Adam Shalashaska agree, I found her youtube channel a while ago, she sings and stuff. But nothing like the Neptunes days, but she's still a talented singer.
Mike Boltz-Robinson totally CAli u wanna check out Tyler's new project Death Camp and Keep Da O's the bridges on those Nostalgic of This Neptune era, you'll thank me...The Whole Cherry Bomb project NERD/Neptunes Inspired
Yo..star trak had a team...mid 2000s..this joint knocks..like much of the shit the neptunes did in that era..hell of low key joints that didnt get air play
thats very true, kaliedoscope was a sick album, althought she grew apart from the Neptunes, they prectically made Justified a classic. the neptunes def have the Midas touch
lack of mainstream popularity is not lack of fame and fortune. just to put you on a little game, most real musicians would rather have longevity than a year or two of mass appeal. and the best way to gain longevity is to find and appeal to your core group of fans. everyone can't be radiohead and enjoy longterm critical and (relative) commercial success for doing music they like.
As the smoke ascended from my lips after Pharrell’s “Take It Off” went off…I so suddenly turned to reach for my phone when this smooth grooveass shit hit my BOSE&I was like…WELL ILL BE DAMNED☺️
Oh, my god. I love this song! I heard it once, and I got so pissed off when I didn't know the name of the song, and I couldn't find it on iTunes or anything. Thanks so much for posting this. :D
[Intro: Pharrell Williams] A-la-la, la-la, la A-la-la, la-la A-la-la, la-la, la A-la-la, la-la [Verse 1: Vanessa Marquez] You did let me go, listening to your amigo Can't believe your mind so controllable like a Nintendo And the honey for your bumble, harmonious was our symbol Don't mean to sound less than humble, but you sure did a combo And it had to hurt you some kind of way (Kind of way) Probably hurts to lose, not knowing you've been played (You've been played) Probably brings you down to find you should've stayed You should've stayed, boy, you should've stayed [Chorus: Vanessa and Pharrell] You didn't know? Ooh I can't believe what they told you, it must have been somebody getting over Hey, how can love save the day? Hey, you lеt the wrong one get away (A-la-la, la-la, la) (A-la-la, la-la) (A-la-la, la-la, la) (A-la-la, la-la) (A-la-la, la-la, la) (A-la-la, la-la) (A-la-la, la-la, la) (A-la-la, la-la) [Verse 2: Vanessa Marquez] Last yеar was you and I, we went to the cinemas Shared popcorn and soda, felt right with you by my side From letters and two-steps, to long kisses right before bed time To find out you hung our love all over neighborhood headlines (Headli-li-lines) And it sure hurt me some kind of way (Way, way, way-way) And it hurts to lose, not knowing I've been played (Played, played, played-played) Probably brings you down to know you should've stayed (Stay, stay, stay-stay) Boy, you should've stayed (Yeah) [Chorus: Vanessa and Pharrell] You didn't know? Ooh I can't believe what they told you, it must have been somebody getting over Hey, how can love save the day? Hey, you lеt the wrong one get away (A-la-la, la-la, la) (A-la-la, la-la) (A-la-la, la-la, la) (A-la-la, la-la) (A-la-la, la-la, la) (A-la-la, la-la) (A-la-la, la-la, la) (A-la-la, la-la) [Bridge: Vanessa Marquez] You better watch who your friends are (Friends are) Friends are (Friends are) Who you listen to They can be misleading you ('leading you) You better watch who your friends are (Friends are) Friends are (Friends are) Who you listen to They can be misleading you ('leading you) [Interlude: Vanessa Marquez] You see Can't go back I just don't know Well, here goes nothin' [Refrain: Vanessa Marquez] You see Oh, what should I do? Oh, no, no, no Oh, and what should I do? (I don't think you should chance it, don't give him a chance) ('Cause if you give him a chance, he might take you for granted) (I don't think you should chance it, don't give him a chance) ('Cause if you give him a chance, he might take you for granted) [Verse 3: Vanessa Marquez] I know we make mistakes and And people are not perfect, babe My heart is somethin' you wanted You would have never hurt it, babe Just try next time Consider other people's feelings And if you heed these lines There'll be no reason [Chorus: Vanessa and Pharrell] You didn't know? Ooh I can't believe what they told you, it must have been somebody getting over Hey, how can love save the day? Hey, you lеt the wrong one get away (A-la-la, la-la, la) (A-la-la, la-la) (A-la-la, la-la, la) (A-la-la, la-la) (A-la-la, la-la, la) (A-la-la, la-la) (A-la-la, la-la, la) (A-la-la, la-la) [Bridge: Vanessa Marquez] You better watch who your friends are (Friends are) Friends are (Friends are) Who you listen to They can be misleading you ('leading you) You better watch who your friends are (Friends are) Friends are (Friends are) Who you listen to They can be misleading you ('leading you)
Thanks a lot. I always liked this song, but couldn't get it's whole meaning until now. ( I would never guess that she was singing "listening to your amigo" in that part...)
and just to stay on topic, the reason the neptunes give there most passionate beats to Star Trak artists is because it's there outlet to exercise their passion. it's the reason alot of their illest shit goes relatively unheard except by (you guessed it) they're core group of fans.you think MF DOOM ever plays an un-sold out show? and for the record, fame and popularity doesnt equal wealth. i think TLC, B2K, and any American Idol Winner can attest to that.
shoulda stayed with the neptunes.. they bring the talent out of an artist or maybe its just that they make you sound good with their hard beats and melodies. They practically created Kelis
@@Carantsseats that was a different vanessa marquez. there hasnt rlly been any recent news / updates bout her, but im sure this vanessa marquez is alive & doin well.
I agree with the person that said the neptunes love to waste great beats. It's true, there's so many gems that they never release, or that get cut from albums, or they give nice beats to low-profile artists who are not going to make the song into a hit. If I were the neptunes, I'd establish a system where I'd give the hot beats to hot artists, and the not-so-hot beats to low-profile artists. That way, all their best beats have a good chance of being hits because they give them to popular artists
Chad and Pharrell never cared about hits. People like you gas up popularity over talent and that's why music sucks now 😐 hopefully your mindset has changed in 12 years
i don’t think it’s necessarily a waste. for whatever reason her project didn’t come out and it’s probably some shady industry stuff tbh. but we live in a day and age where she could easily upload this to apple so she should.
Hello, would you happen to know what she is doing now? Or how we can get in contact with her? We are WORLD ELEVATE an upcoming record label that is trying to contact Vanessa! She has such a beautiful soul and voice! Hope she is doing well!
shes with ascap you would to contact her publisher if you trying to contact her directly try twitter i'm pretty sure shes on twitter or facebook good luck
True, but then again, who is able to anticipate what would be a "hit" or a "hot beat"? Cause there are crap beats that people turned into good songs, and popular artists get good beats and fuck those up too. Its a chance whenever a producer creates. You never know the potential until its distributed in some way. Its not about hits, but exposure.
Whatever happened to Vanessa Marquez? Is she still working with Pharrell/ the Neptunes as in house producers? I was anticipating her album drop but was disappointed at no real single or release date in sight.
Cali22boi no I was implying that I have the same name. I was bored so I looked up my name in RU-vid and like literally hundreds of results showed up. Sorry to disappoint
they charge money because, uh, music is their PROFESSION! its their fucking day job. that doesn't mean they aren't passionate about it. thats like saying teachers aren't passionate about education because they receive a paycheck, or pro athletes, who spend their lives working at their craft, aren't passionate about their sport because they get big contracts. your point is ridiculous.
