Wow I never heard this song before it sounds pretty good, much respect to dalvin and d-swing btw make sure u guys check out my music, if u like it plz subscribe =')
Devante is the one harmonizing with himself starting 1:56 with the "darling I will, sugar I will. Honey I will". Listen closely. Not bad. And you know can tell it was him who arranged all those beautiful Jodeci harmonies!
He doesn't sound that bad, Dalvin's voice is a lot deeper than I expected. Only thing is that he sounds like he's straining too much. If he just relaxed his vocals instead of singing it so hard for the whole sound it would have been better.
Dalvin's voice isn't THAT bad, but he sounds tired and the overall production on this song is shitty, for real. KC and Jojo probably ended up sounding better as a result of being Jodeci's main vocalists for so, so long. Dalvin and Devante hanging in the background all that time maybe left their voices a bit dull. IDK, just my theory.
i bought this album back in april of 2000, always been a big jodeci supporter. Must admit i was a little disappointed in this track compared to all the tim and bob tracks on the album. But it has growing quality 11 years later, not D's best work by far. But his beats are ahead of there time. you can be a loyal Jodeci fan all you want, at some point you gotta be honest with yourself and say yo he or they dropped the ball on this one. JUST SAYIN'
@starjustice1980 See,u keepin it honest.. they did drop the ball on this.I heard way back then K ci & jo jo didnt like that they were the lead vocalists,but Devante was gettin the most money, that was because he was doing the production,but they still were tight bout that.Static Major(rip) was speakin on that.1nce the Haileys broke away it was a wrap 4 Jodeci cause the Degrates dont have strong solo voices,they just sound good harmonizin & it showed on this album.Even that Gin n Juice was trash!
Dalvin in all your interviews you seemed like a humble dude so i wont go in,but i will say that you and your bro got that off pimping the ugly but more vocally powerful half of the group....damn!
as a loyal jodeci fan i love this joint, y compare him to jodeci as a group? the music is good the vocals is nothin short of jodeci the vocal howbeith not execptional was on point
that " off drum beat " alone got me curious! like wtf yall aint heard a drum beat like that, t took me 16 bars before it stopped sounding like a big fuk up... Dalvin is a drummer though
this banging!if u dont like it then get the fuk off here cus u will know in the 1st 30 secs if u like it or not so after that get the hell off here or listin it makes no sense to stick around to something u dont like after 30 secs!
I LIKE IT! hands down the insrtumentation is very good, as a musician i can appreciate what,s tryin, to be achieved here, it,s very brave but nessasary as a growing artist to do different things, it,s hard to follow on from great vocalists like kc and jojo, don,t judge the brother on that, judge him on his own.
He don't even sound rite thats why his ass stayed in the background becuz he can't sing worth a damn!!!Lmao But him and his bro brought the sexy and Kci and JoJo brought the vocals
Alright....I always wondered if Dalvin and DeVante could sing....now I know.... HELL TO THE NO...I should fuck him up for this...Just come out with a new Jodeci Album...Guess they are too busy getting high...have u seen those dudes latley...they look fucked up...oh hell no is there a Devonte "Talk over" with fake Kci and Jojo Background vocals lmfao
oh shut the fuck up.... You dumb fuck he sounds just fine on the song.... You are the crackhead who needs help... Stop talking reckless b's on people you don't know...
folks jus dnt kno thats y k ci and jo jo aint doing good it was a balance dalvin and devante wrote an produce an sung on the track k ci and jo jo jus gt high and sung .. whr is k ci an jo jo nah lol they all need each other like the north south east and west are need 2 make a full circle
@AwholeNewCi listen cant believe you guys talk about artists like this when they go through changes. Beauty is only skin deep. what if they look like that now to see the real fans they got and when they come back looking good ya feel stupid. respect their works and bypass looks. have yall seen the new ooogleee looking artists now a days atleast back then we had attractive bad ass singers now their either kiddy cute or fruity cute...
there's one song on jodeci's "the show the after party the hotel" he produced, where u can hear him singing the lead, it's "fun 2nite" 1st verse. actually 2 of my favorites songs on this (perfect) album were produced by dalvin (s-more & fun 2nite) he sure got producer talents... except for himself maybe lol. thanks to d-swing for this1 btw dalvin did some really good remixes of jodeci's songs... don't ya'll fogert that the remix of freak n u with ghostface and raekwon is made by dalvin...
@jdsowa I Will Say The Song Is Good But Being Like You Said Devante Could Have Gave His Brother Better Production Then This...It Sounds Like A Leftover Unused Ginuwine Beat From The Basement Days...But I Take Back What I Said On Dalvin's Singing His Voice Ain't The Strongest But It's Unique
people saying how weird his drums are but, people have to understand he is a drummer so I guess he wanted to have his drum in the for front. what better way to do that then to have different drums. His drums is even mixed louder
lol. Took me a min on this one. I was like, whats with the drums? lol. but, its one of those old, motown, 3/4th type patterns. But, he kills me when he says, "she dont even look all that good to me...". LOL
This is what I mean..he shouldve released something else off the cd 1st instead of"Why cant we", he got alot of good stuff on this cd....lol..DeVante a fool, did yall hear him when he says- You know to me, you dont even look all that good!...Gotta luv DeVante..lol..FACT- Him and Mr. Dalvin sooo damn fine...
If u listen you can hear Devante's falsetto adlibs in the background the backgrd vox is the other half of Jodeci so u can see that Dalvin and Devante were responsible for a lot of the vocal arrangements
Hell, this joint sounds just like some Jodeci shit.
Them 4 dudes really need to get back together. According to Devante, the way they all met was K-ci pulling a gun on Dalvin for dating his girl. If they could get past that to together in the first place, they can get past whatever the problem is now.
they are back together...they just having label problems...thats y they cant release the album...the owed MCA one more album but MCA doesnt exist anymore, so it some legal problems there
Now my appetite is really wet for some Jodeci music.
I hope they don't disappoint. If they come back wack, it's better not to come back. End up looking like Jordan with the Wizards, or worst Sugar Ray Lenard getting his ass knocked out repeatedly, or the "Golden Boy" not even coming out the corner in his last bout.
Thank you man..3/4 time beats were mainly used by Devante' throughout all Jodeci songs...Timbland picked it up from Devante. Thats what Timbaland used on ginuwines "So Anxious". Go listen. Then you all will understand.
yo jodeci was the shit but sorry Dalvin, we all knew you couldn't sing. We all knew that K-ci was the man, JoJo had his moments but was often off key and straining, and Devante did the production and kept the ladies panties wet.
dalvin did do producing on the last two albums and with other artist he did that bomb ass remix with sista ft static major "brand new" and alot of people say that one was better than the orginal...soo please don't leave him out jodeci would quite be jodeci without dalvin as the same for k-ci, jojo, orrr DeVante...!
