One.


A good friend of mine told me that he thinks this was a desecration of probably U2's best ever song...a classic...a deity among songs if ever there was One (hehehe, that choomokad nicely)....I beg and continue to beg to differ most vehemently.

Me? I think this is the most passionate and intense I have ever heard Mary J. Blige. Across a career spanning some 14 odd years. Sparked the ma-excitoz I felt when I first heard her go crazy with with Wyclef as they Called 911. Seems she thrives off collabos with eccentric musical geniuses. Remember "As" with George Michael?

Bono, The Edge & co (woishe the other dudes end up as "& co"...its like those mamas who used to be in Destiny's Child..anonymous tu...digression..) tagteam with Mary J. in an immensly soul-tingling way. I could feel an inexplicable tinga-bubbliness somewhere in theiya! The live performance at the Grammies earlier this year left many utterly blown away.


Kwa ufupi, this retouch of U2's "One" has guzad my musical hanjams in a way they haven't been guzwad in a long time.

One.
