Friends,
Crush by (the now defunct) Zhane is the most beautiful thing I had completely
forgotten about.

My friend
Ambi recorded 25 seconds of the chorus from the radio a few nights ago, and
sent it on whatsapp with the words, “remember this?” The flood of
emotion that washed over me on hearing those notes for the first time in almost
15 years… man.

From their
final album, Saturday Nights, Crush is about love and trepidation. And
this song captures all of it perfectly. We've all been there. You dig a human,
you think the human might dig you back but you really can’t be sure. It’s the
strangest, most excruciatingly sweet sensation. The angst of it all is tinged with
the warmth of the epic heart boner you have, whenever you see this person.

Accompanied
with stunning visuals (which seemed to be a thing about Saturday Nights, check
this other one out ) crush is a definite classic that reminds us of the supremely
underrated talent that was Zhane.
So much
great forgotten shit from the 90s man, don't you think?

ReplyDeleteI found this "The 90s R&B Group Pyramid of Excellence" that you will like (if you haven't seen it already). http://www.complex.com/music/2014/06/90s-female-r-and-b-group-pyramid-of-excellence
Thanks a bunch for this Vay! Very cool. I haven't even heard of some of these groups. And SWV's "Rain" is a winner. One of those rare songs that are a hit but never quite loose their flavour :)
