After 10 years between albums, the soul singer made a triumphant comeback last year with Landing on a Hundred. Watch ChesnuTT perform one of that record's catchiest and most poignant songs, "That's Still Mama," at WFUV in New York City.

Soul singer Cody ChesnuTT strips his sound down to its solo essence in this performance of the lyrically rich "That's Still Mama," a song about remembering where you come from. ChesnuTT mostly dropped out of the spotlight during the 10 years that passed following his 2002 debut, The Headphone Masterpiece — a stretch which clearly inspired his new album, Landing on a Hundred. He recorded most of the project in Memphis at Al Green's old studio, and the result sounds both timeless and contemporary. Watch the entire session with ChesnuTT at WFUV.org.
