omar / angie stone - stylin



angie stone was in the hot chick! lil missy is always going on about that one scene, in fact i just got her to describe it:

well at first rob schnieder is like, i have to go to the bathroom or i'm going to soak my panties, and that man looks at him, and rob says, 'i mean,.. my girlfriends panties... what? you don't pee in your girlfriends panties? what kind of a gay club is this?'

haha. also i quite liked that song with snoop from a couple years ago what she did, "i wanna thank u", which jazze pha's lazy ass cleverly reused for big's "nasty girl" this year. omar is the veteran of many many brit soul campaigns. he is so old that soul2soul actually wrote "back to life" about him when he had to be revived after a particularly full-on soul weekender. he has many classic songs, such as "theres nothing like this" and "say nothing". his falsetto is positively stellar.

so what i'm saying is this song has quite a pedigree! it also has a big powerful quik-ish grumble vs whine of a beat and two of the silkiest voices intertwining and an angie-led spacedisco style key change at 2:37 which just blows me away and takes the whole song up a level from low-key mp3 banger to endless repeat summer anthem, even if only me and trev will ever think so!
