Haven't You Heard - Patrice Rushen - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Shaped by the jazz keyboardist's typically groovy nature while looking to the bright lights of disco for its overriding sonic quality, "Haven't You Heard" is a neon-lit floor-filler from an R&B original. The Californian composer, record producer, multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and music director went to number on the R&B charts in her euphoric love search ("I've been lookin' for you / (Haven't you heard)?"), also charting on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart (at 42) and bagging her first international hit – seizing the 62 spot in the UK. The song was featured on Patrice Rushen's 1979 album Pizzazz, but was given a new lease of life decades later when it was sampled by artist Kirk Franklin on his "Looking For You" cut from the Norbit soundtrack. In 2021, Patrice Rushen was thrust under the spotlight again, not for "Haven't You Heard", but for her Grammy-nominated 1982 single "Forget Me Nots", which was used in a dance challenge on TikTok.
