So I wrote this song for Cassie a while back and it got to where it needed to go and things were looking great. Then (of course) it fell through. Not even sure she sings anymore lolz…Why on earth I decided to work in this business that has no rhyme or reason and is just pretty much a hot mess is beyond me. But I’m stuck in love and its too late to get out.
Remember when RnB and techno had a baby in the 90’s?? And how everyone’s trying to clone that baby now in 2010? Cept, they failed. Instead of cloning it, they’ve created a mutant baby that is trying to kill our memory of what was once good music. I literally turned off the radio and sat in silence today while I was driving!
Ever hear of Crystal Waters? La Bouche? Londonbeat? It’s been done people!! If your gonna recycle at least make something useful out of it, otherwise just throw it in the TRASH! Geez louise!
Soooo I miss the 90’s I could post a million favorite songs a day in every genre…This one’s sorta a guilty pleasure but definitely a feel good song. Makes me smile, and I kinda needed that today. I NEVER knew who sang it til I looked it up lol I’m actually terrible with artist and song names, probably should work on that…
So here’s my little snippet of Des’ree “You Gotta Be” (Don’t mind the cheesy karaoke)
Ok so this is one of my all time favorite songs. I remember me and my cousins singing all the different parts and harmonies every time we were together. It was serious…everyone was assigned a part they were in charge of singing right…as if we were preparing for a performance or something lol. We loved this song! Now that I look back on it, we played alot of singing harmonizing games as children …guess tag wasn’t good enough!
I’m realizing now, even as a child, how attracted I was to songs with counter melodies and intricate harmonies, I think that’s why I usually put stuff like that in my songs…so here you go. Seal “Kiss From a Rose” Enjoy!
People keep asking me what/who my influences are and tho I have many, Kelis releasing a new single “Accapella” reminded me of how much I loved her growing up. (Not my fav song but the video is sick) As a kid, I was very drawn to her artistry and creativity. In fact, one of my favorite songs,”Get Along With You” is a Kelis song which never really got super popular but I still love it to this day so I’m going to share it with you so you can love it too! Im pretty sure she’s the influence for some of my quirky ideas lol
I will be posting some of my favs every week, these are the things and people that influenced my artistry and what its become today. Can’t wait for you to hear the new stuff I’ve been working on!!
but…you just have to wait my loves!
