Keri was performing this song for awhile back during the "Futuresex/Lovesound" tour and i was always interested to hear the full track. Although its only a snip, its still dope. And you get to see Keri put her swag on a hugely popular song.
Random Tidbit: I might be late, but i read the other day that Kelly wasn't actually the first woman in mind for the track, reportedly it was presented to P!nk, and when she turned it down they tried to give it to Hilary Duff (wtf??), but Kelly did it justice, and Keri did too. Good job.
Everyone talks about how much this track reminds them of "Halo" from Beyonce, but i happen to love "Halo" so the similarities don't bother me. I love Kelly's voice on the track and her album is great.
Now I already establish i love BoA, but this track caught me hella off guard. I kept saying the girl's voice wasn't all that good...but she shut me up real quick. She's got some range there, but her voice is very unique so it's hard to tell. However the vocals on this track got me wondering just what she's capable of.
I told you i was feeling Kelis hard this week, and i wasn't kidding. The song has been heavy on rotation right along with all the new stuff i been listening to. Can't wait for a new project from her.
As a songwriter i'm completely in love with this song. It's so smart, and everything she says fits right into the theme. Overall the track just feels good, and sounds like the perfect single for late summer. Keri's album "In a Perfect World" drops this week, make sure to go get a copy.
Now i feel bad, cause i havent sat down and listened to his album, which everyone is telling me is AMAZING. But its on my to-do list...in fact when i go this tuesday to get Keri's album, imma pick this one up (is it even out yet??). Anywho, this song somebody brought to my attention, and i fell in love with the track, J's voice soars and the song is beautiful. Def something to listen to with that special person in your life.
:::BONUS:::
bonus track today, i gotta admit i was addicted to Kanye West "Amazing" when it first dropped, and the track that Dream and X-tina did got me hella open. They put it down!!
