What's this? A new post two Fridays in a row? I'm on a roll here.
Picking a song to highlight this week was actually pretty difficult. Thanks to a trip down 90s R&B memory lane led by my fellow poster on this blog nobody reads, I was overwhelmed with Darkchild produced tracks to choose from. Should I go with Brandy? Monica? That Tatyana Ali song? So rather than pick one of those, I decided to go with a little late 90s/early 00s female Hip-Hop:
Eve Feat. Faith Evans - "Love is Blind"
Eve sort of fell off after she let her hair grow out and got that show on UPN. Musically, she's spent most of the past six years guesting on other people's records and releasing that annoying as fuck (but totally catchy) "Tambourine" song. Back in '99, she was just breaking out as the "Ruff Ryder's First Lady." While she was running around with DMX, she released this track about getting revenge on a friend's abusive boyfriend. It's a shame that I mostly remember this one as the soundtrack to every 14 year old girl's "troubled" relationship, because it's actually got some powerful lyrics. But you know how it is, shit can get real tough when your boyfriend doesn't call you right after you page him.
