about

An ode to 90’s R&B, Amerigo Gazaway and Xiomara’s “1990” album is a nostalgic love letter to an era that redefined the genre. Known for his work reinterpreting classics, Gazaway (most recently tapped by the Miles Davis estate for his work on the lost Rubberband sessions), steps out of his role as a remixer and gives Bay Area artist, Xiomara, the bedrock for her voice to flourish.

With her breakout 2016 release “Seven Nineteen,” Xiomara’s soulful debut took home top rankings in SF Weekly’s “5 Best Bay Area Albums of 2016” list and led to guest spots on releases from Son Little, Blu, and Oh No to name a few. Leaning heavy on Xiomara’s songwriting and arrangement chops, the newly formed duo spent the last year crafting a collaboration as original as it is reminiscent.

lyrics

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Must be mad
Bringing me roses again
Even now you don’t get, or you seem to forget
Flowers dead upon arrival don’t mean nothing at all
I’ll be screaming with my legs in the air when you call
You always looking for a reason, jumping bad at my crib
Disrespecting me, projecting all your baggage in tow
Look no further I’m your problem ‘least you see it that way
Don’t start
Daddy yuh nah wan none wi’ me, yeah

[Chorus]
Don’t go sinkin in the dicksand
Don’t go sinkin in the dicksand (Don’t go woah)
Don’t go sinkin in the dicksand (Ya don’t go)
Don’t go sinkin in the dicksand (Oh don’t go)

Don’t go sinkin in the dicksand (Don’t go woah)
Don’t go sinkin in the dicksand (Oh ya don’t go)
Don’t go sinkin in the dicksand (Oh don’t go)
Don’t go sinkin in the

[Verse 2]
Yes I’m juvenile
But you got with it anyway
Got to riding started feeling slighted by your blasphemous ways
No more smiles
Ya done brought the dumb broad outa G
And when the truth hits ya lookin stupid I know you
Wasn’t prepared (for me)
Bringing you crashing to your knees
(Honestly and to this day baby I never met a brotha I need)
Ain’t my style to chase the D Down Do me a favor
and Disappear
If I find myself here again I won’t believe none of what I hear and I won’t go

[Chorus]

Vamp (DJ Scratching)
Wha-Wha- What’s the problem?
Why you always frontin on me? (Repeat 2x)
What’s the problem?
Why-Why you frontin on me?
What’s the problem?
Why you always frontin on me?
Why you frontin on me?
What’s the problem? W-w-what’s the problem?
What’s the problem? You always frontin on me

[Outro: Rickey Vincent]
You know
That's just how it goes
Ain't no other way around it
Sometimes things just be the way they is
Some things is in the future some things is in the past
Just gotta make the most of it
