After hearing the whole thing I changed my opinion a little. There are parts of it I like but others that bother me. I still don't like the bass part.

I've been listening to it more and more over the past day and played it for some friends who had either never heard of Vanessa or only knew ATM, and the reaction was 100% positive.  I can still see both sides of the argument that while it's a good song it might not be a commercial success.  But, having been a fan for so long I respect Vanessa more for staying true to herself than pandering to the mainstream audience of MTV, etc.  I'm just excited to hear new music, period.

I love the drums.  I think the drums pull in a different type of listener than Vanessa's core audience.  But, there's still the bridge which is very "typical Vanessa."  The juxtaposition of the two is pretty fantastic.  We can never predict what popular radio will love, but I think this stands a very good chance of being a hit.  I'll be waiting with bated breath for the release...

I like the drum work (just the drum set part not the synthesized reggae beat part). I think it's very sophisticated but still not on par with the drum work on ATM. A lot of people don't notice this, but the drum work on ATM is very complex almost like it has a different line that complements the movement of the song. I think the drums in ATM were definitely what really turned me on to the song... that perfect marriage of percussion and melody. To this day, I still think the drummer on ATM is the PERFECT example of a great pop rock percussionist who knows how to move a song forward. Still haven't found any song to match up with it.

The drums on nolita on the other hand is nothing special but I would say it does fulfill its function satisfactorally in the song. It's pleasant but not impressive, which is good because it doesn't need to be impressive to make the song great.

That is a really great video, except that is not Nolita!  It's San Francisco.  I should know I walk past that pointy building almost everyday.

I love the drum mix but I'm kind of feeling errrr over the whole "Well, Stevie knows and I thnak her so" part. It's just...bah. The record deal part is fine, but when she mentions Stevie, I just go...okay....

But I love the song and hopefully it does very well. Way to go, Carlton!!

[VaderDawsn]

The more I hear this song, the more I enjoy it.  I think this song will do well on radio. The hard part is getting it played on the radio.
Different strokes for different folks!

Thanks for posting!! I LOVE it! The photography is incredible - it fits the song so well! It's too bad that they are apparently from San Fran instead of Nolita but they still get the message across. If you haven't seen it, you should take a look.

At least the Murder Inc people seem to be more responsive than us over here as a whole. Haha.

Yeah, they might not even know what Nolita is...?

I don't know, hahaha...it's still a nice vid.

Yeah, that's why I decided to post it. I must say I was sitting here cracking up!  :roflmao:

....but of course in a good way - I'm really glad they like it and aren't blasting Irv for signing V.

You'd really be surprised as to how open minded people can be that you wouldn't necessarily expect to be. Unlike others who won't be mentioned. lol
