an absolute honour. Disco has brought so much light into my life, and I hope it helps you dance away your blues just like it did for me!” Izzy Bizu says.
