Former American Idol contestant Lucky Daye may have been eliminated after reaching the Top 20 in Season 4. However, he’s steadily built a name for himself in R&B music. He has released two albums and three EPs and received accolades from Billboard, Complex, and other music publications, making him a notable presence in the music industry.
His music has charted on the Billboard 200 and Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts, and he collaborated with several notable artists.
For his latest release, Lucky provided the lead single to The Original Motion Picture “Magic Mike’s Last Dance.” In the song, Lucky Daye tells us to be careful what we wish for.
This song warns the listener not to allow themselves to get “carried away” and that they may do something they regret later. The chorus emphasizes this caution by warning the person to be careful what they wish for because they may not like the outcome. The singer also makes it clear that they have the power to take the person they’re singing to on a journey that they won’t forget. Ultimately, the song is a warning to take caution and think before acting.
Having seen the film, I can see how it ties into its storyline. Hopefully, Mr. Daye is cooking up a tour for 2023, as I envision this song coming over great in concert with his female fans.
Final Grade: B+
“Careful” is available on all streaming platforms
One of the great things about buying a soundtrack when I was in my DJ prime was discovering a slow jam that I could put on my mix CDs. For this week’s Slow Jam Saturday, I wanted to highlight one of the songs: Jagged Edge’s cover of Air Supply’s, “All Out of Love.”
After twenty-six years in the game, Atlanta-based quartet Jagged Edge is currently on the road celebrating the anniversary of their magnum opus sophomore album, “J.E. Heartbreak,” with a tour titled “An Intimate Evening With Jagged Edge.” To kick off our seventh wedding anniversary celebration, my wife and I will be the D.C. date on the tour this coming Wednesday.
For this week’s Second Listen Sunday, I wanted to travel back to 1999 and show some love to R&B group Amyth, which was initially signed to LL Cool J Rock the Bells Records. Hailing from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, the group was formed in 1995 while the members were students at Southern University.
