from the album Finally

(September 23, 1991)

 

"Finally" is the 1991 debut single by American musician CeCe Peniston from her debut album, Finally. When asked about the song in a 2012 interview, Peniston said:

 

Quote

It was actually a poem that I had turned into a song, and it was the very first song that I had written. I was doing backup for someone else, and they asked if I had something else and I was like yeah, something I’ve written, and I didn’t know if they’d like it. You know, you don’t really understand your gifts at that point, so when he said I have a hit, I was just like okay. At the time I didn’t understand what it means to have a number one song, I really had no idea. They said you have a hit on your hands and you’re going to have to go to Europe. All of a sudden I was traveling the world, one show turned into two, that little girl from Arizona was going everywhere! You know, I had been here and there, a couple of trips, but nothing at all like this. It was overwhelming.

It's after a row. Quite bleak."

What an amazing thing it must be like to love someone so much that you give up everything to be with them.' That's a pretty heavy thought."

I discovered Finally through Rupaul's Drag Race and i thought it was a song from the 80s :skull: Kinda realized that some of early 90s tracks still heavily sounds like classic 80s bop. Truly the transition era :clap3:

 

"i was never into justify my love" That's definitely an unpopular opinion :clap3:but that era was such a moment and making those conservatives clutching their pearls. The original WAP did that ddd

It was back to Pot Noodles after that."

"Gangsta's Paradise" is a song by American rapper Coolio, featuring singer L.V. The song was released on Coolio's album of the same name, as well as the soundtrack for the 1995 film Dangerous Minds. It samples the chorus and instrumentation of Stevie Wonder's 1976 song "Pastime Paradise".

 

Due to the sampling of Stevie Wonder's music, "Gangsta's Paradise" is one of the few Coolio tracks that does not contain any profanity, as Wonder himself would not allow it. Coolio said, "I had a few vulgarities...and he wasn't with that. So I changed it. Once he heard it, he thought it was incredible."

from the album Jagged Little Pill

(July 7, 1995)

 

"You Oughta Know" is a song by Canadian singer Alanis Morissette, released as the lead single from her third studio album, Jagged Little Pill. The song was the first released track that saw Morissette's departure from bubblegum pop to the alternative rock sound she was later known for. Morissette stated that she wrote the song from her "subconscious": "I wasn't aware of what was coming out of me. I'd go into the booth when the ink wasn't even dry and sing. I'd listen the next day and not really remember it."

 

She has never publicly identified a person as the ex-boyfriend portrayed in the song. In 2008, she said: "Well, I've never talked about who my songs were about and I won't, because when I write them they're written for the sake of personal expression. So with all due respect to whoever may see themselves in my songs, and it happens all the time, I never really comment on it because I write these songs for myself, not other people."

Crow, however, has refused to say who the song was about, telling Billboard Magazine on the release of her album, "Oh, there will be just so much speculation, and because of that there's great safety and protection in the fact that people will be guessing so many different people and I'm the only person who will ever really know. I'm really private about who I've had relationships with, and I don't talk about them in the press. I don't even really talk about them with the people around me."

nnn my parents always mention him being gay and how weird for them to listen to his music but they still did anyway :toofunny3: What a mess 

 

Oh yes IP is still her magnum opus until this. Catch the MF tea on that!

 

I discovered Finally through Rupaul's Drag Race and i thought it was a song from the 80s :skull: Kinda realized that some of early 90s tracks still heavily sounds like classic 80s bop. Truly the transition era :clap3:

 

"i was never into justify my love" That's definitely an unpopular opinion :clap3:but that era was such a moment and making those conservatives clutching their pearls. The original WAP did that ddd 

i never understood, even for the homophobes, why they wouldn't listen to someone's music just because they're gay :skull: 

 

Disco is her magnum opus :eli: 

 

oh mess, I'm not into drag race :skull: 

i'd say erotica was the original WAP, it's way riskier and better :eli:

you oughta know :clap3: 

Because it is too uncomfortable for them because they know that the song is talking about the intrerest of the artist to the same sex especially if the artist singing about love songs. It's kinda pathetic because in my whole my favorite artists are mostly cis straight people talking about the love of their opposite sex and i'm okay with it :skull:

 

"i'd say erotica was the original WAP, it's way riskier and better :eli:" umm that's tea actually :clap3:

 

I ctaully i didn't know Waterfalls is about that topic too until few years ago even though the MV is pretty telling but i didn't really pay attention to it ahjfkak

 

I Want It That Way is iconic in cheesy way ddd. it is one the peak of early 90s Boyband :clap3:

 

Alannah Myles is one-hit wonder back in ealry 90s. Black Velvet is actually one of my mom's favorite song :jonny5:

 

First time i listened to Torn when i was in middle school and i was shocked that it was released in the 90s because i though that it sounds so current at the time :clap3:
