The Roy Ayers-produced 'Searchin'' is a standout groove from Sylvia Striplin's 1981 album, Give Me Your Love, which is smooth, soulful and unmistakably Ayers. The track flows with lush Rhodes keys, a rolling bassline and Striplin's silky vocals all creating a timeless blend of jazz-funk and r&b. Ayers's production is warm and hypnotic, letting each instrument breathe while building a dreamy, late-night vibe and though somewhat overlooked in its time, 'Searchin'' has since become a rare groove classic and a perfect snapshot of Ayers's melodic genius and Striplin's understated vocal allure.
