This is Michael Mixerr. Today I will talk about the Elektric Blue Album Sampler by Nicole Wray. This album sampler was released in 2001 on CD by Elektra Records under Missy Elliott's Goldmind Inc. label and Warner Music Group too as well.
The songs are I'm Lookin', Wanna Cruise, Bangin' (Don't Lie) with Prodigy of Mobb Deep and Missy Elliott, Mama Used To Say (No Joke) with Redman and Missy Elliott, and Talk With Time. However some of the songs on the Elektric Blue album sampler are only 1 minute a piece as they are snippets except for Bangin’. The Elektric Blue Album Sampler comes with a total of 5 songs minus the intro along with the intermissions.
I'm Lookin' is a late night love song. You might have remember seeing the music video for this song on Midnight Love on BET back in 2001. I'm Lookin' is one of those late night cruise songs. DJ Eddie F produced I’m Lookin’.
Nicole Wray is looking for someone to love and hold on to. She’s looking for you. She’s looking for someone she can trust. But she has not someone for herself truly for her. Nicole wants to be like everyone else who’s dating. Well, Nicole wonders if she’ll ever be complete.
Wanna Cruise is one of those late night cruise songs. A song that you can cruise to when you're in your car cruising down the highway late at night. Late at night would be the best! Timbaland and Harold Lilly both had produced this long extensive masterpiece of a song while Nicole Wray composed its entirety. DJ Eddie F produced I’m Lookin’ and Wanna Cruise. Wanna Cruise is one of those sultry ballads along with I’m I’m Lookin’.
Mama Used To Say (No Joke) samples Mama Used To Say by 80's British electronic musician Junior. In fact, Mama Used To Say (No Joke) pays homage and is a tribute to Junior - Mama Used To Say. The song Mama Used To Say (No Joke) has a Rock feel to it. Rockwilder produced this song. This song also features Redman and Missy Elliott. It's one of those old school feel skating rink type of songs as Missy Elliott explained herself on the Elektric Blue album sampler. Mama Used To Say (No Joke) is for all those independent working people out there along with the working class people out there. Stop begging for money from your friends.
The moral to this song is to get a job occupation and get an income. Living life being ‘flat broke’ as in ‘broke as a joke’ is no fun. Stop begging for money from your friends. Stop thinking that life’s a joke. Get up off your ass and do something with yourself because you’ve got to live your life. Don’t live life for no one else. Haters gonna hate.
Talk With Time is a sweet, subtle song great for storybook telling time. It's about her and her boyfriend not getting to see each other because there is not enough time. The clock is ticking in the background. Her brother Kenny Wray is on this song.
Bangin' features Prodigy of Mobb Deep and Missy Elliott. Bangin' is an upbeat fast paced song about a man sleeping with another woman and about what Nicole will do to her main man after the love. Bangin’ has Timbaland’s signature production on it with his usual double drums over fast paced beats. The horn synths in the background were Timbaland and Missy Elliott.
Talk With Time is a sweet, subtle song great for storybook telling time. It's about her and her boyfriend not getting to see each other because there is not enough time every day out the week for them to socialize and be together. The clock is ticking in the background. Harold Lily is on this song right after the first minute passes saying, “I won’t let you down. I love you baby!” Harold Lily produced Talk With Time, Wanna Cruise, and Sweetest.
Out of all the album samplers to come out from Warner Music Group, the Elektric Blue Album Sampler is the most exclusive extensive album sampler to have come out from Warner Music Group next to the Lil Johnny - I Got You Album Sampler. Missy Elliott, Nicole Wray, and the producers put forth great effort for this album.
I rate this album, Elektric Blue Album Sampler, 5/5*****!!
