You Belong to Me - Anita Baker - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Epitomising the pliant yet indestructible power of Anita Baker's opulent alto, this cover of the 1978 song by Carly Simon and Michael McDonald sees her hug the microphone almost as if her life depended on it. The Ohio-born singer-songwriter dropped her debut studio album The Songstress in 1983 and spent the remainder of the '80s causing a quiet storm with follow-up releases like 1986 album Rapture, on which signature hit "Sweet Love" was contained. She took a brief break from recording after the release of Compositions in 1990 before making a triumphant return to the charts with 1994 comeback album Rhythm of Love, which received the Grammy nomination for Best R&B Album in 1995. "You Belong to Me" is the eighth track on the LP and differs from the aforementioned original in its slower tempo and fragrant jazz flourishes, which includes a noirish saxophone solo that cuts through the smokey atmospheric soul of the track's terrain.
