United States-based reggae singer Mye Laurell is generating buzz on local airwaves with her soulful remake of Diana Ross’ classic hit It’s My House, a fresh interpretation produced by reggae veteran Richie Stephens.

According to Laurell, the decision to revisit the 1979 anthem was entirely Stephens’ idea. The veteran producer believed her vocal tone bore a resemblance to the legendary Motown singer.

“Richie Stephens chose the song, not me. He said my speaking voice reminds him of Diana Ross. I didn’t know the song at first. He taught me the song. He said if I’m a big singer, I don’t need to know the song, just to follow his lead. So I did,” she shared.
