During Barnes' ''Soul Deep 30'' tour, Andrews sang a duet of Wilson Pickett's ''In the Midnight Hour'' with Barnes. Prior to singing this song on 16 June Barnes stated that Andrews had been "adopted" by his family, and on 25 June, Barnes complimented Andrews by saying that, while his voice could be loud, the power of her voice made his voice sound "like a fly" at rehearsals. On the same night, Andrews also spoke about Barnes' generosity in allowing her to use his home studio to record an upcoming album, and how she received assistance from Barnes' daughter Mahalia Barnes and Mahalia's husband Ben Rodgers on vocals and album production respectively.
