I heard this on 96X in the car the other day and the song stuck with me. The DJ said it had been "big in France" for a while but it had just arrived here. Googling the next day I found out that it requires some unpacking. The song is "This Girl", and the 2016 release is from the French DJ Kungs (aka Valentin Brunel) and it's a remix of the 2009 song by the Australian funk/soul/Motown revival group Cookin' on 3 Burners (who remind me of St. Paul and the Broken Bones), featuring Kylie Auldist.
The original version sounds like it was recorded in the mid 70s and the Kungs version is a sped up, house version. Both are enjoyable and worth checking out.
