Vic Latino, Frankie J & Robbie Rivera Reimagine “Back at One” with Afrohouse & Chill House Versions
Revisiting a classic is always a bold choice, but Vic Latino and Frankie J have gone beyond just revisiting “Back at One” — they’ve reimagined, reconstructed, and delivered not one but two genre-crossing versions that add new life to the timeless Brian McKnight love song. Released through 4G1B Music, the project features both a melodic afrohouse original and a sexy chill house remix by Robbie Rivera.
Afrohouse Vibes Revive Classic
At the core of this dual-drop package is Frankie J’s stunning vocal performance. Re-sung with warmth, sincerity, and soul, his voice glides effortlessly over Vic Latino’s original afrohouse production. A deep, rhythmic background layered with shimmering melodies and late-night energy. The track is seductive and expansive, the kind of dance record that feels just as powerful in a dark club as it does in your headphones on a midnight drive. The afrohouse groove keeps you hooked, while Frankie J’s vocals hold you emotionally grounded. It’s a reinvention, not a cover — a transformation that respects the original while making it feel fresh again.
If the original version heats up the dancefloor, Robbie Rivera’s Chill House Mix leans into the afterglow. Simplifying to a slow, sensual groove, Rivera creates an atmosphere full of texture and intimacy. His production pulses with a restrained elegance, allowing Frankie’s vocals to breathe even more, resulting in a version suited for sunrise sets and candlelit moments alike. It’s chill, but it moves — hypnotic, yet soulful.
“I wanted to take a timeless love song and give it a fresh afrohouse heartbeat — with Frankie J’s soulful vocals, ‘Back at One’ became melodic, sexy, and perfect for the dancefloor,” says Vic Latino. “And having Robbie Rivera remix it into something completely different just took the whole release to another level.”
This release bridges genres and moods by offering both a sleek afrohouse anthem for the dancefloor and a relaxed rework for more introspective moments. Unified by Frankie J’s timeless vocals and Vic Latino’s innovative production, both versions of “Back at One” provide distinctive listening experiences while respecting the emotional depth of the original. Whether you’re grooving to the rhythm or relaxing in the afterglow, this release connects on every level.
