Amerie. "1 Thing." Touch, SONY BMG MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT, 2002.
Been paying attention this week? This track sound familiar? That's because its producer and songwriter, Rich Harrison, is responsible for yesterday's jam from Beyoncé. I am so in love with that kinetic drum loop sampled from the Meters' "Oh Calcutta!" hailing from back in 1969 and dare I say I might dig this track even more than Queen B's. You can check the dates and see which one came first. Happy Friday, choose your own adventure.
