Fantasize
(L to R) Natalie Stewart (Floacist) and Marsha Ambrosius(Songstress) realeased their new album, Flo'Ology, November 8, 2005.
Yesterday I went on a shopping spree, a needed stress reliever. It's an escape from reality. Some people drink or smoke crack, I shop...I love shopping--even if it results in brokeness. I'm not a full fledge adult yet, so I still have time to be irresponsible, right? O Well....
Among the things I bought was Floetry's new album, Flo'Ology. I'm glad I bought it, because again the powerhouse duo of Natalie Stewart (Floacist) and Marsha Ambrosius (Songtress) teamed up to create something beautiful. Their music ties together art forms that I love, spoken word , R&B , and a little bit of hip hop for ya. I'm really feelin this new CD, not quite as much as the first one [Floetic, 2002], but I probably just need to spend more time with it. I mean their first single features my favorite MC, Common--which guarantees that I'm gonna love it.:)
So as I'm walking from store to store in The Gallery, Philly's ghetto version of a mall, I remembered a song that I love by Floetry. I heard it on the Floacism Live DVD and apparently they perform it at every show they have, which I have yet to experience :(. The song is called "Fantasize." ( I don't want to encourage pirating--- but if you can download this song, I highly reccomend it) Marsha belts out the hooks over and over with Natalie backing her up with her bass-like flows. I mean the song is acapella, but the way they come together it sounds like there are instruments being used.
The reason this song is so special to me is because I can relate to the content. The chorus goes as follows :
I fantasize about you
Said everyday and
I want to do
Just everything, baby
Said everything--IIII (repeat)
Under the humming of the chorus, Natalie spits about the feeling of the beginnings in love or infatuation, whatever it may be. It's that time when you first meet someone that you are really feelin and for some reason you can't stop thinking about them. You care for them more and more everyday. She talks about the silly fantasies she has of running through the park holding hands as well as the real sexual fantasies. She even touches on those long phone conversations talking about "nothing in every way possible for hours and hours and hours and hours...." I know you can all relate to that one. Fantasize is really speakin to me right now. Can you guys relate? Speak to me.

I'm not a shopaholic but I do buy a CD every two weeks atleast it seems. My mother did suggest that I add amazon.com to my blocked sites list. Your post made me whip out the Floetry DvD, and I must admit "Fantasize" is on point. And it got me to thinking. Who do I fantasize about? LoL, how many characters do these little boxes hold. Then it made me think back to something Usher said, "Maybe I'm just in love with the concept of being in love." Now there's a thought.
Usher may have a point there...thanks for the comment Chris!
Floetry is hot, can you burn me the new one?
Fantasy is sometimes the only thing that can keep us up from our drab, everyday lives. As long as fantasy doesn't become destructive, what's wrong with it, you smell me?
