Just recently the music of Keith Sweat has been introduced to me and I have to say I am totally enthralled. I’ve never been much of a fan of R&B, but his lyrics just speak to my soul. For instance:
I wanna go outside (Go outside)
Baby, baby (In the rain), the rain will wipe my tears
Whoa, whoa, I wanna go outside (I wanna go outside)
I’ve got to go, nowhere to go (In the rain) in the rain, yeah
LYRICAL GOLD.
Even more impressive, I just learned that there is a Keith Sweat McNuggets Lover Club and that he actually wrote a song about McNuggets. Listen here. You have to listen to this; it is a love song about his 25 year love affair with McNuggets. Seriously. If you’re going to sell out, there’s no point in half assing it, yamean? I mean there is even a fan club!!! You can join here.
I realize that Keith Sweat is a departure from my normal playlist of Passion Pit and Dolly Parton, but it’s important to keep an open mind and listen to new artists, especially ones that treat their fans like this:
Also, listening to Keith Sweat will most likely give your ego a boost in regards to both your voice and your ability to write R&B. And I don’t know about you, but that’s exactly why I listen to music in the first place.
Baby, baby, you know
Baby, I love you so
But you don’t feel like I do!
Tell me, what can I do?
Brilliant. We must remember to lock your car doors so that no one will theive your Sweaty CD.
