“a stunning master of top-down soul”The FACE“His voice is out front, running raw and headlong into the unsteady (but rewarding) waters of vulnerability”The New Yorker “warm, dripping globs of time-softened imagery that you’ll want to submerge yourself in”The FADER“another impressive evolution of his endlessly creative, genre-blending music”Pigeons & Planes
LA-based artist Dijon shares a new cover of Chaka Khan’s 1975 hit ‘sweet thing’. Accompanied by a wistful self-recorded visual, Dijon’s reimagining of the classic song is now available across all major streaming services and captures the soothing essence of the original.
Speaking on Chaka Khan and his choice of covering ‘sweet thing’, Dijon says: “The song was made during lockdown and is joyful and reminds me of being a kid. Just a nod to the music that shaped my sensibilities; regardless of however my musical output presents itself, it’s always rooted here.”

The release of his ‘sweet thing’ cover comes on the heels of his critically-acclaimed EP, How Do You Feel About Getting Married? As Well as the recently-released videos for ‘dance song’ and ‘Jesse’, which continue to build on the striking visual world Dijon established with the Jack Karazewski-directed visuals for ‘do you light up?’ and ‘rock n roll’. He also revealed his collaboration with Charli XCX entitled ‘pink diamonds’ from her new album How I Feel Now last month. How Do You Feel About Getting Married? builds from the Americana-tinged, R&B palate Dijon introduced on his debut EP Sci Fi 1, and NPR declared the project “a new peak in cerebral, soul-slicing honesty.”Listen to Dijon’s cover of Chaka Khan’s ‘sweet thing’ and stream How Do You Feel About Getting Married? above, see below for more info and stay tuned for more from Dijon coming soon.
