Description:

Released on Atlantic Records in 1980, “Music Trance” finds Ben E. King experimenting with lush, groove-oriented production that bridges late-disco and modern soul. Layered with strings, shimmering synths, and King’s smooth vocals, it stands as a refined, forward-looking entry in his catalog.

DJ Premier sampled “Music Trance” for Gang Starr’s “The Place Where We Dwell” (1992), looping its groove into a relaxed, jazzy rhythm bed. This connection perfectly illustrates how King’s soulful craftsmanship continued to resonate into the 1990s hip-hop landscape — timeless, textured, and effortlessly musical.
