The likelihood that you’ve fallen in love with Jesse Boykins III’s music will become that much greater with the young singer-songwriters cover of Andre 3000’s 2003 hit “Prototype.” Following a recent cover of Corrine Bailey Rae’s “Closer,” Boykins tests his charming vocals against the futuristic love song that moved Dre’s The Love Below album into classic status. With some help from MeLo-X and Trae Harris the rendition ripens into the soul and fills the air with a superb transitional song for the last days of summer. Speaking of summer, if you quietly listen to the soft flow, you can hear and feel the breeze of a famous Isley Brothers sample. What more could you ask for? If there’s still inquiries then get your answers when the rising star releases his upcoming album, Love Apparatus next year.
