Hrs & Hrs

Usher Joins Muni Long For Super Sensual “Hrs & Hrs (Remix)”

by

Usher is known as something of a heartthrob within the music industry, which is what made him the perfect collaborative option for Muni Long’s new “Hrs & Hrs (Remix).” The singer-songwriter first shared the romantic track in 2021, but she continues to find ways to breathe new life into it. While her intro and verse remains the same on this New Music Friday’s (June 23) version, Usher comes in midway through the slow and sensual song to turn up the heat like only he can.

“Where would I be if I didn’t have you? / I’d be a fool / What’s mine is yours and is ours / Yes it is / I’ve never been in love like this / A love like us / Is exactly what I need / Every night for some hours,” the Texas-born superstar beautifully croons. So far fans have been sharing positive reviews of the joint effort online, though it may not be the first time fans of Usher and Long have heard it.

Muni Long Taps Usher for the “Hrs & Hrs (Remix)”

As Rated R&B notes, the “Baby Boo” hitmaker joined Usher during his Lovers & Friends Festival set last month, at which time they sang a duet to a cheering audience. The original “Hrs & Hrs” earned Long her first-ever Grammy for Best R&B Performance, so it’s understandable why she wants to keep the torch lit. However, she’s given us plenty of other new arrivals in the same since then on her Public Displays of Affection: The Album project, and is sure to keep the fire coming as she grows as an artist.

Stream Muni Long’s new “Hrs & Hrs (Remix)” with Usher on YouTube above, or add it to your playlist on Spotify/Apple Music. Which version do you prefer more, this weekend’s or the 2021 original? Let us know in the comments, and check back later this weekend for more HNHH release recommendations.

Quotable Lyrics:

Where would I be if I didn’t have you?
I’d be a fool
What’s mine is yours and is ours, yes it is
I’ve never been in love like this

Muni Long Unleashes Spanish Version Of “Hrs & Hrs” Alongside “Superstar” Song: Stream

by

Over a year since the arrival of her smash hit single, “Hrs & Hrs,” Muni Long continues to find new ways to reimagine the same track. At the end of January, the singer-songwriter shared the Spanish version. It’s titled “Horas y Horas,” and recently landed alongside a new track exclusively on Spotify.

As Vibe reports, The Avila Brothers reimagined the production, which finds the vocalist asking “¿Pero te puedo cantar…en español?” or, “But can I sing to you… in Spanish?” as the sultry music begins.

Later on she continues with lyrics like, “Lo tuyo, es mío, ahora / Puedo hacer esto por horas,” and “Sentar y hablarte aquí por horas / Regalarte unas rosas.”

The new take of “Hrs & Hrs” finally arrived alongside “Superstar” a few days ago. The latter finds Long once again sharing her beautiful voice – this time in English.

“Don’t you remember you told me you love me baby? / You said you’ll be coming back this way again, baby,” she floats over the chorus. “I love you / I really do.”

Thus far, both tracks have received a primarily positive audience reaction. Seeing listeners gush over the Spanish version isn’t entirely surprising, seeing as the original single was nominated for both Best R&B Song and Performance at the upcoming 2023 Grammy Awards.

Additionally, Long also earned a nod for Best New Artist alongside names like Latto, Tobe Nwigwe, and Måneskin, just to name a few.

While she’s best known by her stage name, Muni’s real name is Pricilla Renea. Speaking with Billboard, she explained how she finds the difference between those two identities.

“I think I was so unaware as Priscilla, I was just doing stuff. As Muni Long, I’m aware, I’m intentional. I took two years off between my last project that I put out as Priscilla to when I started my label [Supergiant] from 2018 to 2020,” she recalled.

“As Muni, I really put on about 15 different hats and I compartmentalize. And I just chipped away at the tree and started building this world totally different, like night and day. It literally was like a reset.”

Quotable Lyrics:
