R&B Legend Keith Sweat Taps Qing Madi For “Working”

In a powerful collaboration that bridges generations, R&B icon Keith Sweat has teamed up with rising star Qing Madi for their new single, “Working” The track is a poignant and honest look at the complexities of modern love, with Sweat’s legendary vulnerability blending seamlessly with Madi’s fresh Afro-soul vocals.

“Two Steps” is a heartfelt exploration of love and persistence, telling a familiar story of imbalance in a relationship—the emotional push-and-pull of taking two steps forward and three steps back. Sweat’s raw and unmistakable delivery conveys the grind of “working and searching” for love, unafraid to show the emotional scars of his journey. This signature style has long connected him with listeners, and on this track, it’s more potent than ever.

Adding a fresh layer of tenderness, Qing Madi’s soulful, youthful voice brings a new dynamic to the song. Her performance creates a generational blend of old-school R&B depth and contemporary Afro-soul sensitivity. The pairing of these two distinct artists results in a timeless yet contemporary sound that is already resonating with audiences across borders.

The single is available on all major streaming platforms.
