Rita Wilson has definitely changed her attitude towards the Supremes’ largest hit “Come See About Me” and has even created a lively video calling it a “fan weekend jam”. She has put her own stamp on this Motown classic which is the third version in her collection of favourite remakes produced by Rumble Doll and Ron Aniello.

Rita Wilson is the ultimate weekend vibe and honestly, we are all in for it. She has just dropped her rendition of the Supremes’ classic, “Come See About Me,” and the mood is nothing less than joyful. The footage she posted shows her enjoying herself thoroughly, effortlessly singing along the track with that Wilson glow. She brands it as a “long-time favorite” and a “fan weekend jam,” which is also our consensus. Who wouldn’t want a bit of Motown support to kick their day or week off?

The original song is definitely one of the finest from the remarkable Supremes, and Wilson’s version of it is so invigorating and so contemporary that it almost loses its soulful character. Besides the Rumble Doll and Ron Aniello production team, she credits the duo with their input in building her interpretation of the classic as well. There is no doubt that this is not such a big project for her but she really respects the original work, and that’s what makes covers feel more authentic.

And people are enjoying it. The comments on her post reveal that people are being very positive and are sending lots of good vibes. One of the viewers simply expressed, “Love it Rita – congrats!” which is totally reasonable. The viewer expressed a direct compliment that goes hand in hand with the simple joy of the post using his/her words.

Another user shared with a bit more, “I appreciate the fact that you take the oldies and give them a fresh spin along with a vibe lift. Kudos!” That is the point, indeed. A cover is the one that does not merely duplicate, but interprets. It picks a loved song and allows the new artist’s character to shine through. Wilson seems to have found the ideal blending between the two extremes, making the track sound both past and present.

The global adoration was also heard in one of the comments that said, “I admire you!!! Talented, beautiful with charm ❤️”, after being translated from Russian. The fact that music—and the way Wilson interprets it—surrenders the barrier of the language is a worldwide call to love. It’s all about the feel.

Then followed a concise yet powerful comment from another fan: “I adore this side of you.” At times, the simplest remarks hit the hardest. It appears that this musical route is not merely for the listeners’ pleasure but—perhaps—it also denotes a creative and joyous phase for Wilson.

Wilson has been steadily and silently establishing a strong music career over the years, mostly working on covers and original songs that undoubtedly hold sentimental value for her. This new single is a perfect piece of that puzzle. She is not after the trend; rather she shares the tunes that—she hopes—will make her audience and herself want to dance in the lounge.
