The key ingredients to this song's success:
1. That wonderfully icy reverb on the cymbal in the beat.2. The chorus, especially when Kelly starts harmonizing with herself.3. The incremental swelling of the song, which starts out very sparse and adds in synth lines and vocal overdubs as it goes along until it turns into a gloriously rapturous beast.
I wish this had caught on as it's better than both "Stole" and "Dilemma".

not feeling it either. thought kelly rowland was into UK funky? she should be getting on that
― lex pretend, Monday, 15 June 2009 16:41 (seventeen years ago)
She makes a pretty good house diva imo.

Yeah agreed.
Guetta is producing the majority of her new album, which will be entirely house/dance-pop... should be good.

this song is great when its sunny and you're driving somewhere and everything feels very spontaneous.

Never thought I'd ever say this in my life, but I'm excited for a Kelly Rowland album.

lolled so hard at her splitting up that girl group on x factor cos only one of them was in the limelight and the rest were making up the numbers

also I totally know what you mean re: 3. those new Rich Harrison songs (the J.Lo and the Amerie) seem to do the same kinda thing: start off very skeletal, but by the last chorus some warm synths have cropped up to highlight the melody.

feel like high fiving myself for saying this before i knew RH had produced it

that is my very favourite harrison trademark move; it was even worth sticking around with some of the wacker richgirl cuts to hear it happen like clockwork.
on j-hud's 'no one gonna love you' as well where he has this tiny bit of thundering cello or whatever briefly turn up round the 3 minute mark.
― r|t|c, Monday, 12 September 2011 13:25 (fourteen years ago)
that seems like a case of "when in doubt, stick with what you know"
ps, the song still pwns
