The Progressive Underground Pick of the Week: ‘You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)’ by Moses Sumney feat. Lyra Pramuk and Sam Smith
The song is experimental and soulful, perfectly combining the voices of the three artists into a harmonious, blended and note-perfect delivery.

This week’s pick comes from the renowned Red Hot Organization, a nonprofit that procures music and media dedicated to social change. They’ve been putting out music compilations dedicated to raising awareness about diversity and equity, and their latest series titled ‘TRANSA’ (stylized TRAИƧA) celebrates gender expression.
For this particular tune, the services of Moses Sumney, Sam Smith and Lyra Pramuk were contracted to remake the iconic and powerful classic dance tune “You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real),” which offers a new take on the original classic by Sylvester. The song is experimental and soulful, perfectly combining the voices of the three artists into a harmonious, blended and note-perfect delivery.
So let’s check it out. Here’s Moses Sumney, Sam Smith and Lyra Pramuk with “You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real),” and it’s my Pick of the Week.
