JODECI - "CRY FOR YOU"In an age where most of today's songs are just about Kinky Sex & Ugly Break-Ups, it refreshing to go back to a time where it was just about LOVE. I Love You, I Need You, Let's Work Though This, Etc. A lot of Love-Making went down with this song in the background; and I would imagine more than a few guys used this song to make his Lady smile after he f__ked up. We need more of this today. And for me personally, songs like this carry so much more meaning inside. She knows... HOWARD HEWETT-SHOW MEStarting with his days as Lead Singer for Shalamar, and on to what appears to have been a stable & successful career as a solo artist, Howard Hewett personifies everything that was the late eighties/early nineties soul music scene. During that era the music was much more sensual than before; but it still cared about romance. Singers like this told her how beautiful she looked, took her out-or kept her in for candle light dinner, maybe a shower or massage, THEN it was time to make love. Ahhhh, thise were the days. MARY J. BLIGE feat LAURYN HILL-BE WITH YOU *REMIX*I first came across this song on an old DJ Evil Dee Mixtape back in the day, and as if I didn't love the original, I went BANANAS over the remix! It's pretty safe to say that in 94-95, these two women ruled the Soul/R&B music world for sure. And still to this day, regardless of whether they have current music out, the mention of these two names can bring an excitement like few others. Can we get a second coming of this collaboration please??? L-Boogie & Mary J in 2014! Fingers crossed... QUEEN LATIFAH-JUST ANOTHER DAYOne of the two standout cuts on Latifah's 1993 album "Black Reign," "Just Another Day" provides a lovely little flow that should inspire one to just enjoy & soak up Life's "Little Things." Much more mellow than what we had come to hear from "Her Royal Badness," one could say with a certainty that this song & likely most of that album was inspired out of the pain of losing her brother to a motorcycle accident then prior year. The beauty of it is that no matter what the year, or motivation behind the song, the message remains UNIVERSAL... Enjoy. |
