Mega Trio Usher, JayDon & Paradise Join Forces for ‘Lullaby’ Remix: Listen

Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay hit “Lullaby” by JayDon & Paradise now boasts a remix version. Released on Friday (Dec. 12), “Lullaby (mega remix)” features the rising artists’ label boss Usher.

Taking its cue from the original lush ballad version, “Lullaby (mega remix)” arrives wrapped in a vibrant, mid-tempo groove that perfectly accentuates the trio’s sparkling harmonies and soulful riffs. Initially released in February, “Lullaby” — along with second single “I’ll Be Good” — appears on JayDon’s debut EP Me My Song & I. The album’s October release by mega/gamma. was preceded in June by the “Lullaby” video, which has since garnered 1.6 million views on YouTube. The single itself peaked at No. 13 on Billboard’s Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart.

Both JayDon and Paradise are signed to mega, the label founded by Usher and Antonio “L.A.” Reid in partnership with Larry Jackson’s gamma. Named Billboard’s R&B Rookie of the Month in June, JayDon says that working with Usher and Reid is “like a big bro mentorship type of relationship. Usher’s been so generous with his time and expertise, encouraging me to study the greats to see what real hunger is and how to turn every room into my spotlight. And I’ve been in the studio with L.A. every day for the past year, soaking up so much knowledge from him too.

“I get to learn so much from two different musical geniuses and apply it to today’s era,” continues JayDon, who’s been co-signed by Justin Bieber and Chris Brown. “It gives me a leg up, and I am blessed.”

Prior to “Lullaby,” alt-R&B purveyor Paradise released several singles of his own including “Highway,” “Easier Said Than Done” and the latest, “All to Myself.” Sharing JayDon’s sentiments, Paradise says, “They [Usher and Reid] understood my vision without me having to over-explain it. That’s when I knew being with mega/gamma. was the right fit. This partnership is more than numbers and streams for me because it feels intimate. We’re all able to challenge each other to get to what’s great.

“When people look back,” adds Paradise, “I want them to say this era was the spark — where they could feel something shifting even if they couldn’t name it yet.”
