[missladylove100]

I love jazz music. I don't know much about Adriana Evans. I love her music and her laidback smooth, soulful, lovely voice. ^_^

[Tahjai888]

UN_DER_RATED!

[TheCalebson]

I love her music!

[piankhy123]

Nice song. The bassline and the use of the trumpets reminds me of a Barry white song, for the life of me I cannot remember the name of that Barry White song.

[MrFireLT]

@piankhy123

The Barry White song is Playing your game

[only1rb]

Adiana's entire CD is sweet! Wish there had been much more air play for her. Very smooth.

[ThaRealHipHop2008]

Finding songs like this is what all this diggin is for.....4 real!

[cafefunk]

@ThaRealHipHop2008

Too true!

[ebbiesart]

This is one of my all time favorites from the 90's. And she's so beautiful. And a natural sista too! She's so underrated. But never the less, what a true songbird. You go girl!!!!

[pbrown91]

People really slept on her. I played this CD left and right, up and down, inside and out. She was so bomb!!!!

[4467j]

@pbrown91 Not "was the bomb."

She "Is the bomb" her new CD "Walking With

The Night" is incredible!!!!

[pbrown91]

@4467j

Oh wow, I didn't know she had out a new project. I will definitely check it out. Thanks for the heads up. :-)

[youcef]

Whoever is hittin that has got it MADE

[MrMillett1]

Absolutely love her. Shout out to Loud Records for releasing her first CD and introducing me to her. Unfortunately back then people hopped on the Eryka Badu train and left AE behind in the dust. Incredible talent and beauty to back it all up.

[ving1985]

She's truly a treasure. THANKS FOR THE POSTING.

[memyself2k]

@ving1985 You're welcome

[givitallUgot]

[bluedentist1]

When is Adriana coming back on the seen?????? Miss your music.....Hurry up and save us from all the bs. they play today!

[willomo]

she still sounds amazing so cool

[solameencuentro]

OMG!!! I just discover in her biography that she is a black latina...her real name is adriana madera (latin last name)

YES!!!!!! black latin power...we are a lot....

[gemenilaidback]

@solameencuentro & she is hermosa!

[trippyboi91]

severely underated cd... GLAD MY DAD HAD IT!!!!

[RadReese73]

Had the HUGEST crush on this woman when I was in college ''95-96... mann, I didnt know she married her producer Dredd Scott...

They make beautiful music together!

[XTRABIG]

remember Dredd Scott of Back in the days and Check my vibe? that's her husband.

[Solful38]

Adriana's joints "Walking With The Night" and "El Camino"

available in the US on itunes!!! I'm tellin' everyone!!!!!

[Boogers4dinner]

I had the single to this on record. I used to sample from 0:04 to 0:05 and repeat it over and over and I used to freestyle over it. It was a ill as beat to freestyle over too. LOL

[ansymo67]

This woman is soooo under rated!!!

[thmpsonNviz]

She's gotta be the most underrated artist of our time. I have a suggestion. She needs to seek out DJ Lance of "Yo Gabba Gabba" the popular, and progressive children's tv show. It would introduce a whole new generation, and their parents to her music.

[RadReese73]

@thmpsonNviz Abso-fuggin-lutely!

[papi420chulo]

Gorgeous gem that not too many know about. Adriana is AMAZING!!

[NJNupe1911]

Ahhh thank you for posting this! I saw this song today on VH-1 Soul was hooked!

[memyself2k]

@NJNupe1911 You're welcome.

[lpc0615]

I love this song, great jazzy feel.

[memyself2k]

You're welcome.

[luvnhappinezz]

Very Nice post. I appreciate the send.

[memyself2k]

You're welcome.

[missumusicz]

nice post here!!! glad to have seen it...

Missu/One

[memyself2k]

You're welcome.

[bigbankX]

Wow ... that's all i can say

[winst999]

the mother of neo soul

[thislost]

I just saw this on tv yesterday and I had no idea this vid was 13 years old! I thought this was from a new artist or something from '02 maybe. It didn't seem very 97 to me but then again I was only nine years old that year.

[grgson1]

this song is perfection! anybody knows the sample?!?

[4467j]

@grgson1 Actually she sampled herself!

They recorded this with all live instruments

(the original version is on the album). They

sampled that version and put a programmed

beat under it for this remix. What a concept, original music!

[grgson1]

@4467j tnx on the info!

[Caging101]

Lovely sound. Very good indeed :-).

[ArealWhopper09]

everytime i listen to her i swear its like sunshine on a rainy day

[jspitz]

adriana evans and mariah carey gave me mad boners back in high school.

yep, just had to state that.

[nelsonmalo1983]

amo a esta mujer

[sinematic06]

Adriana Evans "Walking With The Night" Japanese version- 1-24-2010, UK version- 2-8-2010. Support her!!!

[jaydeeforever1]

i've been i love wit her sense she first came out. she is so beautiful

[bostonchip2006]

I wrote a poem about the place" 5 Times Paris" my visits to the world's city of LOVE...Adriana takes me back to 1988. Cheers

Mr. Chip's

[TheMidcoast1]

I'm feeling this !!! just started seeing the video on VH1 in Detroit a couple of months ago. Love this sound so soothing and mellow. Just like old times.

[knightfall79]

From start to finish, this was one of the year's ('97)

best releases. Her voice is like a cool shower, and a shot of smoothe cognac!

[nomeconocen]

WHERE THE PHUGG has music like this gone?

[LilBenki]

I wish The old days would come back.When Music really meant something.

[dalsadasul]

SHE IS BEAUTIFUL !

[memyself2k]

I second that opinion.

[lxolxo7]

@dalsadasul Yes indeed she is! But I'd also like to add to your compliment.. Adriana Evans is STONE COLD FINE!!! ;) Mad props to memyself2k for posting! I'm about to buy a grip of her music that I found is still available on the net.

[JColeM7785]

@lxolxo7 she's got like 5 albums.

[lxolxo7]

@JColeM7785 Yeh, I know. I just bought them all plus this on single since I last posted!

[dalsadasul]

LINDA !

[iluvrachellef]

OMG i havnt heard this jam in like 10yrs.We used to have a couple of real urban stations here in Az but not anymore,they mostly all play the same thing,that damn Beyonce,Neo,A.Keys,Usher etc.I miss the days of real soul music :(

[memyself2k]

I agree.

[MRPOKECHOPS]

Adriana I've been in love with you for 12 years! Please do a concert in Vegas!!

[trippyboi91]

OMG! JUST GIVE U CHILLS! LOL

[olayinkas]

So underrated!!!! Everything she puts out is pure fiyah!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Boogers4dinner]

I used to sample this beat on my sampler and freestyle over it. LOL I had this single! It was that 90's era when hip hop was real! Rapping over jazzy loop tracks. I love that shit! I wish today's rappers would use jazz music in their raps then it would sound a hell of a lot better.

[flordogueto]

...lindaaaa...

[purepisco]

Adriana's voice is the shiznit !!

[StoicTwo]

Hey, man this is my ole smoke shit song, man the memories man this is an Trip Hop artist!!!!

-Stoicone!

[Skillz2perfect]

So slept on, her frist album is one of best I heard.

[Mrepifany]

isnt this thelma from goodtimes?

[Titans1973]

Nah this is Tudy from Facts of Life

[anishasharay]

no its tudy from facts of life

[ShikiNagumi]

you wrong for that one, LOL

[AcousticUplift]

Wow. Never knew about this video. Only saw 'Seeing is Believing'. Yeah it's a mystery she didn't do as well as others but maybe it was timing. As I recall 1996 was the pivotal year for 'Neo-Soul' and she came out in 1997, which was like the back end of the craze....just my theory anyway.

[deltasigmatheta4life]

I have this CD and I play it almost everyday!!! She is awesome!!!! Very Underrated!!

[memyself2k]

We agree on that. And she's so beautiful!

[flex280]

this is another lost gem. the entire lp was rock solid. fyi not only did i give this as a gift to a "close" friend, but michael jordan said this lp was his fav at the time as well. good shot.

[bibleranger]

Amen to that memyself2k!!!

[ralexand56]

Me too and it never gets old. Such a talent and such a beauty.

[tdman2]

does anybody know if shes planning on any new releases for the near future?

[nubianlegalmind]

Yep, she's re-releasing Nomadic soon

[enrique78]

Omg i love this cd and the video

[cococristallis]

I STILL love this cd and play it regularly...I remember being in college and my girl putting me on this....I hate it that she never got the recognition that E. Badu and L. Hill got cause she most certainly was in their class!

[memyself2k]

I agree totally! The music industry is Bullshit!

[LUVHYM]

PURE!

Miss Evans you are blessed

[Phokhotic]

i have this cd it's the 1st song......support real r&b not that t-pain shit

[memyself2k]

I'm with you on that.

[memyself2k]

So true.

[Boogers4dinner]

Love is all around. I had the LP single to this. I was going to rap sample it. I was going to flow over the instrumental. It was going to be on some Fugees type of hip hop style for that track by me. LOL

[kirz778]

One of her songs is used for the theme song of the LOGO show "Noah's Arc".

[memyself2k]

I am not familiar with that show.

[kirz778]

Noahs Arc was a show that lasted 2 seasons and was cancelled and then made into a movie. A very good show about Noah and his friends and the issues they face as black gay men living in urban america.

[memyself2k]

I had no idea. Any well known actors on that show?

[kirz778]

The actress that played "Drucilla" on the Young and the Restless was on the show and John Salley the basketball player had a small part. The show was surprisingly fresh and good. An Adriana Evans song was used for the opening credits to the show.

[memyself2k]

Oh, OK now I know. But unfortunately, shows like that don't last.

[true8teesbaby]

I've been playing the mess out of this song lately

[virtue737]

i mad that i wasn't up on her when she came out. where the heck was i?

she's truly a gem.

[susuemikado]

Love Adriana!

[Dona528]

I just saw a video of Adriana. It made me angry and happy. Angry because someone borrowed my cd about 10 years ago LOL. Happy because I love her sound and vibe. Casedith61

[memyself2k]

We all love her.

[sinematic06]

Thanks for posting...her latest album came out in 2007 called El Camino for those who wanna know or didnt know already. It's a classic just like her first album, true indeed.

[memyself2k]

You're welcome.

[remsta295]

memories!!! and im only 16, my mom used to play dis in the car, always loved dis song and the whole album..classic!

[moswete]

All prophets pay the price,I guess even i music it's the same thing.She was too early for most ears....but this track is eternal.

[TanyaPMP]

I LOVE this song!! I makes me want to drive with my windows down in NYC at night - and take in all of the city lights and cool breeze :)...lalalalala

[mlopezr28]

I just discovered Adriana Evans and fell in love of her music...soulful, sophisticated yet uplifting. She should be soaring in the same level of popularity as neosoul artist like A. Keys, J. Scott, etc.

[memyself2k]

I totally agree. We have to take back control of our music and determine for ourselves what should be mainstream and popular. They music business is shady and corrupted.

[sonjaxfactor]

you right about that.

[slickmedia]

wicked post!

[memyself2k]

Thanks.

[selvinor]

Another great artist not getting the recognition she so deserves. Other notables such as Hill St. Soul, Brand New Heavies, Lizz Wright--you get where I'm goin'. It makes me so angry that in order to find good music I have to go all over the web. I don't bother with the radio anymore. If I want to hear crap I can wait for the garbage truck in the morning when it comes to collect.

[memyself2k]

I feel you.

[SLICKDSM]

Would you be able to reload this video with better volume because I could barely hear this video if not for my speakers to my laptop.

[memyself2k]

Sorry, this is the best I can do unless they allow me to have HD quality like my Patti LaBelle performance.

[SLICKDSM]

OH,Ok that's fine. I guess I can still kind of hear then. It's fine sir.

[memyself2k]

No offense taken. It's all love for Adriana.

[cosmicviewer477]

She reminds so much of Stephanie Mills in her younger days. They have very similar facial and vocal expressions. Beautiful!

[tariqshabazz]

Late reply from me but I do see similarities with Stephanie Mills though Mills had a stronger voice. What's going on with Adriana now. I haven't been following.

[cosmicviewer477]

Well, she did a couple of albums on an independent label, and her 2004 album release entitled "Nomadic" got heavy air play on LogoTV's "Noah's Arc", their flagship series. In 2005, a friend of mine who is also heavily into Neo-Soul told me that she was doing some small-venue, low-key touring, going back and forth between New York and San Francisco. With that sort of touring, it's mostly locals who ever hear about it. This was back in '05, haven't heard anything about or from her since.

[darcy27]

for those of you who didnt know she is Dizzy Gillespie's god daughter.

[memyself2k]

I learn more each day. She is so fine!

[PoeticSoul79]

love her. . .it was truly a joy to find this video. . .brings back so many good memories

[Skillz2perfect]

Still can believe she didnt blow shame!

[miamiborn]

I love her..she has a great voice and its a shame she gets no air play. She is fantastic, just like her mother..Mz. Mary Stallings, the beautiful jazz songstress. If you listen to her mother, you'd know why she was so talented, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

[memyself2k]

Never heard of her Mom, but I'm sure she got her talent from someone.

[spaceboogietv1]

Simply lovely....she is so classy and pretty and great voice....this song has always been lovely.

[RFSA88]

One of the most UNDERRRATED singers there has ever been, sometimes I wonder if monkeys are running the music industry.

How is it possible that she is not a massive star? This is evidence that that the industry is sick and dying before our ears...

[memyself2k]

I agree-in fact, I don't think of monkeys but chimps slinging shit. We are being fed shit while Adriana rarely gets any play.

[traceyc]

Love this woman! Have all of her music, but I've never seen this video. Just requested her at BB King's Blues Club & Grill on their website!

[memyself2k]

I'm sure she would be honored.

[ControversialComment]

2:03. That's the part I keep rewinding on. The way the violin plays in is priceless.

[4success1]

I love Adriana Evans, she got a beautiful voice. I had her cd (this one) & a tape too but lost them. Looking to replace them.

I wish she'd do more music

Missing your talent Adriana

The volume is kind of low on this anyway the same vid can be posted with more volume?

[memyself2k]

Sorry, did what I could with this one.

[DUBoomerang]

I cant take to much more of this guys,i have her music,She is one of the most Beautiful females on the Planet!...damm....i said it, i couldnt help it...Just LOOK at her man!

[memyself2k]

U see her body! HOT!!! Sexy without being trashy and can put Beyonce to shame in my opinion.

[DrayDA]

yes sir..she will GET IT!

[rediwhen]

I'm with you 1,,000,000.% on that one!

[jus1brotha]

You know if the music industry would promote real artist like her instead of the "I got 1 good song on my cd" they wouldn't see record sales drop quite as much. Great album,... goes down in my books as one to keep on a desert island.

[memyself2k]

I couldn't agree more.

[erh7771]

WORD!!

[tariqshabazz]

Hard to believe this is over a decade old. Timeless.

[memyself2k]

Yes it is

[decklan2007]

Beautiful song!!! Adriana Evans is such a talented artist!

[memyself2k]

You ain't lying.

[MrSpaceCowboy]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!! I've Got All Her Albums And She Is....Whoa!ÑAM ÑAM!

Thanks For The Video!

[memyself2k]

I know what you mean.

[rediwhen]

What's the titles of her other albums?

[memyself2k]

I honestly don't know. I forgot them, but you can google her.
