It’s a single released in 2016 by the American pop rock group Maroon 5.

Let’s Get It OnMarvin Gaye

It’s said that the prototype of today’s R&B is the New Soul of the 1970s.

Marvin Gaye was one of the artists who supported that New Soul boom alongside Donny Hathaway, Stevie Wonder, and Curtis Mayfield, and he had a huge influence on today’s Black music.

One of Marvin Gaye’s masterpieces is “Let’s Get It On.” With a languid vibe woven into its intensity, it’s a perfect track for a leisurely day off.

It’s a deep cut with airy synths that resonate throughout.

Keep an ear out for her coquettish vocals as she sings candidly about love, and for her skillful rap as well—it’s a gorgeous number.
