Tamisha-Waden-Red-Lip

This song got real when Phonte wrote to it and sent it back with them recorded vocals on it. My initial reaction was, "COME on, bruh..." Up to that point, after touring with her for over a year I was really only familiar with Tamisha Waden's LIVE vocals. Hearing her own this recorded verse for the first time, I DAMN near called her out of concern like...

"Ayo, Tamisha, you alright?! I don't know what the hell happened, but it'll be okay. Trust me on this."

Her vocals sounded very genuine. To me, It sounded like she was singing through tears. I loved it, the texture was perfect. I'm sure she has received more than a couple texts from folks reaching out to her about hanging in there or some shit since this record has been released. Phonte was writing about something damn near everyone who has had any type of relationship can relate to: Finally getting on the same page, pushing the pride to the side, possibly humbling yourself, throwing up the white flag and calling a "Truce." Whether it's to "start over" on the right foot in a relationship, to keep the peace in a co-parenting situation or perhaps to even keep from catching a case in the workplace, we have all been in these places at one time or another. Overall, it sounded like our creative zone carried over to what Phonte and Tamisha were doing in Raleigh because between the subject matter, Tamisha murdering her solo parts and those ending harmonies they sang together??!!?
