Michael Francis - Pony 2012
Producer: Cito on the Beat
Album: None
Label: Unsigned
In the words of Shakespeare, dost mine ears deceive me? Could it be? Hast some brave soul attempted to remake Ginuwine’s ’96 R&B jam Pony? Ok, so maybe that’s not exactly a Shakespeare quote, but the points the same; holy s**t, Michael Francis just dropped his version of Pony for 2012. When you’re dealing with a song so classic I asked Ginuwine play it at my wedding - no, really - I’m going to be wary, but I have to admit – Michael Francis has really pulled it off. Producer Cito on the Beat only tweaks the original beat, chopping that famous synth line and giving the percussion a more (appropriately) riding feel. But on a song like this all the production mastery in the world couldn’t cover sub-par vocals and Francis delivers, hitting the same steamy notes and placing the same emphatic flairs as the original. While Pony 2012 is a stand alone single, those eager to jump on more Michael Francis music should keep an ear out for his upcoming album, Cold Heart Chronicle, which lucky listeners can cop an advanced copy of right now.

This "Pony" doesn't hold a candle to that "Pony," but its still very good in its own right. The fact that I have heard Michael's new album - and let me tell you, its very good - helps with my assessment.

Cool cover of the track, but I agree with Z and say that this doesn't even come close to touching the original.

This is tight right here! This was one of my favorite songs and I'm not usually into the remakes, but Michael Francis does a GREAT job with the classic. Very nice voice and I like the new play on the production by Cito on the beat! This BUMPS. BANGER!
