The beautiful music continues from Nas’ Life Is Good album. His dearly departed friend Amy Winehouse is resurrected for their second standout collaboration. While Nas’ lyrics took center stage on “Like Smoke,” here it’s Winehouse’s robust vocals that carry the track. Some have compared the feel of this to the Nas and Chrisette Michele’s “Can’t Forget About You.” “Cherry Wine” definitely has the same upbeat optimism, but without some of the overt sentimentalism of that Hip Hop Is Dead track.
Life Is Good drops July 17. I think Nas has given us enough heat over the last year to have earned a purchase.
