While we wait for Maysa's upcoming album, Back 2 Love, to hit the streets on May 26th, we don't have to wait any longer to get a taste of the project. The Baltimore-bred diva calls on one of St. Paul, Minnesota's finest, Stokley Williams of Mint Condition, to join her on the track "Keep It Movin'."
Stokley not only provides guest vocals on the song, but he produced it as well. The mid-tempo R&B groove that Williams conjured up is a welcome change of pace for Maysa. The track actually sounds like a hip-hop song at its onset with a sparse thumping beat, but soon a guitar and synths join in to get the party started.
Maysa is first to add her voice to the mix as she calls out her significant other who's been acting a little suspect; she needs him to not only talk the talk but to walk the walk. Stokley answers her accusations after the chorus and pleads his case that he's all about her but hasn't necessarily been feeling the love in return. They are on the brink of calling quits on "Keep It Movin'," but it sounds like these two just need some relationship counseling to smooth and work things out.
Maysa and Stokley have great chemistry together on "Keep It Movin'," and the song is one that many real-life couples can probably relate to. Here's to hoping that this isn't the last time that these two talents hook up on wax.
