Sometimes, a slow jam every now and then ain’t bad. R Kelly used to be the master if you ignore all the other stuff. Yeah. He can still hack it on the mic. Though when he and the died way too young Aaliyah teamed up for “At Your Best (You Are Love),” that was great stuff. Aaliyah was awesome. R.I.P.

Chris Brown has that vibe too. His hit song, “With You” is just really special. It seems to get played all the time on Hot 97 and for good reason. The lyrics are good meshing well with the background music. That’s how you get that classic R & B sound. It definitely works.

Guess that’s the kind of mood I’m in. It can’t always be high tempo even for myself.
