Laying down funky electro jams with a salute to social justice, LA-based synth-pop savant Missions is back with a smooth rendition of the classic Supermax track “Loversnight.” In a show of solidarity with the people of South Africa, multiracial European band Supermax toured throughout the country in 1981, during the brutal segregation of apartheid.
Paying tribute to this spirit of civil equality, Missions reinterprets the piece through his signature cast of bright analog synthesizers, fresh bass lines and electronic vocals. This beautifully honed production style combines a love of sound design with the seductive allure of vintage pop, making this version of “Loversnight” an exciting and seamless addition to Missions’ catalog.

lyrics
Someday you'll find yourself in a uptight way
Don't let the problems get you down
There's a rainbow and it's painted just for you
Love needs no face that wears a frown
I found the key to unlock your heart
And every door inside of me
So let me say
What I expect from you
Sweet, sweet love
(I need your love inside of me)
I gonna do everything for you tonight
(Only your love can set me free)
I'm gonna do everything until tomorrow
(It's loversnight)
No time for no wasting
You know we should be already tasting
(It's loversnight)
For the pleasure and it's giving
Love is appealing yea
(It's loversnight)
In the feeling of romancing
No, no-no with love we can't be rushing
(It's loversnight)
No answering the phone
We should be getting on
Should we get it on?
(I need your love inside of me)
I gonna do everything for you tonight
(Only your love can set me free)
I'm gonna do everything until tomorrow
(It's loversnight)
No time for no wasting
We should be, should be, should be already tasting
(It's loversnight)
No I'm gonna give you everything you need
I’ll give you everything you need, you need, you need, you need, you need
(It's loversnight)
