Light Your Phones Up

From Jernade Miah, London-based UK Desi artist with pop, R&B, urban and hip hop influences:



If you ever been in love before,
let me tell you how it goes:
it hits you like a tidal wave.
Before you know it you're swept away.

You walk, you run, you fall,
get up and brush it off.
You win, you lose,
in time you choose
the one you risk it all
for, all for.
Could it be you?
It's gotta be you, oh.

(Chorus)
So light your phones up, if you love somebody,
I mean if you really love somebody,
let me see your hands in the air right now,
you could show the world that you care right now, oh.
If you love somebody,
I mean if you really love somebody,
let me see your hands in the air right now,
light your phones up if you care right now, oh.
So light your phones up, oh, oh, oh, yeah.

I can get you through your darkest nights,
always be by your side,
I know it gets hard at times,
wish I had the answers why.
If your back's against the wall
and you think you lost it all,
just turn your head
and I'll be there to catch you when you fall, fall.
Could it be you?
It's gotta be you, oh.

[Chorus]

I'm reaching out to hearts tonight,
from city streets to countrysides,
wherever you are, I'll never be far.

[Chorus]

One More Dance

One More Dance by Mumzy Stranger, produced by Rishi Rich Productions, is fresh and addictive. Definitely worthy of a few listens and views, and a buy on iTunes or elsewhere, this song was a big summer song in the UK, in 2009...

A Super Thanks to RR for the official lyrics, below:


Verse 1
Do you remember the day girl,
When we were dancing away girl,
You never told me your name no,
I can't believe that I let you go,

Bridge

Now I see you again,
thinking this could happen,
Can we take a walk and dance in the rain,
Maybe this is something,
That you just ain’t feeling,
But I got to know...

Chorus

Just gimmi one more dance,
Gimmi one more dance,
Just gimmi one more dance,
Gimmi one more dance,

Verse 2

I got this feeling you want me,
From your eyes I can see that you’re ready,
This could be something amazing,
For you and me what you saying...

Bridge

Now I see you again,
thinking this could happen,
Can we take a walk and dance in the rain,
Maybe this is something,
That you just ain’t feeling,
But I got to know...

Double Chorus

Just gimmi one more dance,
I just want you know girl,
Gimmi one more dance,
Your the one that want girl,
Just gimmi one more dance,
Let's rendezvous ooh girl,
Gimmi one more dance...

The value of this song, and its video, will take you by surprise. It's all in the details. In the song, it's Mumzy's range-y tenor and tender phrasing, the melody's complex percussive quality, the choral arrangement, and the mix, with a bass-supported dance beat running over Asian-inflected digital percussion, that make the difference. In the vid, it's charm of Mumzy and the lady he dances with, the body language and looks, the dancing itself, the camera angles, lighting, special effects, editing, and initial concept on which the video was built. Excellent production values for sound, video and marketing, are part of the Rishi Rich Productions approach.
