The Flashback Fridays #1 For 5/24/19 (Special Edition): K-Ci & Jojo - Tell Me It’s Real (1999, 20th Anniversary)
Hands down one of the greatest songs ever, genre for genre. And this is honestly their best song and music video for me, even over “All My Life.” The brilliance that Joel Hailey, Cedric Halley did on their own words and beat, along with Rory Bennett, just was perfect. Only Christina Aguilera’s “Genie in a Bottle” prevented it from being #1 during this time 20 years ago. So with all that said, from their second album after the Jodeci days, it’s the still underrated, legendary duo that is K-Ci & JoJo with “Tell Me It’s Real.”
