Lumidee Explains Why 'Never Leave You' Sounds Off Key 06/23/2003

Singer and rapper Lumidee will release her debut set, Almost Famous, on Tuesday (June 24). The first single, "Never Leave You (Uh Oooh, Uh Oooh)," is presently Number 24 on the urban Radio & Records National Airplay chart. The singer recently said that her vocals on "Never Leave You" were actually from another song she recorded and that her hit is actually a blend created by DJ Tedsmooth.

Lumidee said that her vocals sound off key because the were actually recorded over another track. "Basically, he DJ Tedsmooth just broke the whole beat down," Lumidee says. "He played the whole beat over, and it sounds like I'm almost singing it to the beat. But it's the same vocals from almost two years ago, so it's just a blend. So like when people be like, 'It's off key. It's hot but it's like off key.' It's cause it's off key cause I didn't sing it on the track."

Almost Famous will feature guest appearances by Busta Rhymes, Fabolous, N.O.R.E., and Handsome Joe.

I'm not impressed with the song! The lyrics are mediocre and that beat is just the same as Sean Paul/Wayne Wonder beat except all the xtra's!

Well I personally like the song. I dunno what the deal is about the "so-called vocals bein off key" but I do kno babygirl got a hit on her hands...Or at least I think so anyway
