With You Lyrics :
I need you boo, (oh)
I gotta see you boo (hey)
And the hearts all over the world tonight,
Said the hearts all over the world tonight
i need you boo, (oh)
I gotta see you boo (hey)
And the hearts all over the world tonight,
Said the hearts all over the world tonight

“I’m talkin’ ’bout things I know,” Mary J. Blige wails on “Work That,” the second single and opening track of Growing Pains. The album squeaked into 2007 too late to make best-of lists but otherwise would have stormed its way up several, for sure. She needn’t have hit us with such a pronouncement: In 16 songs that ring as remarkably, unflinchingly true as those on 2005’s landmark The Breakthrough, the queen of hip-hop soul keeps “keeping it real” a specialty. There’s no sense in trying to assign credit for the skin-tight grooves and funked-up retro vibe here; with nine producers padding Blige’s emotion-rich voice and the lyrics she so obviously lives by, what we’re left with is a melange of sounds. But it’s a measure of an artist who has mastered her own identity and left nothing to chance that this, her eighth studio album, comes off so free of wild cards and loose edges. “You ask what love feels like,” she sings on “What Love Is,” one of the disc’s less fierce tracks. “It feels like joy, and it feels like pain, and it feels like sunshine, and it feels like rain,” she continues, answering the question. The album feels the same way, a passel of complex feelings all wrapped up in love. No one knows struggle, heartache, and triumph over mediocrity like Blige.

Here is another typical Lenny release. It’s amazing how he manages to keep doing the same stuff over and over again throughout the years and yet keeps his music interesting and refreshing to ears. At least to my ears.
“It Is Time For a Love Revolution” is a great successor to all of his previous albums. “Love Revolution” and “Bring It On” are powerful openers. “I’ll Be Waiting”, “This Moment Is All There Is” and “A New Door” are truly the ballads that a Lenny’s record couldn’t miss. “Dancin’ Till Dawn” has a beautiful saxophone solo in the very end. Lyrically speaking, it seems that “A Long and Sad Goodbye”, “I Want To Go Home” and “Uncharted Terrain” (this last one available on iTunes only, apparently) are about personal issues.
