Not only is my friend Anthony Cubbage a swell guy; he’s an otherworldly musical talent — the type that can lend his voice and songwriting ability to just about any project and have it make a world of sense.

He also straight up knows how to write a banger.

Look no further than his song “Beautiful Night,” from Cubbage’s 2016 EP Here & Now, to back up that claim. There are so many influences at play here, including jazz, R&B, soul, hip hop, all tied together with a perfect pop bow. Cubbage’s buttery-smooth vocal adds a chill gloss coat to a fun and lively instrumental, sure to get you ready to get in a bit of non-illegal trouble on a summer weekend like this one.

Start your “Beautiful Night” early with this one. Stream it below!
