Rell – The Remedy (CD Sampler) was issued on CD in a cardboard sleeve by Roc-A-Fella, Elektra, and EastWest in 2001. DJ Clue hosted this sampler. Mike City produced a majority of the songs on this sampler. The sampler was a given away at an event in the year of 2001 held in New York State. 7 of the songs on this sampler are snippets. The songs that did not make the final cut for The Remedy album were Darlin and Mind Right. Those songs can be found on this sampler and elsewhere.
Bring It On Home is a killer slow track laced and graced with Rell’s vocals. The song also has a holy vibe due to the organ that is used.
Rell has the candles lit for a romantic night placed next to a bottle of yellow champagne in a bucket of ice. Rell tells this girl he can be the freak that she likes. He keeps it low-key like a real player should. He asks her to bring it home. There’s no sense in them wasting time. He’s got what she wants. She’s all that Rell needs.
A minute into the song is where Rell brings it on home with his soulful vocals. An organ used in the background takes this song into church.
Say It Ain't So is a heartbreaking song about how Rell’s lover became a totally different person. The song Say It Ain't So is a tale of heartbreak, sadness, and betrayal. Say It Ain't So was produced by North Carolina producer Mike City.
All of this time Rell thought he was the only one that mattered to her. He was so convinced that they were headed in the right direction. Now it’s as if she were a totally different person. It’s as if she were someone else. She changed like the weather changes. Her kisses are cold as a winter freeze in Alaska.
Rell explains mysterious calls he has been receiving. There’s been so many different numbers. She never knew about the notes he found on the windshield of her car. Is this the kind of thanks he gets for loving her the way he did? Rell loved her faithfully. He tells her to keep her phony smiles. Her heart has been missing for a while. The picture has never been clearer.
Darlin was a slow jam written and performed by Rell in 1998 for his debut album The Remedy. However the song was scrapped because producers felt that slow jams were outdated. So Darlin did not make the final cut of The Remedy album. DJ Clue hosted this song. The song appeared on the album DJ Clue - The Mixtape.
I rate this sampler 5/5*****!!
