If you know this song, “Lean On”, I believe the original version is by Major Lazer (and DJ Snake). But, this does not sound like the version of which I am most familiar. Do the SDopers know of other popular versions that is less “flashy” than Major Lazer’s version?.I think the version I hear in my head is a solo, or starts off as as solo and maybe acapella (but almost spoken, but not quite). What can you share about this song and its covers? …or maybe I am imaging the “less flashy” version???

Maybe this version? It was in a commercial a while back.

I think you forgot the link or the link did not go “hyper”. Please re-post, if you can.
