Gospel singing legend Ann Nesby has joined forces with Tribe Records boss, Zepherin Saint for their 100th release, who along with 3G have delivered a stunning reinterpretation of one of dance music’s all time classics ‘Optimistic’. Originally recorded by Soulful greats The Sounds Of Blackness in 1991, Saint and 3G along with original SOB’s band member Ann have delivered a contemporary Soulful House smash, fresh for 2015’s dance floors and beyond.
 
“Optimistic is one of my all time faves. It helped me through a difficult time in my own life, as I am sure it has for many when it was originally released. It’s always been on my mind to make a house cover as I would sometimes play the original in my DJ sets to close the night, but I did not feel I was ready until now. The words and sentiment of the song create a lot of emotion on the dance floor, so when thinking of how we were going to commemorate Tribe’s 100th release, this just made perfect sense on many levels.” – Zepherin Saint
