In a world full of hookups, entanglements and people getting bad relationship advice from random podcasts, Chantae Cann and Kenyon Dixon want something more. The singers/songwriters desire a deeper love connection and get to the heart of the matter on their duet “B-Side.”
Produced by Masego and recorded at his TrapHouseJazz Studios in Los Angeles, “B-Side” sounds like it’s straight out of neo-soul’s late-’90s heyday. Built on a solid foundation of guitar, bass, keys and drums, it blends elements of jazz, R&B and hip-hop into a chill track perfect to vibe out to.
Cann and Dixon catch a romantic vibe on “B-Side.” They want to go beyond the surface to learn more about each other so that they can take their relationship to another level. They express themselves with some clever musical metaphors.
Chantae begins the song with a breathy chorus. “I wanna see your B-side / I wanna know what it’s like / I wanna see your B-side / Flip the tape turn it over, play you over and over,” she sings. If R&B Kenny needs any clarity about what she means, she makes it abundantly clear on the first verse. “Wanna love all of you / Not just the sum of your parts / Wanna give you all of me / Not just the sum of my heart,” Cann coos.
Kenyon reflects her energy and turns on the charm and the heat for his verse. “Don’t hold back on your love / Baby, let me inside / Wanna see your favorites / The other other playlist / I want you to take it / There,” he sings, applying pressure.
“B-Side” is the second new single from Chantae Cann in preparation for the release of her as-yet-untitled third album. It follows her motivational track “Beautiful Brave” and has us excited for what’s to come from the Atlanta-based songbird. Kenyon Dixon, meanwhile, is still floating from his second GRAMMY nomination and has a special deluxe edition of his last album The R&B You Love on the way. While we impatiently wait for both artists’ projects, listen to “B-Side” and watch its lyric video right here, and slide the song onto your playlist on your desired digital music services.
