I feel so alone
without you boy
now I 'm here
hanging out in the street
thinking about reactions over actions
walking on the sky of my dreams
Come, come, my baby come
I will show you the world
Come, come, my baby come
I will cover your nightmares
Come, come, my baby come
I will love you forever
Come, come, my baby come
I will not let you go
My love, I just feel so lost
without you boy
I am yours even if time has passed
Take me away
from this impetuous world
leaving this jail of my mind
Come, come, my baby come
I will show you the world
Come, come, my baby come
I will cover your nightmares
Come, come, my baby come
I will love you forever
Come, come, my baby come
I will not let you go
My soul, my soul is in Africa, with you boy
Come, come, my baby come
I will show you the world
Come, come, my baby come
I will cover your nightmares
Come, come, my baby come
I will love you forever
Come, come, my baby come
I will not let you go
My soul, is in Africa
with you boy
Looking at the stars
on this diamond sky
giving you my smile
so you can keep it on your mind
floating on your blazing eyes
Come, come, my baby come
I will show you the world
Come, come, my baby come
I will cover your nightmares
Come, come, my baby come
I will love you forever
Come, come, my baby come
I will not let you go
I feel so alone
without you boy
now I 'm here

Come, come, my baby come

Come, come, my baby come

I always hear Jesca Hoop off of her Kismet album in this song.
7 -> 6 :/
She's got arms, and she knows how to use them
7. 02., this is aquarius, so am I, even at the same day-
Fun videos. Eye candy to go with the ear candy
This is good. "Makeba", her tribute to Mama Africa, is even better.
up to 9 - Jain makes me happy

Fair point for her. But it can be done. What "accent" do you hear from First Aid Kit or Abba (Sweden) or Caro Emerald (Netherlands)? Point being it can be done, but I agree with you that it's kind of small to criticize a singer for having an accent when speaking/singing in a language that's not their native tongue.

Sounds like an Apple commercial song.

Wikipedia: "Jain was born on 7 February 1992 in Toulouse, France. The Occitan singer travelled the world to follow the professional requirements of her father: She left France at age 9 for Dubai, where she spent three years; then lived for four years in Congo-Brazzaville, which she credits for her taste for danceable melodies; and then spent a year in Abu Dhabi, before moving to Paris where she started a pre-art-school foundation course. These trips influenced her musical style. She also learned how to play drums in Pau, Arabic percussion in the Middle East, and musical programming in Congo."
I think some part of whatever accent she has is probably legit.
Wouldn't be so bad without that fake African accent meets Manu Chao.

An open mind and wide taste in music is a must if you want to hang around this place, and most here fail at that.
I think a lot, maybe most of the listeners have really wide ranging tastes. That's why RP has grown and done well. Oh, and Bill being able to steer the ship himself without committees to drag him down. And the great software which he has had the vision to create. And the small team that puts it all together. And Rebecca for her part, which I'm not sure that is but I like to hear her voice.

Her first three music videos are clever and are strung together. Head over to YouTube or VEVO and watch in order:
Come -> Makeba -> Dynabeat
I wish she'd do more of these.

Well... i have one so simple that you'll never think of other definition! All arts decorate space, only music decorates time! Ta-daaa!!! By summing up all parts of music, you could miss its entirety. Deus ex machina could slip through your fingers and that intracranial wire that holds your ears together from the inside will overheat and snap... stop defining music. Feel it...

Bought a TV Recently
It came with samples of video and audio for a more advanced system (read add on proprietary) that I could upgrade, for a price.
The video for this tune is one of the samples.

I'm not usually a fan of modern pop music but this one, I really like. It reminds me a lot of Shakira, and I like hers too.

Lower end of basic band music, pretending to be creative, but it's all been done way better, for years and years now. Lacks substance really

I don’t really like this much, but it’s nice to see something that’s not obscure classic rock or reggae on the main mix.

Wikipedia,
"Jain was born on 7 February 1992 in Toulouse, France. She travelled the world to follow the professional requirements of her father: She left France at age 9 for Dubai, where she spent three years; then lived for four years in Congo-Brazzaville, which she credits for her taste for danceable melodies; and then spent a year in Abu Dhabi, before moving to Paris where she started a pre-art-school foundation course. These trips influenced her musical style. She also learned how to play drums in Pau, Arabic percussion in the Middle East, and musical programming in Congo.[1]
Jain began composing demo tracks in Pointe-Noire, Congo-Brazzaville. There she met Mr. Flash, who introduced her to musical programming. She then published her demo tracks on MySpace, where she was noticed by Dready, who became her manager and remains so today. Yodelice also discovered these tracks and invited Jain to meet him in Paris. They began to work together, and Yodelice helped to launch her career.[2]
Jain was a supporting artist for Yodelice's tour.[3] They appeared together on the television show Taratata in 2013 and performed a duet cover of "Redemption Song".[4]"
One of my current favorites on rp. Can't help but dance when it comes on.

Too many have way TOO much to say about everylittlething EXCEPT that what MATTERS, which is NOT what they obsess about. RIGHT HERE, on a MUSIC LOVERS site it is even happening, I discovered just in the almost month I have been here. I so thought this was the perfect place to attempt social networking in a safe environment... not so safe :(
@sdwright - welcome to the RP song comment boards! I haven't ventured into the "non-song" forums much (no time for THAT) and I find that, even with the song-trashing-comments that enough of US (like you and carlos65, even if a different age) enjoy LISTENING to the music, esp. when it's something different than we're used to....so I say LONG LIVE RP and PEACE!!!
and....I rate this track a 7, I recognize it and don't want to change it, so it might even move +1 one day....Today (5/9/18) is that day....it's an 8 for me now.
Some people seem to think that music is only 'real music' if performed by serious looking scruffy white dudes with bushy beards singing songs about politics, the environment or spaceships. dragon1952 wrote:

Her style on the album cover and also used in her videos is of a rather prim nanny but the voice and demeanour is completely unexpected. The same sort of contradiction as Bjork in my mind.
Sounds like a television commercial.

Great video, but she's got that certain voice quality from this decade I just haven't gotten used to. I know that singing styles come and go, but this one annoys me.

Weel put Jake, just the reason why I listen to RP. As the Stones put it:"you can't always get what you want..."
As for the hard core haters or "just not in the mood for that right now" people, there is a great feature, the little "PSD" or "Play Something Different" button; you should try it sometimes, it helps release the tension.
Personally I can't stand the Talking Heads but still love RP and don't feel the need to comment when I hear 1 song I don't like. Sometimes your favorite granola isn't just available... :)

Interesting,
"Multicultural pop singer Jain was influenced by the many places she has called home. Born in Toulouse, France, with roots in Madagascar, she moved to Dubai at nine and then the Congo during high school, where she began experimenting with music, notably with producer Mr. Flash. After graduation, she returned to Paris for art school. Along the way, she latched onto the music from these areas of her youth — such as French techno, Arabic percussion, and the rhythms of Africa — and combined them into her own style. She released her debut EP, Hope, in 2015. Produced by French singer/songwriter Yodelice, Hope included the singles "Come" and "Makeba," about South African singer and civil rights icon Miriam Makeba. These songs caught the ear of Jaden Smith, which led to radio play on his Beats1 radio show and increased international exposure. Her debut LP, Zanaka, was released at the end of 2015 and was certified gold in France in February 2016. ~ Neil Z. Yeung"
