Kenny Rocket’s “Rock Wit’Cha” Is a Smooth, Sensual Throwback Reimagined in Jazz

If you’ve ever found yourself craving that silky blend of soul, jazz, and nostalgia, the kind that wraps around your ears like a velvet robe, Kenny Rocket is the artist to watch. Hailing from Detroit, a city steeped in musical legacy, Kenny Rocket (real name Kenneth Morris Jr.) has spent decades fine-tuning his craft. From backing R&B legends like Ginuwine, Xscape, and Kindred the Family Soul, to holding it down in jazz orchestras and wedding halls alike, Kenny’s musical journey reads like a love letter to groove, feeling, and finesse. His roots trace back to gospel, and his sound is kissed by the influence of icons like Wes Montgomery and Prince, but make no mistake, his voice is entirely his own.

And with his latest release, “Rock Wit’Cha,” Kenny is inviting you into that voice. This is an experience, a mood, and a moment that feels like it’s been plucked from a slow dance under city lights. A reimagined jazz cover of one of his childhood favorites (you might recognize the original singer if you know your quiet storm classics), this rendition is a delicate balance of reverence and reinvention.

Clocking in at 3 minutes and 58 seconds, the track leans heavily on lush, expressive instrumentation. Kenny lets his guitar do most of the talking here, and what a conversation it is. Every note glides like candlelight across satin sheets, each riff whispering something intimate. Groove is slow, deliberate, and drenched in romance, channeling that late-night, glass-of-wine energy we all secretly crave.

The only lyrics appear in the chorus, but they say more than enough:

I wanna rock wit’cha, baby
All night long
I wanna roll wit’cha, lady
Feeling’s so strong
I wanna rock wit’cha, baby
All night long
Rock and roll and roll and rock
Makin’ sweet love, don’t you ever stop.

Delivered with silky smooth backing vocals and a gentle sway, these lines don’t need verses to tell a story, they are the story. They capture the essence of what Kenny’s playing conveys: connection, desire, and emotional presence. There’s a tenderness here that doesn’t rely on flash or volume. It’s quiet, confident intimacy, the kind you only get from someone who’s spent years listening before playing.

While many covers get bogged down in trying to outdo the original, Kenny Rocket knows better. His approach is all about honoring the emotion while letting his jazz roots breathe fresh life into the melody. The result is a version that feels both classic and new, comfortably familiar yet thrillingly alive.

More than anything, “Rock Wit’Cha” feels personal. You can tell this song has lived in Kenny’s memory for years, and now he’s handing it over to us, not with a megaphone, but with an open hand. It’s an invitation to slow down, dim the lights, and really feel again.

So what are you waiting for? Stream it now, because when Kenny says he wants to rock with you all night long, trust me, you’ll want to stay!
