WATCH/EMBED: Naughty Professor feat. David Shaw of The Revivalists ~ Stray Having established a penchant for creative restlessness and edgy experimentalism, "Stray" finds Naughty Professor's songwriting craft honed and sharp, and Shaw's soulful and dynamic vocals are a perfect pairing for the band's flawless musicianship. "When Sam came to the band with the original musical idea for Stray, within the first few run-throughs, and after some reflection, we all agreed that Dave's voice was the perfect one to really bring this song to life," says Naughty Professors' John Culbreth (trumpet) of the collaboration. "Now that it's been recorded and produced, I must say, I think we were right." Naughty Professor raises the stakes on its upcoming album release, Identity. Where their prior releases showcased the group's knack for self-contained instrumentals, Identity finds the band teaming with a stellar assortment of more than a dozen cutting-edge collaborators, with Jurassic 5's Chali 2na, Ivan Neville, Benny Bloom, Mike Dillon, members of The Soul Rebels, and others lending vocal, instrumental and compositional contributions. The result finds Naughty Professor expanding their music into exciting new territory.Naughty Professor On Tour:
