In a video that feels like a warm hug for ‘90s R&B lovers, Jamal Roberts drops a buttery-smooth cover of a Jodeci classic, originally penned by the legendary Bobby Womack. Filmed in a relaxed vibe, Jamal’s delivery is chill, heartfelt, and full of that rich soul tone that’s become his signature. The caption says it all: “Who all know real music?” and judging by the reactions, the answer is: a lot of people.
Jamal keeps it stripped down, letting his voice do the heavy lifting. No flashy set or production—just pure vocals and smooth control as he honors a timeless R&B favorite. It’s the kind of performance that doesn’t just sound good—it feels good. You can tell he’s not just singing it… he’s living it.

The video racked up over 2,000 likes and sparked a wave of nostalgic comments. Viewers praised Jamal’s tone, control and his love for real music. Many called the video “a vibe,” while others simply wrote, “THIS is what music used to sound like.”
This isn’t the first time Jamal’s proven his R&B roots. Before winning American Idol, he regularly posted soulful renditions of old-school classics—each one reminding fans of the golden days of music. But his original songs, like “Heal,” show he’s just as powerful when writing his own story.
