The '90s were just so full of good quality music even 'one-hit wonders' like Adriana Evans resonates to this day! She and Lucy Pearl were two of the best 'sleeper hits' of the 90s!
See! the Music Talks for it self (She Didn't have to talk her clothes off) Mega Stylish Video(timeless) Classy-Beautiful Women-Amazing beats-Out of this world Sounding Vocals- I love her - I have all her albums except kismet :-( thank you for Sharing this Video- Many Thanks
This was my jam in high school. Back in 97'. Classic. I have this album. The songs put you in a zone. A relaxing zone that is :) When it comes to love, seeing is believing. Yes, sir!
I only saw this video ONE TIME (when I was in high school in the late 90's) and only a portion of it, but just enough to remember the chorus after all these years (since I loved it that much and it really stuck with me). I AM SO GLAD TO HAVE FOUND THIS!!!
Who's Sade......LOL Really though Adrianne's album came out just before the Puffy Era hit. It didn't help Biggie died the same year. Come to Toronto we trained them well on tracks like this.
Awwww man, dis joint right here made me follow her career up to this very day. Thanks so much for the upload and bringing her to a good forum for people to catch her brilliant flame.
I really like this song,I always thought that Adriana and Sanaa Lathan looked alike.Especially in this particular video.Anybody feel me on this.Either way they are both two beautiful sistas.
i miss midnight love... this was the ish... i remember hearing this in a Las Vegas station on 96 or 97...it was a hit there and i came back to cali and bought the single.... i love this girl.. she was on Pun's still not a player video
I am hoping that the powers that be are reading these latest comments. Maybe then we'll see the full-length vid. When record companies see renewed interest in an artist (in all the different forms that such interest takes), the next thing you know there's a reissued CD, the return of a video to television (in this case, VH-1 Soul), etc. So maybe someone out there will find the "lost," full-length vid for "Seein' Is Believing." Hello???!!!
This is tight! Abbreviated but tight. Thanks for posting it, Souldier77. I think 2010 will be Adriana Evans' (a/k/a Adriana Madera's) year. This stellar artist never really got her due. The reissue a few months back of Nomadic is most def an excellent sign, as is heavy rotation on VH-1 Soul of songs from her impressive 1997 debut LP/CD. Now, YouTube reflecting what the people want, let us all clamor to see this gifted singer perform LIVE wherever love is ... all around.
I still have this video recorded on VHS tape. I love this song. I haven't seen it on VH-1 Soul. Maybe they did play it but I don't have VH1 Soul at my house I catch when I'm at my parents house and watching their extended cable. I might have to upgrade my cable because I don't think I will see videos like that on BET, MTV, or regular VH1.
@datrustarr thats so true i used to love 106 and park now i havent watched it in years i miss free and aj and when bet use to play good music im to young to be saying what ever happend to good music but damn what happend maybe everyone says that when they get older lol
@datrustarr Who you tellin'.....lol. I remember back in the 90's I used to could just keep the TV on BET. My mom would get tired of BET after awhile and be like turn that TV to something else. Now no one couldn't even pay me to watch BET.
I hated "Seeing is believing" by Adriana Evans when i was a teenager. I guess i wasn;t mature enough to appreciate it, because now i love it, and i wish i hadn't pulled all the tape out of my sister's cassette to escape hearing it so much.
i actually ended a relationship with somebody b/c she told me she didn't like her.(that's a true story)and i really cared about this person.i know that's sound's terrible and i didn't do it overnight it was a gradual process.i just recented the fact she didn't give it a chance.turns out we really didn't have alot of thing's in common that difference just magnified everything else.yrs. later she in a car accident and the name of the other victim was adriana evans.
Hey Tro my name is Justo and I used to date ADriana Evans! back in 1984. I have the prom picture to prove it! She was the finest girlfriend I ever had! Then after 9 months she dumped me. I guess thats the way it goes in high school. I rember she use to sing to me oh the memories!
Whaaaaaahhh!!!??? huh? I don't even know who this woman is...but I dig her bad already. She's fine as hell, has a cool mode and can sing??? I must have been high when she came out...damn!
Representin'Frisco to tha Fullest... Yo Adriana I'm a Fillmore and Haight dweller. Come out to the sco I'll take you on the bestest most expensive date EVER;) lol
This is a quality tune that did not REALLY even get the recognition it deserved at the time it was released. I think it got lost in the general Erykah, Maxwell, Davina, Eric Benet etc Nu soul wave@ the time. Shame because it's classic without a doubt!
ADRIANA Brought NEO-SOUL B4 There WAS NEO-SOUL & I KNOW Thats RIGHT! And, Due 2 Crappy Label Promotions, The ONLY Reason I Had Ever Heard Her Was Flipping Thru TV When I Was Like 16 or 17 & She Was Performing On BET's Teen Summit & Since Then I've Been HOOKED! That Was Almost 10 YEARS AGO! ALICIA KEYS NEEDS 2 Be Paying Some RESPECT 2 This Girl!!! I LOVE U ADRIANA!!!
Yeah Adriana Evans fans. I loved her from her debut in 1997. I am really mad that I had to buy her albums now from the UK. I am going broke from doing that but she is worth it. I wish she would tour!!
This was the album that started it all. Very rarely you buy an album and ALL of the Tracks are HOTT!. This is one of those albums. This years marks to the 10 year Anniversary of this release. And guess what? She has A NEW JOINT OUT! It's called "El Camino" and it's found on the UK Based Record Label, Expansion Records. Visit the website at Expansion Records.
For information on her 2002 and 2004 albums overseas, hit me up.
I remember this song. If more neo-soul artist could make songs like this, I'd probably like neo-soul(just kidding). I think her cd's are available on amazon. This is one of those tracks that take me back, but will still be hot today and hot years from now. Timeless is a single word I can use to describe this track.
I have to disagree with that one. Being a legend doesn't necessarily mean that you're more talented than someone who is not as famous. As far as current champ of Neo-Soul, Lauren doesn't consider herself a Neo-Soul artist to begin with, she doesn't have enough albums out, and I think Jill Scott is the current champ. When you take away everthing else and compare voice alone, then artists like Adriana, Jill Scott, Goapele, and Marsha Ambrosious, are levels above Lauren.
I love Adriana! She is definitely underrated!! BTW, Dred Scott travels with, produces, and describes himself as Adriana's business partner. I sent her an email once inviting her to perform at a show I was giving and Dred was the one who replied back to my email. Both are really cool people!
love this song. i thought i was the only person still alive that actually remebered this artist and song. thanks for uploading. great artist ...she is very under rated....guess b/c she came out at the same time as Erykah badu
Sumbode gotta fight that bull

I have to disagree with that one. Being a legend doesn't necessarily mean that you're more talented than someone who is not as famous. As far as current champ of Neo-Soul, Lauren doesn't consider herself a Neo-Soul artist to begin with, she doesn't have enough albums out, and I think Jill Scott is the current champ. When you take away everthing else and compare voice alone, then artists like Adriana, Jill Scott, Goapele, and Marsha Ambrosious, are levels above Lauren.
