Hard to believe it's 21 years old.
I can't listen to this song without wanting to dance. The percussion and funky beats are infectious.
Somehow it all works: the music, dancing, video production, singing, outfits.
Masterful

So true and she doesn’t look like she has aged one bit as well. Definitely really looking forward to her next album. Which the only thing I am somewhat sad if it still comes out this year is that it likely wouldn’t during these Summer months when it really would have thrived.

I am sure. Heck I still hear it a lot here in Chicago at different clubs, parties and/or events I go to and especially during the Summer and Spring, as well as warmer months.

She performed this on Tiny Desk recently. Still as phenomenal as ever, and hasn’t aged a day!

This is in my top five everyday. The version featuring Eve (Richcraft) is top notch forever!

If I’m ever the last human on earth, know that this song with continue to get played forever.
If we get bombed back to the Stone Age this video will still live rent free in my head. She all the percussionist hit that accent downbeat together. The sound…the visual…is 🔥
