What the world needs now is gasms sweet gasms. But since Smokey Robinson already handled that on his last album, this time around he's dealing in "hope, love, and unity." The legendary soul singer is following up 2023's Gasms with an inspirational covers album called What The World Needs Now.
Arriving in April, the album features Robinson's new recordings of artists including Bob Marley, the Staple Singers, Carole King, and more, as well as a re-recording of his own "Be Kind To The Growing Mind" with the Temptations. Today he's sharing covers of two classics, William DeVaughn's "Be Thankful For What You've Got" and Bill Withers' "Lean On Me." Find them below along with a trailer for the album.
