Sparkle-So Bad

Sparkle, born Stephanie Edwards began as a protogee of R. Kelly and we remember her from songs like "Be Careful" where where she argues with Kellz about who contributed and who didnt to the relationship and that what goes around comes around. In the year 2000 she came out with a song called "It's a Fact" where she kills her SO after she had enough (view the video). This song got good play on urban radio (atleast in my  hometown). There was another song released called "Don't Know Why" which got moderate play on urban radio and it seems that after that, she just dissappeared. Oh wait, she did testify against R. Kelly when the sex tape of him and her niece came out.

Anyway, she's back, with a song called "So Bad", which is another song, yep about how a guy did her wrong. But the song does sound good, the vibe is rather chill with a nice piano and drum (machine) in the background. The song finds her lamenting on how bad the guy  has hurt her and how she trying to get her mind in another direction. Unlike a decade ago where she seeemed to be more bitter than anything else, she's justifying her emotions with lyrics like "you can't help who you love, and you can't help you hate". Her vocals are still as strong as they were 12 years ago, and did I mention that she looks STUNNING??? I'm loving the track, sounds like something that should have been recorded a in the late 90's to early 2000's but it's still fits in this era despite the obesession we have with Chris Brown. Listen to the song here and tell me what you think.
