This seductive R&B jam came out in 2002. 

 

 

Backstory: It samples some Middle Eastern or Indian song. They forgot to clear the sample and she got sued for $500 million, which ended her career. Lettuce honor her for sacrificing her career to give us bop.

I still have this song on my phone. I downloaded it a long time ago and still listen to it from time to time. I’d wondered what ever happened to her. Didn’t know she was sued 

Absolutely brilliant. She truly appropriATE. I'm surprised I haven't heard this song until this week it deserves better recurrent airplay. The beat is fire, and she has such a strong voice (pretty too) - do you guys recommend any other songs from her? We need Todd in the Shadows to cover her on One Hit Wonderland

She should have titled the song "Contagious" tho.

$500 million (especially almost 25 years ago) is an absolute SCAM tho, how was that allowed ... and how did the producer DJ Quik not try to avoid that from happening smh? 🙃

Her sophomore was enjoyable too.
