jagged edge is back and stronger than ever. after waiting patiently for more than two years for something new from this southern quartet, i can honestly say that i am impressed that they have returned to their strong sexy love ballad roots .... after purchasing their last album " jagged little thrill" i was disappointed that there werent more standout ballads that they are known for, the kind of ballads that made me feel like i was back in the 90's and listening to Jodeci's "cry for you". thats right...but i digress, back to the review...
this song is a slow seductive ballad about losing the love of your life and wanting to get the feeling back. yeah, i know, nothing new there, but jagged edge just sings it so well that you can literally FEEL their heartache.
"I'm rolling down a lonely highway,
asking God to please forgive me
For messing up the blessing he gave to me, I see
Everything clearer now
The nights as black as black as it's ever been,
without my girl I'm losing
And I pray that he just sheds his grace on me
I need just to be back with my baby"
wow....they put their heart and soul into the lyrics of this song and it shows in their delivery. its incredible how these 4 guys can evoke so many feelings from their listeners....If this single is an indication of whats to come on the album, then i'm headed to the store ASAP....
When I first heard "Walked Outta Heaven", the first song that came to mind was "Let's Get Married", another Jagged Edge song. Sounds similar but it still works. I like seeing that Jagged Edge has stuck with the same formula that their fans all know them for instead of trying to hop on bandwagons trying to sound like something they're not. Bottom line: Nice sweet song. Don't know about that "Girls Gone Wild" song though.
What else can I say? True to JE form; absolutely beautiful!!! I can't wait until the cd drops!!
