2013년 5월 1일 오늘의 곡은 New Edition의 Cool It Now입니다. 뉴에디션은 고 휘트니휴스턴의 전 남편이었던 바비브라운이 있던 그룹으로도 유명하지요. Cool It Now는 1984년 발표된 이들의 두번째 앨범 New Edition의 타이틀곡으로 빌보드차트 4위까지 오르며 큰 히트를 기록합니다. 리드보컬 랄프 트레스번트의 얼굴과 어울리지 않는 미성의 목소리가 아주 매력적인 곡이지요. 혼자서 랩과 리드 보컬까지 다하는 능력자였습니다. 바비브라운은 그리 활약이 없었네요. 그래서 그런지 바비브라운과 랄프 트렌스번트의 갈등으로 바비브라운이 탈퇴하고 자니길이 들어오게 됩니다. 그후에 HeartBreak앨범을 내고 인기를 얻고 바비브라운또한 솔로로서 인기를 끌게 되지요. 이후 랄프와 자니또한 솔로로 나오고 나머지 멤버들은 Bell Biv Devoe라는 그룹으로 각자 인기를 얻고 90년대초를 화려하게 장식합니다. 각자의 개인활동에 치중하면서 그러면서 해체 아닌 해체를 맞게 되지만 1996년에 다시 재결합하며 새롭게 시작하기도 하지요. New Edition 하나의 그룹을 통해 R&B의 역사가 이루어졌다고 해도 과언이 아닐 정도로 히트곡들이 쏟아진 셈이죠. 그러나 저는 초창기 New Edition이 정말 좋습니다. 1집 Candy Girl 또한 명곡인데요. 꼭 들어보시길 바랍니다. 즐감하세요!
Everybody's saying silly things
Without knowing that life brings a change
And I've been checking all the signs
My friends say I'm love sick cause I...
All I keep thinking about is her in my arms
(Got to see what love is all about)
And I won't be the same until she is mine
And my friends keep telling me to
Cool It Now
You got to cool it now
Ooooooh watch out
You're gonna loose control
Cool it now
You got to slow it down
Slow it down...
You're gonna fall in love
Everyday I walk her home from school
And she tells me how she really feels
And there's no doubt in my mind
That this girl is one of a kind
Cause all I keep thinking about is her in my arms
(Got to see what love is about)
And I won't feel the same until she is mine
But my friends keep telling me to
Cool It Now
You got to cool it now
Ooooooh watch out
You're gonna lose control
Cool it now
You better slow it down
Slow it down...
You're gonna fall in love
Cool it now
You got to cool it now
Ooooooh watch out
You're gonna lose control
Cool it now
You got to slow it down
Slow it down...
You're gonna fall in love
All I keep thinking about is her in my arms
(Got to see what love is all about)
And I'll never be the same until you are mine
And my friends keep telling me..
When ya got a girl who takes her time
You must slow the pace you can't mess with her mind
If she feels the same she'll letcha know
Just prepare yourself or be ready to go
And I hope this message stays in your mind
Cause you almost lost a girl who is right on time
There's one more thing that ya got to know
Just cool it down and stay in control
Cool It Now
You got to cool it now
Ooooooh watch out
You're gonna lose control
Cool it now
You got to slow it down
Slow it down...
You're gonna fall in love baby
All I keep thinking about is her in my arms
(Got to see what love is all about)
And I'll never be the same until you are mine, oh
Listen to me let me tell you
Why you all coming down on me
Tryin to tell me how my life is supposed to be
I know you're only trying to help me out
Tryin to show me what life is really about
But this time I'm gonna make it on my own
So why dontcha fellaz just leave me alone
Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky and Mike
If I like the girl who cares who you like
Cool It Now
Ooooooh watch out, out, out, out
Cool It Now
Slow it down, down, down, down
Cool It Now
Ooooooh watch out, out, out, out
Cool It Now
Slow it down, down, down, down
Cool it now
Ooooooh watch out
Cause you're gonna lose control
Cool it now
You got to slow it down
Slow it down...
You're gonna fall in love
Cool it now
Slow it down
You're gonna lose control
Cool it now
You got to slow it down
Slow it down...
'Cause you're gonna fall in love

'Cause you're gonna lose control
Cool it now
You got to slow it down
Slow it down...
Cool it now
Oooooh watch out
