touch me.
August 31, 2009Here it is!!! I know I’ve been delaying somewhat, but here is the first single from my forthcoming album Quiet Storm. The song is called “Touch Me”, and I sincerely hope you enjoy it!
Download it here: Sharebee (includes zshare, Badongo, RapidShare etc.) Let me know if you want me to upload the mp3 to any specific servers and I can do that for y’all 🙂
Stream it on my Myspace now, along with other selected tracks from the upcoming album!
A little bit about the song: “Touch Me” is one of the last songs I wrote for the album, and is sorta a ‘part 2’ to one of the very first songs I ever did, called “Reach Out” (see here). It’s an uptempo that perhaps breaks away somewhat from the overarching nocturnal feel of Quiet Storm as an album, but I liked the R&B beat that you could chill to, drive to or imagine playing in a club. It’s a multipurpose song! The beat is sampled from Cassie’s “Nobody But You”, featuring The-Dream, who also produced the track, so I have them to thank for the inspiration; I looped a portion of the beat and then added my own production and vocals over the top. It’s not a lyrically deep song, being basically about feeling attracted to somebody, and encouraging them to step to you and not to be intimidated. I thought that by keeping it light, it was a perfect introduction to the album without being too intense straight away. I really hope that you enjoy it, and please pass it on to your friends!

Touch Me
(A. Smith, sample of “Nobody But You” by C.Ventura / T. Nash / C. Stewart)

hey again,
I feel like I’m beginning to be that guy just randomly, trolling through your blog, lol.
Anywho, I really do like this song. Getting Mariah “Memoirs” vibe….maybe coz of the Dream sample.
I have a proposal for you ….I really believe in your songwriting skill… would you allow me to cover this song if you wouldn’t mind sending me the track (kchikumbu@gmail.com). I just wanna give it a shot…you can hear one of my tracks here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ir11Q4CX8jY
If you’re interested let me know. Of course you get full credit for the writing and teh track…I just want to try singing it. I really believe that you should consider writing for other people.
