    I saw her live and the theater was so quiet you could have heard a pin drop; we almost held our breath to ensure we heard every note of her angelic voice.

    OMGGG so I was in a music discovery mood & told my Alexa speaker to play “afro jazz” not knowing if it was an actual genre, and then this song came on. Subsequently listened to her whole album. THIS IS EXACTLY THE VIBE OF MUSIC I’VE BEEN YEARNING FOR. Afro instrumentals at a slower tempo. The lyrics on top & her voice are just *chef’s kiss* This song just oozes black tenderness, black love, and black intimacy.

Love, love this song, but my favorite is the one closed the show with - and took everyone's breath away. Amazing!
