He would hold my hand and bow down every time “Queen, if you ever need me I’m here, I’m at your service.”

When Lyriq couldn’t come, I just asked David because every time I would see him he would say “if you ever need me call, I’m at your service…” He would stay stuff like that every time. I had an idea of wanting David Banner in a different video. Then I wanted to cast my friend Lyriq Bent, but he was in rural Canada and couldn’t leave. It was glowingly clear that this was the one, and it ended up being Nandy McLean. (The chemistry came across so real people questioned if they were actually a couple.) The video was a success, largely due to the on-camera chemistry between the two. Last month we premiered the Nandy McClean-directed video, which features an appearance from David Banner as her love interest. A song about a partner who is there day-in and day-out.

Then there is “Steady Love,” a song that’s not about the highs or lows of a relationship, but about steadiness. There is a wide range of sounds and topics displayed on the album, from the uptempo single “ That Magic” to “ What If,” an ode to legendary activists and civil rights icons, from Martin Luther King Jr. The album, which was recorded in Nashville, features the singer diversifying her sound. (Not to say there weren’t some struggles she has openly spoke about the time she almost left the music industry.)Įarlier this year, she released her eighth studio album, Worthy. Since that time, she’s built and maintained a career based on consistency. It’s been almost 20 years since she gave us Acoustic Soul, an album in which she was nominated for seven Grammy Awards.
