Lately, Ive been trying to figure out your mind
And why you keep dissin me
Poor little me
And why you have a change of heart
And turn it all around
And then try to put it on me
Poor little me
But dont you know
I could be a trip
I could make things hard
But baby I believe that you still got a heart
Thats why i
Try to stop myself before I start
cause I could make it tough
I could make it rough
But I wont
Well Ill be givin you the benefit
Of the doubt
Givin you a minute to
Try to work it on out
Ill be givin you the benefit
Of the doubt
And Im givin you a minute to
Try to work it on out
Baby, work it on, work it on out
Work, work, work
Baby, work it on, work it on out
Work, work, work
Baby how could you be hangin out on the town
And claim that you missin me
Poor little me
When you knew all the time
That you couldve been with your homegirl
Lovin and a kissin on me
Sweet little me
But dont you know
If you wanna be a man
You gotta work real hard
If you wanna make me feel Im like your number one and
Nothin in the world should make us part
Cause we can make it work
If you take away the hurt
From the heart

I could be a trip
But I choose not to
Deep inside of you
I think theres still good in you boy
Dont give me no reason not to trust you
Just take the benefit
Dont give me no lip
And Ill be sweet to you
Tryin to understand you right boy
So you need some time to work it out, work it
Well theres really no need to fuss and fight, no
All I want is for you to try and work it out

Babyface, pseudonimo di Kenneth Brian Edmonds, è un rinomato cantante, compositore e produttore discografico statunitense nato nel 1958. Attivo dal 1986, ha raggiunto il successo internazionale con brani come "When Can I See You Again", "Whip Appeal" e "Every Time I Close My Eyes". Il suo stile musicale si caratterizza per un R and B sofisticato e melodie orecchiabili, spesso arricchite da arrangiamenti orchestrali. Babyface ha collaborato con artisti di spicco come Toni Braxton, Boyz II Men e Mariah Carey, contribuendo a definire il sound dell'R and B degli anni '90. Ha vinto 12 Grammy Awards per la sua musica e le sue produzioni, consolidando il suo status di leggenda del genere.
Il supergruppo di Alice Cooper e Johnny Depp è pronto a tornare in Italia con 2 date nel mese di settembre.
"Era uno dei concerti migliori della mia vita". Bad Bunny è tornato a parlare dell'evento tenuto sabato scorso all'Ippodromo La Maura nella zona San Siro di Milano. E la grandine riapre il problema sicurezza dell'impianto.
Noemi dovrà osservare 4 settimane di riposo dopo la caduta, ma dal 16 agosto sarà un tour de force per recuperare i live rinviati. Ecco tutte le date fino a settembre.
Lo scorso 13 luglio Paolo Belli era in bicicletta tra Correggio e Campagnola, in provincia di Reggio Emilia, per la sua solita sgambata, quando ha investito un uomo di 41 anni di nome Alessandro Mignani che, trasportato in ospedale, dopo 1 giorno in terapia intensiva, è deceduto.
L'11 luglio Teddy Reno ha compiuto 100 anni! E' il primo cantante italiano a raggiungere questo traguardo.
Nella terza edizione di "Nuova Scena", talent dedicato al mondo rap in onda su Netflix, si sono aggiudicati la vittoria i cosentini Flextony e Tigerplug.
La radio è morta? No. Ma non è più il cancello d'ingresso. Negli ultimi anni qualcosa è cambiato ? radicalmente. Canzoni sconosciute esplodono in pochi giorni. Artisti senza contratto discografico raccolgono milioni di stream. E le radio? Arrivano dopo, non prima. Il pubblico ha preso il controllo. Il potere dei video brevi: 15 secondi che cambiano tutto TikTok ha trasformato le regole del gioco musicale. Una melodia che dura meno di venti secondi può diventare il suono di un'intera estate. Nel 2023, oltre il 70% delle canzoni entrate nella Billboard Hot 100 aveva avuto un'origine virale su piattaforme social prima di ricevere attenzione radiofonica.
Il 28 aprile 1986 la cantante Graziella Franchini, in arte Lolita, veniva ritrovata esanime e sfigurata nella camera del residence di Lamezia Terme in cui viveva ormai da un pò di tempo. L'omicidio è rimasto privo di colpevoli.
Da qualche parte nel mondo i Blue si sono riuniti davanti a uno schermo per vedere l'esibizione di Sal Da Vinci che canta "Per Sempre Si".
