Monday Mixtape: Mr.Red/2005

If you want the CD version..where you can rewind and fast forward tracks easily… you can get it for 99 cents here … Support your girl if you can

Hey Everybody. This mixtape is a dedication to my new friend Mr. Red and also a salute to the R&B from the year 2005. As with many of my mixes, the concept usually starts from a couple of songs and grows from there. In this case,  it was Yo (Excuse Me Miss) and You Don’t Know My Name. Those two songs kept swirling around in my head whenever I thought of Mr. Red and how we met in November, so I did some research and came up with a playlist on Spotify. I thought it was private until I noticed people subscribing to it. Also in 2005, two of my favorite producers Pharrell and Timberland were churning out hit after hit. I attended a Neptunes vs. Timberland party recently and I decided to go ahead and make a mixtape out of the list.

A long convoluted story right? For those that were there at @KittyBradshaw ‘s birthday party …(@f_uitlist and @TheJadedNYer you were there..lol) you know that I’ve been holding on to this for a minute! LOL The backstory was so sweet though. A cute guy, staring at you the whole night during a party. You feel the attraction and so much is said through the meaningful looks, but neither of you makes a move. It’s a dope party and before you know it the night is over. There is one brief exchange, neither of you get the other’s number or their name, and you walk away thinking what could have been. Until he finds you on Facebook LOL

And if you’re wondering…Mr. Red is more handsome than the guy in the cover pic…and he was wearing that red sweater too
