The track was produced by John Brokaw and engineered by Craig White and Jeff Evans. The arrangement opens with a saxophone playing the iconic melody in a smooth, jazzy style,\u00a0creating an easy-listening aura. Soon after, a female voice comes with a warm and expressive style, adding to the track&#8217;s calm atmosphere. The addition of horns enhances the sound, bringing warmth and dimension\u00a0to the composition. As the song progresses, a second female vocal comes in, resulting in a duet with slight soul and R&amp;B influences. This vocal interaction allows the song to move smoothly between jazz, soul, and pop\u00a0while maintaining the original composition&#8217;s romantic\u00a0basis. This performance gives the song a fresh jazzy sound and invites listeners to dream about how it would have sounded if George Michael explored the music from a modern jazz standpoint. Whether compared to the original or performed on its own, this version is a smooth and stylish cover\u00a0of a timeless classic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Zircon Skyeband \u2013 Careless Whisper (Official Video)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FkfmM0vOQ3c?start=1&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ZirconSkyeBand\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ZirconSkyeBand<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This cover of George Michael&#8217;s &#8220;Careless Whisper&#8221; offers a contemporary, jazz-influenced take on the classic&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":27223,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[16,5],"tags":[465,117,289,4344],"class_list":["post-29884","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-jazz-blues-reviews","category-reviews","tag-jazz","tag-rb","tag-soul","tag-zircon-skyeband"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29884","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29884"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29884\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":29886,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29884\/revisions\/29886"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27223"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29884"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29884"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29884"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
