Those harmonies are gorgeous! Particularly nice to hear the lead voice of Amanda Taylor, recognized her from Groove For Thought, the jazz acapella group featured on The Sing-Off (Season 2)

What a beguiling vocal arrangement, and kudos to the band (beautiful soprano sax solo)! Yes, "I Can't Help It" was written by Stevie, but you gotta call out that this fantastic song is on Michael Jackson's Off The Wall album. Love this jazzified cover -- well done, Säje!

Hot Damn, what the hell was that! Amazing! It's like Stevie WOnder and Chick Corea had a musical love child. Super complicated but every note is spot on. I hope this finds an audience who can appreciate sophisticated, complicated, very busy, music like this - because it deserves a wide audience. Well done.

“I can’t help” was one of those songs buried in a mountain of Michael’s work which was buried in a mountain of Stevie’s work and with that said, I say thank you for that rendition.

It's been strinking me every time from the beginning: when it comes to polyphonic singing, säje's "trademark" is definitely one of a kind and recognizable among all of the vocal groups on the planet - not to mention your four exquisite voices. Not that uniqueness is always a guarantee for quality but in your case, it's just a big wow!
