The superstar guitarist and piano virtuoso deliver a new take on the Stevie Wonder classic
Guitar wunderkind Marcin and pianist-composer extraordinaire Hayato Sumino today release their new collaboration, a cover of Stevie Wonder’s 1976 Billboard No. 1 hit song, I Wish via Sony Music Masterworks – LISTEN HERE. Each a social media sensation with millions of followers tuning in to their captivating live performances, the two artists recorded the song live in-studio in Tokyo, their unique instrumental arrangement blending elements of jazz, funk, R&B, and soul in a showcase of their distinctive playing styles. Today’s track arrives alongside an accompanying music video for I Wish – WATCH HERE.
“Working with Hayato on I Wish was one of the most challenging and fun experiences,” notes Marcin. “We arranged the song in about two hours at Hayato’s studio in Tokyo, and two days later we were already recording it live in the studio! It was the first time I was tracking a true, live, jazz-style performance with another artist and Hayato is such a beast! I knew how crazy he was on the piano before, but actually seeing how he worked in the studio was so inspiring for me. Take 12 is the one that we used. It’s a fun and pure piece of music – just two friends from completely different continents jamming in a studio.
"I’m beyond excited to collaborate with my friend, the incredibly unique and charismatic guitarist, Marcin,” exclaims Hayato Sumino. “The blend of guitar and piano isn’t something you hear every day, which makes this project even more thrilling. The chemistry between us was absolutely electric!"
