I AM...

I am whatever YOU think I am until YOU get to KNOW me. This is true for everyone else too, of course.. so don't make assumptions about anyone or pass judgment; ask questions. You might just make a new friend.

WHEN CAN I SEE YOU?

In late 1993 Babyface, who was at the top of his game as POP/R&B's hottest writer and producer, released his acclaimed solo album For the Cool in You. The album featured four hit singles, those being the title track, "Never Keeping Secrets," "And Our Feelings," and the song that went on to become his signature tune, WHEN CAN I SEE YOU? This song reached #4 on the charts. When I was researching the info on this song, I realized that music have SO much power because it bring such intense emotion of years gone by. When I hear first heard this song I MERELY 16…WOW!!! I guess that’s a classic will ALWAYS be current. What I LOVE about BABYFACE is that he uses his talent to put himself out there, no gimmicks, and no stupid music videos…just pure soul-shattering music. This song is VERY emotional AND raw without being dramatic. I don’t know about what you think, but Usher, Chris Brown and Ne-Yo are a LONG way off from the talent of this man and this song proves that.
