"Half Crazy"

Never thought that we would ever be more than friends
Now I'm all confused cause for you I have deeper feelings
We both thought it was cool to cross the line
And I was convinced it would be alright
Now things are strange, nothings the same
And really I just want my friend back

And my mind's gone half crazy cause I can't leave you alone (oh can't get you out of my system)
And I'm wondering if it's worth me holding on (holding on)
Said my mind's gone half crazy cause I can't leave you alone (can't get you out of my system)
And I'm wondering if it's worth me holding on (yeah)

I'd hate walk away from you as if this never existed
Cause when we kissed the moment after I looked at you different
Lately I gotta watch what I say
Cause you take things personally nowadays
You used to laugh now you get mad
Damn I just want my friend back

And my mind's gone half crazy cause I can't leave you alone (oh can't get you out of my system)
And I'm wondering if it's worth me holding on (holding on)
Said my mind's gone half crazy cause I can't leave you alone (can't get you out of my system)
And I'm wondering if it's worth me holding on

Oh oh oh oh oh yeah
What happened to the one I used to know (oh yeah yeah)
The one I used to laugh and joke with
The one I used to tell all my secrets
We used to chill and be down for whatever whenever together yeah

And my mind's gone half crazy (oh) cause I can't leave you alone (I'm going half crazy baby)
And I'm wondering if it's worth me (oh) holding on (over you)
Said my mind's gone half crazy (yeah) cause I can't leave you alone (and I just don't know)
And I'm wondering if it's worth me holding on (said I just don't know what to do now)
We used to chill (yeah) we used to hang
We used to do we used to do so many things together (yeah)

J'ai beaucoup aimé son album la première fois que je l'ai écouté, et à ma grande surprise il est sorti en France. Donc tout ce que je peux dire c'est qu'on est sur la bonne voie contre la segregation musicale, mais il reste encore du chemin.


"Till it happens to you"

I know what I said
was heat of the moment
but theres a little truth in between the words we've spoken
its a little late now to fix the heart thats broken
please dont ask me where i'm going
cuz i dont know
no i dont know anymore

It used to feel like heaven
used to feel like may
I used to hear those violins playing our strings like a symphony
now they've gone away
nobody wants to face the truth
but you wont believe what love can do
till it happens to you
till it happens to you

went to the old flat
guess i was trying to turn the clock back
how come that nothing feels the same now when im with you
we used to stay up all night in the kitchen
when our love was new
oooh love im a fool to believe in you
cuz i dont know
no i dont know
anymore

It used to feel like heaven
It used to feel like may
I used to hear those violins playing our strings like a symphony
now they've gone away
nobody wants to know the truth
until their hearts broken
dont you dare tell them
what you think to do
till they get over
you can only learn these things
from experience
when you get older
I just wish that someone would have told me
till it happpens to you
till it happens to you
till it happens to you

Après une dizaine d'albums, elle sait toujours mieu faire. Durant toute de sa carrière, elle collabore avec les plus grands, de P.Diddy à Nas en passant par Atretha Franklin, Eric Clapton, Elton John ou encore George Micheal avec lequel elle signe la magnifique chanson "As" en hommage à Stevie Wonder. Elle est aujourd'hui de retour avec son nouvel album, The Breakthrough, dont le premier single "Without you" fait un carton, on la retrouve en duo avec Will.i.am des Black Eyed Peas, Raphael Saadiq ou encore U2 avec qui elle reprend "One", superbe!


"Without you"

I wanna be with you, gotta be with you, need to be with you
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
I wanna be with you, gotta be with you, need to be with you
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Oooo (oh, oh, oh, oh) oooo

Chemistry was crazy from the get-go
Neither one of us knew why
We didn't build nothing overnight
Cuz a love like this takes some time
People swore it off as a phase
Said we can't see that
Now from top to bottom
They see that we did that (yes)
It's so true that (yes)
We've been through it (yes)
We got real shit (yes)
See baby we been...

Too strong for too long (and I can't be without you baby)
And I'll be waiting up until you get home (cuz I can't sleep without you baby)
Anybody who's ever loved, ya know just what I feel
Too hard to fake it, nothing can replace it
Call the radio if you just can't be without your baby

I got a question for ya
See I already know the answer
But still I wanna ask you
Would you lie? (no)
Make me cry? (no)
Do somethin' behind my back and then try to cover it up?
Well, neither would I, baby
My love is only your love (yes)
I'll be faithful (yes)
I'm for real (yes)
And with us you'll always know the deal
We've been...

Too strong for too long (and I can't be without you baby)
And I'll be waiting up until you get home (cuz I can't sleep without you baby)
Anybody who's ever loved, ya know just what I feel
Too hard to fake it, nothing can replace it
Call the radio if you just can't be without your baby

See this is real talk
I'm always stay (no matter what)
Good or bad (thick and thin)
Right or wrong (all day everyday)
Now if you're down on love or don't believe
This ain't for you (no, this ain't for you)
And if you got it deep in your heart
And deep down you know that it's true (come on, come on, come on)
Well, let me see you put your hands up (hands up)
Fellas tell your lady she's the one (fellas tell your lady she's the one, oh)
Put your hands up (hands up)
Ladies let him know he's got your love
Look him right in his eyes and tell him
We've been...

Too strong for too long (and I can't be without you baby)
And I'll be waiting up until you get home (cuz I can't sleep without you baby)
Anybody who's ever loved, ya know just what I feel
Too hard to fake it, nothing can replace it
Call the radio if you just can't be without your baby

Heeeeeeeeeeeey Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh (X2)
I wanna be with you, gotta be with you, need to be with you (X5)

Voilà probablement le groupe français que j'apprecie le plus, une imagination et un talent énorme. Je les ai rencontré après un concert, j'ai même eu l'honeur de chanter avec elles sur scène, et ce sont des femmes très simples, engagées et encore plus belles en vrai, donc un grand merci à Célia et Hélène les princesses nubiennes....et merci à Harry et Yann, je vous fais des gros bisous!


"Makeda"

On veut nous faire croire à des mythes perdus
Des passages de l'histoire falsifiés et revus
De Ramses à Mandela, que de vérités tues
En ignorant le départ, on erre sans but

Makeda était reine, belle et puissante
Salomon révait de sa peau noire
Je chante pour raviver les mémoires
Exhumer les connaissances
Que la spirale du temps efface

La reine de Saba vit en moi
Makeda vit en moi.

Ravivons nos mémoires
Il faut changer l'histoire
Elle part à la dérive
A la dérive d'mes maux....Non
Le savoir et la sagesse sont à portée de main
Ecoute et observe

Makeda Ètait reine, belle et puissante
Salomon révait de sa peau noire
Je chante pour raviver les mémoires
Exhumer les connaissances
Que la spirale du temps efface

La reine de Saba vit en moi
Makeda vit en moi.

Mon peuple danse et chante
Il exalte sa joie
Loin de l'ignorance
Il démontre sa foi

Riches d'hommes et de valeurs
Ils réparerons les erreurs
Fils et filles vous et moi
Prêts au combat

Makeda était reine, belle et puissante
Salomon rêvait de sa peau noire
Je chante pour raviver les mémoires
Exhumer les connaissances
Que la spirale du temps efface

La reine de Saba vit en moi
Makeda vit en moi.

Superbe, ça fesait un moment que j'avais pas écouté un son de cette qualité la, après l'album "Blind to Reality" en 2001, voici "State Of Mind" tout ce que je peux vous dire c'est que c'est à écouter sans modération, il y a des super duos, avec en exclu Stevie Wonder.
Dernières news, j'ai vu Raul Midon sur scène, à la fnac, je n'ai pas pu aller au concert au New Morning, il est fantastique, quelle voix et quel talent.


"State Of Mind"

Used to sit and worry about the future
Worrying about the future don't change the past
Used to think that tomorrow would be better
But now I know that I'm doing the best I can
I'm just a man trying to find the reasons why I stand
Took some time to realize that I am what I am
And I wanna be rich, I wanna be happy
And live inside a love that shines bright enough to last a lifetime
I wanna be rich more than a fantasy
Ride the winds and climb, cause it's all a state of mind

Wake up in the morning and I turn the pages
Don't understand what's going down
Everybody's acting so outrageous
It's gonna take a lot of love to turn things around
I'm just a man trying to find the reasons why I stand
Took some time to realize that I am what I am
And I wanna be rich, I wanna be happy
And live inside a love that shines bright enough to last a lifetime
I wanna be rich, more than a fantasy
Ride the winds and climb cause it's all a state of mind

Hear people talk about going to heaven
Grab a little bit of heaven right here on earth
Troubled times lead to healing times
I was sad now I'm feeling fine
It's the taking and the giving that makes this life worth living,
Makes this life worth living
I wanna be rich, I wanna be happy
And live inside a love that shines bright enough to last a lifetime
I wanna be rich, more than a fantasy
Ride the winds and fly,
Spread your wings and fly
Cause its all a state of mind

Ride the winds and climb,
Spread your wings and fly
Cause its all a state of mind
