You Gotta BeDes’ree

Des’ree – You Gotta Be (Official Video)
You Gotta BeDes'ree

This piece, depicting a man taking on a weightlifting challenge, is the commercial for the MacBook Pro equipped with the M4 chip, titled “The Most Powerful Pro Ever.” After raising the barbell overhead, he starts spinning it like Sun Wukong from Journey to the West and proceeds to perform acrobatics.

It’s a scene that wouldn’t normally be possible, but it serves to emphasize how powerful the machine’s processing has become.

The background music is the fresh, uplifting “You Gotta Be,” one of British soul singer Des’ree’s signature songs and a hit from 1994.

You’re Looking At MeDiana Krall

Here is a tribute album to Nat King Cole released in 1996.

Diana Krall, who solidified her status as a singer-pianist, delivers relaxed renditions of songs well known from Nat King Cole’s vocals.

It’s an album you’ll want to listen to during a laid-back, leisurely moment.

You’re My EverythingDiana Ross & Marvin Gaye

A male-female duet that led Black funky music from the ’70s to the ’80s.

The refrain goes, “You are my everything.” How happy it would be if both could truly feel that way.

A couple who has spent plenty of joyful times together and overcome many sorrows would be able to sing this song to each other.

Disclosure is a dance music duo from England.

The duo consists of brothers, and their perfectly synchronized DJ performances are striking.

Among their works, the track with an especially memorable low end is You & Me (Flume Remix).

Unlike typical EDM, this song strongly reflects jazz and big band influences.

As a result, it doesn’t have a smooth, catchy groove, but it offers a richly weighty atmosphere.

You & MusicDonald Byrd

Donald Byrd – You & Music (1975)

Trumpeter Donald Byrd gained popularity for his musical style rooted in jazz and funk, infused with elements of soul and R&B.

His songs are stylish yet catchy, and he’s extremely popular in Japan as well.

The album I’d recommend as one of his masterpieces is Places and Spaces.

Released on Blue Note in 1975, it’s a work that evokes sophisticated, smooth neo-funk, featuring expansive string arrangements and sensual rhythm guitar.
