This song is superb. Early contender for best female vocal performance? I will definitely be buying this album.

genius!

met her when she opened for jamie lidell in los angeles. she was incredible, pitch perfect live.

i was worried about the state of her album because everything at bad boy is in limbo. at least diddy has the sense to continue forward with her even if he abandoned the rest of his roster.
