After releasing a sensational debut “Skinny Love” remix, future R&B producer JR Nelson has remained quiet over the past few months fueling up for a winter storm of new material. Tackling Andra Day’s slow and soulful “Rise Up”, JR Nelson remixes her piano-based acoustic sound to bump with his avant-garde pop-style.

Opening the gates to a flood of new music, JR Nelson’s “Rise Up” remix is a refreshing and uplifting play on the future of R&B and pop music.
