Get Used to It is a funk album by the Brand New Heavies released 27 June 2006 via Starbucks and more traditional music retail outlets.

Background

Get Used to It is the first album with lead singer N'Dea Davenport since she departed the band after the release of their 1994 album Brother Sister for a solo career. Following the band's reunion with Davenport. They also reunited with their former record label Delicious Vinyl. The album was recorded in New York and London. In early May, they released the lead single "I Don't Know Why (I Love You)," a cover of the Stevie Wonder song that was the B-side to his 1968 hit single "My Cherie Amour." The band toured at the end of 2006.

Tom Moulton mixes

"I Don't Know Why (I Love You)" was notable for being one of very few late releases to feature the trademarked A Tom Moulton Mix, as the legendary disco pioneer had been asked to contribute mixes. Impressed with the Heavies, the pioneering engineer eventually took on the task of remixing the entire Get Used To It. Unfortunately, the album's original mix was already finished and on its way to press. The new mixes were eventually re-released as Get Used To It: The Tom Moulton Mixes with a new cover featuring only Moulton's image. The digital re-release also made available instrumental mixes of each Tom Moulton mix.
