J'Something teams up with electronic music producer !Sooks from Eswatini for a fresh take on the house classic Bring On The Night.
Released through Stay True Sounds on Friday, August 7, 2026, this version brings new energy and emotion to the beloved deep house anthem. J'Something's signature vocals paired with !Sooks' contemporary production have already caught the attention of Billboard Africa, DJ Fresh, Kaya FM, and YFM.
The track has deep roots. Originally penned by Sting, Bring On The Night became essential to South Africa's deep house scene thanks to Cloudkickers' version and Rocco Rodamaal's iconic TroDeep Remix. Nearly twenty years later, J'Something and !Sooks pay tribute to that legacy while bringing the song to today's audience.
!Sooks' instrumental version was already making waves with South Africa's top DJs long before an official release was even planned. It became a staple in sets across the country, which raised an obvious question: what if someone put vocals on this?
That someone turned out to be J'Something.
The multi-award-winning artist has spent over fifteen years defining contemporary African music with Mi Casa while building an impressive solo career. His voice effortlessly moves between soul, house, jazz, Afro-pop, and electronic music.
Instead of trying to copy the original, !Sooks and J'Something treated the song with care and respect. J'Something's emotive performance honors the spirit of the classic while giving it a modern edge. Combined with !Sooks' atmospheric production, the result works just as well at festivals as it does on late-night dancefloors.
