Miki Howard has recorded Together We're A Good Thing with the songwriters Helen Bruner and Terry Jones, a pairing SoulTracks called historic and then named its song of the month.
The arithmetic behind that description is simple enough: three Grammy nominees on one record, two of them writers with a long history of supplying other people's biggest moments and one a singer whose catalogue is a fixture of American soul radio.
The song is about a couple who have been round the corner with each other more than once and have finally worked out that they are better together than apart. It is a muscular midtempo record with clear nods to an older way of building one, and the writing is melodic in the way Bruner and Jones songs usually are.
SoulTracks argued it would have fitted straight into the golden age of soul music and is just as welcome now, which is the compliment and the limitation in one sentence. Howard's classical vocal placed against that writing produces something that sounds finished rather than current.
It ships as a two-sided single alongside Never Gonna Fall, which SoulTracks introduced in early August, and the site named the pair together as its song of the month rather than picking one. Both file under R&B and soul and are logged on the release calendar.
