if SWV and KUT KLOSE woulda/would team up together in a song, yo they would do mega damage and shut everybody down. ESPECIALLY with the lead voices of Coko and Athena Cage and they groups off the wall harmonizin. They'd make ppl not wanna sing no more..they need to make that happen like now :)
Excellent song! Nice to hear Leelee emerging from the background to do her thing on the ad libs after the instrumental break. The credits say this song samples Maria Muldaur's 1974 single "Midnight at the Oasis," but I've never been able to hear it. I guess it's used subtly or slowed down beyond recognition. Anyway, it has always sounded to me like it could have been inspired by the Beatles' 1969 hit "Something."
Somebody had the nerve to ask me "what so special about that song"? As I listened to it just now and I almost lost my mind -lol!!! I said what??? First of all the sample, and/or the loop Pharrell used was ridiculous & the beat still bangs to this day. The melody was simple yet creatively clever! As stated before, this joint was slept on but is plain & simply timeless & classic!!!
@capitalcity2000 truer words were never, ever spoken (or typed). i was surprised that they never released this. this joint is TIMELESS. it's still hot some 13 years later. good lord.
I Love this song SOOOOO much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Like, I really love SWV!!!!!!!!!!Why wasn't this song on the TOP 100 R&B hits of 1996?!!!! If i could sang, I'd redo this song for 2010. lmbo....but no one has a voice like Coko, and can create such a harmony as SWV!!!!!
Tracks such as this one definitely have little resemblance to what would become the Neptunes' distinctive sound. Al tough the kicks and open hats in this song sound like that.
Anyone know the sample at the beginning? I believe this is WAY b4 chad started playing guitar...at least this well.....so I'm assuming that it's a sample during Chorus
1996! Sigh, i miss my college years- this album really makes me think back. i loved this album but hated that it wasn't as successful as it could've been, Perhaps R&B was evolving into that sexy, sleek appeal and they quickly released Release SOme Tension- I dunno.
The Neptunes has hands down the best arrangement ive ever their, their baselines are smooth, their bridges are second 2 none, the instrument arrangement is perfect, i also love the Neptunes earlier work cause their drums where very boom bap with the jazz meliodies, just classic work..
This song reminds me when I had the BIGGEST HANGOVER eva...... 1997,,, U.S.M.C. I layed on the couch the WHOLE sunday!!!!! had this song on repeat!!!!! I had 2 go 2 work sunday at midnite,,,, AND STILL COULDN'T MAKE IT!!!! I thought I wuz gonna DIE!!!!!!!!1
WOW... you went back SO many months ago... schmuck. how do you figure that the neptunes have all of those cool sounds? how do you figure Chad is referred to as a "one-man band"??? Pharrell may have the ideas, but Chad finishes them.
dnt lie, they sampled this tune?!! i'm sure chad can play it, i just tried playin it earlier on piano, emulated it perfectly....its not like neptunes to sample a melody...
did you guys hear..? SWV IS BACK..! LOOK UP CO-SIGN LYRICS..ALBUM DROPS ON APRIL 14, 2012..!
