Young Scolla - If I Was With You

Producer: Syrenn

Album: The TPT Experience

Label: Fab 5 ENT/USR

Every relationship is different, but true love always seems to start the same way: two people meet, they hit it off, their brains turn into amphetamine factories, and they go temporarily insane. Yep, I’m a romantic at heart. It’s true, though: even the keenest Young Scolla can be ambushed by the potent cocktail of hormones and neurotransmitters that turns simple attraction into obsession. On his latest single (and Booth debut) If I Was With You, the Motown up-and-comer exhibits many of the telltale signs of love-sickness—chronic melisma, sparkling vocal harmonies, vivid lyrical fantasies…—as he professes his feelings to a woman still stinging in the wake of a prior heartbreak. Though windchimes are conspicuously absent, beatsmith Syrenn‘s combination of mellow, downtempo percussion and delicate ivory-tinkling is a dead giveaway. Scolla switches gears on the back end, delivering a rapped verse that implies the romance in question may meet an unhappy end, but leaves the particulars ambiguous. This heartfelt cut is sure to strike a chord with R&B-fanatics currently in love’s grip, as well as those who just enjoy a good slow jam. In any case, fans can hear more from Young Scolla on The TPT Experience, out today.

DJ Z DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 11633	Rating: DJ Z's Top Rated Songs A warm welcome for Mr. Scolla who knocks one out of the park with IF I WAS WITH YOU. I am not usually all about the overly-cliche hypothetical jams. However, the execution here is great. Nice rap/sung versatility. PS. I am a romantic at heart too, Richard. Some lucky girl is somewhere out there... maybe, haha. Follow @DJBooth

Mr.Top Hat Tastemaker Total Ratings: 4267	Rating: Mr.Top Hat's Top Rated Songs It has that nice smooth feel to it, something you can just throw on and listen to when you're in that mellow mood ... 3.5 but i feel like rounding this up. @Richard - As your friend, I am perhaps your biggest fan. Good luck on your next write-up/blurb.
