about

Beat make, Shash'U from Fool's Gold joins me on this nostalgic "LA in the 90's" love ballad. We are both originally from Montreal, and "88" was an opportunity to connect my Harlem living with that Montreal-funk feel.

The story depicts a deep romance between myself and a skater-boy. While he's skating up and down Lenox Street, I daydream about experiencing his magic for a short-lived moment.

It's a sultry, sexy and powerful hymn to summer romances.

LYRICS

When we slow dance
When we romance
My mind be wondering in places I been

You are some kinda special
I see by the way you carry yourself
You are some kinda rebel
I see by the way you look at me
You gotta behave, baby

Cause I could lose myself
In this magical spiral of lust
Oh, I could truly, truly lose myself
When you light my body, baby
When you slow dancing on me

Skating up and down Lenox Street
Uptown vibes is what I need
Kiss me on my neck, pretty please
Summer nights high is what I feel

Skating up and down Lenox Street
Uptown vibes is what I need
Kiss me on my neck, pretty please
Summer nights high is what I feel
Oh, oh na, na, na
What I feel, what I feel, yeah

We are some kind of magic
You descending from the sky
And I’m climbing up your tree
We are some kind of wicked
When you hurt me with your touch
And I’m floating up above

Cause I could lose myself
With this smoking gun of lust
Oh, I could truly, truly lose myself
When you shoot at me, baby
When you kill me gently, oh

Skating up and down Lenox Street
Uptown vibes is what I need
Kiss me on my neck, pretty please
Summer nights high is what I feel

Skating up and down Lenox Street
Uptown vibes is what I need
Kiss me on my neck, pretty please
Pretty please, pretty please, pretty please

Don’t make me open up that door, no no
Just sex me slowly on the floor
Don’t bang on that door no, no, no, no more
Just undress me, what you waiting for

Skating up and down Lenox Street
Uptown vibes is what I need
Kiss me on my neck, pretty please
Summer nights high is what I feel

Skating up and down Lenox Street
Uptown vibes is what I need
Kiss me on my neck, pretty please
Summer nights high is what I feel

When we slow dance
When we romance
My mind be wondering in places I been

When we slow dance
When we romance
My mind be wondering in places I been

When we slow dance
When we romance
My mind be wondering in places I been
Places I been, places I been, place I been

When we slow dance
When we romance
My mind be wondering in places I been
