Cry to Me - Kilotile & Solomon Burke - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Sometimes it takes moving a song to a whole new genre in order to breathe some new life into it. “Cry To Me” is an influential soul single from the Atlantic label, originally written by Bert Berns and first recorded by American soul singer Solomon Burke in 1962. An ode to loneliness that would go on to be highly influential in the worlds of R&B and gospel, “Cry to Me” was a tremendous success for Solomon Burke, becoming a standard in the genre and being covered by artists such as the Rolling Stones and Freddie Scott. In 2015, Canadian DJ and producer Kilotile crafted his own take on the song, bringing the original Solomon Burke recording to the world of electronic dance music. Sampling the original track’s vocals as well as its instrumental hook and setting it against a driving four-on-the-floor beat and a rumbling bassline, Kilotile’s version of “Cry to Me” brought an entirely different flavor to the song. In 2021, the Kilotile remix of “Cry to Me” became a viral trend on the social media platform TikTok, boosting the track’s popularity even further.
