It sees them take on Sade classic &#8216;Smooth Operator&#8217;, re-imagining it as a baggy, languid, beach-ready fusion of reggae-soul sassiness and sax-laden smooth jazz. Sutherland is on fine form on the A-side vocal version, brilliantly delivering Sade&#8217;s lyrics over a head-nodding reggae rhythm, snaking saxophone lines, dreamy synth sounds and glistening jazz guitar solos. Fraser takes over on the flip and delivers an instrumental &#8216;Version&#8217; mix that adds a touch of weight to the groove whilst showcasing more of the original&#8217;s glistening guitar solos and 1980s wine bar sax.<\/p>\n<p>Label: Vortex Japan<br \/>\nFormat: clear vinyl 7&#8243; repress<br \/>\nCat: VR 04<br \/>\nReleased: 16 Feb 21<br \/>\nGenre: Soul<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.juno.co.uk\/products\/sutherland-nadine-dean-fraser-smooth-operator\/801333-01\/?ref=motionfm\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Buy 7&#8243;<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Side 1<br \/>\n1.\tNadine Sutherland &#8211; &#8220;Smooth Operator&#8221; (4:45)<br \/>\nSide 2<br \/>\n1.\tDean Fraser &#8211; &#8220;Smooth Operator&#8221; (version) (5:21)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;re looking for something to brighten up your life during these harrowing times, we&#8217;d heartily recommend this excellent &#8220;45&#8221; from &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":15879,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[16],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15877"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15877"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15877\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15884,"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15877\/revisions\/15884"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15879"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15877"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15877"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15877"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
