Muni Long - "Made For Me"
Nothing like longtime songwriters with initial dreams of being singers in the forefront positioning themselves from behind the writer's table to the stage. I've followed Priscilla's journey since her covers of songs like Amy Winehouse's "Rehab" and the Fergie "Glamorous" Dictionary tune days (before DMCA notices) when Youtube first launched.
"Made For Me" is what I call a loop record, meaning it makes the listener want to keep it on repeat. Priscilla's explored different sounds in the past, like country, before she reinvented herself as Muni. This song gives me that merger. It's a tender, classic R&B ballad that invites a soft yodel effect in the chorus while marrying ballad keys with a simple percussive arrangement that got that knock. Can't go wrong with a JD and Bryan Michael Cox production 🤷🏽♀️. Feels refreshing for this era, but also nostalgic enough to easily fit amongst songs from the early 2000s. The best of both worlds.
If this is the direction of Muni's new album. Man.... The choir rendition she performed on the Soul Train Awards (that I've played daily since then lol) better be on it as a bonus track. Just luscious and takes it to another level.
Muni Long - Hrs and Hrs
Muni Long
Dear God, I want a man I want him strong, ain't scared to dance Knows how to work, he's down to Earth When he gets home, he puts me first I don't mean to interfere if it ain't in your plan But I want a big strong man with gentle hands

I just found out Muni Long is Priscilla Renea…
I’m at such a loss for words, I used to bump her earlier songs she sang and penned herself (10+ years ago!)
She looks soooo different, damn.
