If you had asked me in 1999 who was new and going to be a big star, I might have said Taja Seville. She’s had a good music career but I don’t think she’d claim she was a big star.
In 1998, this song “I & I” by Seville was released and it struck me as addictive. It’s an ominous sounding tune with spooky lyrics and yet has that late Saturday night bass line when you’re finally home for the night.
Take a look at the lyrics. It’s about self-evaluation and some disdain about what is found.
