R&B legend Keith Sweat has made a global response to the music arena with his seductive new single, “Working Remix,” featuring the talented Nigerian singer Qing Madi. This collaboration bridges the gap between classic R&B and the contemporary Afrobeats sound that Qing Madi represents.
“Working” has garnered attention for cleverly sampling Sweat’s 1996 iconic slow jam, “Nobody,” featuring Athena Cage.
The sample provides a nostalgic foundation that is updated with a modern, fresh twist, appealing to both long-time fans of Keith Sweat and the younger demographic familiar with Qing Madi.
A newer version, “Working II,” featuring Lil Wayne, was also released, expanding the track’s reach and appeal even further.
Released in September 2025, “Working” is a heartfelt exploration of persistence and the emotional labor involved in maintaining a relationship and proving one’s devotion.
Finally, this collaboration bridges a generational gap, blending the iconic sound of 90s R&B with a fresh, contemporary Afropop sensibility.
