@@tyvianc Devante and Al B handled much of the production here. In truth he pretty much had the album completed but the record label didn't think it was polished enough (he wasn't very experienced at the time) so drafted Al in to help him out. You can hear Al B's influence in tracks like Forever My Lady and Come And Talk To Me.
tlig there was a mix up in who really wrote the song,but if I can remember kci said DeVante had the lyrics already and Al came in with first bars with “so you’re having my baby” because he dedicated the song to Kim Porter(r.i.p) at the time because she was pregnant with their son.....but then al b had words for DeVante on the gram
Devante had majority of the album done before they met. Uptown had al b come in and listen to it and mix it and help produce and wrote some of the lyrics. Devante made this album for his girlfriend who went to the army y’all need to stop. Give Devante his credit.
and Keith Sweat. Don't sleep on the fact that he is the common denominator whether he has alton wookie stewart, lionel job, bobby wooten, silk, or T.R. with him.
NOBODY CAN COMPARE OR TOUCH DEE SWING. THAT MAN IS THE DEFINITION OF A MUSICIAN. HE GOES BEYOND THE SOUNDBOARD LOL HE NEEDS TO COME BACK AND WHIP THESE ARTISTS BACK INTO SHAPE
From 1:17-1:24 !!!!!!!!!! I promise you,NOBODY had harmony like Jodeci.......And DeVante is a damn GENIUS with stacking vocals while the boys jumping octaves in their harmony.......you can hear the vibrato sound on the “you and I” chorus on this instrumental
@@ameliadumas5317 dame right! He's FINALLY getting his recognition from his peers.....You heard teddy Riley speak on devante recently? He stated "I went to the studio and devante had all the keyboards and I was like man,where did u get all these from.....I was motivated after that"
@music lover1984 Just think abt it,who from the basement crew REALLY gave devante an opportunity to work on THEIR album once they've became who they are now? That's why I felt dalvin's comment abt Timbaland & Missy when it came "So how did yall guys feel abt Timbaland and missy's success knowing that they were under you guys camp? Dalvin said "well I think you need to ask them that,because I think they forget sometimes".
Yes, the chord jumping and the vocal shacking gives us a rich, deep sound. I didn't realize what a master Devante is until after listening to these instrumentals.
Forever, forever, forever So you're having my baby And it means so much to me There's nothing more precious Than to raise a family If there's any doubt in your mind You can count on me I'll never let you down Lady believe in me You and I Will never fall apart You and I We knew right from the start, baby, baby The day We fell so far in love Now our baby is born, healthy and strong Now our dreams are reality Forever my lady It's like a dream I'm holding you close You're keeping me warm If this is ecstacy Forever my lady I say just what I mean Forever and ever I pray is what I see Can you picture my lady This empty scene There's no me or no you What will we do An awful sight to me If I ever lose you Tell me where would I go Life would have no meaning And I pray that you will always stay with me You and I Would never fall apart, baby You and I Said we knew right from the start The day We fell so far in love Now our baby is born Healthy and strong Now our dreams are reality Forever my lady It's like a dream I'm holding you close You're keeping me warm If this is ecstacy Forever my lady I say just what I mean Forever and ever I pray is what I see Lady, you and I Will never fall apart, no no You and I I say we made it And I say we made it from the start The day We fell so far in love Now our baby is born So healthy and strong Now my dreams are reality Yeahhhhhh Forever my lady Ah yeah, baby Forever my lady Woo oooh Said I pray every night, baby Forever my lady And every day of the week
Most people really can’t understand how ahead of his time Devante was. The level of production is insane considering the technological and musical status at the time. Especially Diary of a mad band.
the only artist alive that can stand toe to toe with R. Kelly ....both my idols and distant mentors. If it wasnt for the life threatening altering situation DeVante went through , R&B wouldv been a whole lot different. Dude was a pioneer and one of a kind genius
Maaaaannnn listen THESE FCKN PEOPLE RIIII HERE Tuuuhh ALL TIME FAVORITE GROUP EVER LAAAWWWDDD have mercy!!! I’m now blessed to have my own personal DeVante Swing🤍🖤My Lova makes BEATS🤪🤞🏾 JODECI FOREVER say something outta line bout em & watch me act a zip damn foo lol
Let's be honest . DeVante did have a baby when forever my lady was produced. Hell he produced it. So when they kept asking did they have any babies they kept saying no.
BRUH...LISTENIN' TO JODECI WITHOUT THE VOCALS IS LIKE A DAY WARM DAY WITHOUT THE SUNSHINE...IT'S NICE, BUT I GOT'S TO HEAR THE REAL THANG...I'M OUT...PEACE!!!
He bounced off since 2015's _The Past, Present, and Future_ Jodeci's recent fourth wall (after 20 years since _The Show, the After-Party, The Hotel_ in 1995). In 2021 now, it's about nearly 26.
Devante is one of the greatest producers EVER!!!
Gotta understand though, Al B. Sure and Kyle West produced the first album. Devante did the second album.....get it right bruh!!!!!

You betta say that shhhiiitt 👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
The greatest R&B group of all time! No question, hands down. Jodeci Forever!
Devante and Al.B. Sure + Key west and Teddy Riley best NEW JACK SWING PRODUCERS IN OUR LIFETIME👍👍👍🙂
Fact
No love for R Kelly?
@@tlig he came afterwards
Kyle West, you're welcom
and Keith Sweat. Don't sleep on the fact that he is the common denominator whether he has alton wookie stewart, lionel job, bobby wooten, silk, or T.R. with him.
The instrumentals show (by their absence) just how incredible Jodeci's vocals are. Thank you Jodeci.
NOBODY CAN COMPARE OR TOUCH DEE SWING. THAT MAN IS THE DEFINITION OF A MUSICIAN. HE GOES BEYOND THE SOUNDBOARD LOL HE NEEDS TO COME BACK AND WHIP THESE ARTISTS BACK INTO SHAPE
90's Baby I agree,too much auto tune in this generation of music today.....D was ahead of his time back then
That's something that'll neva happen. I mean it's a good idea since you brought it up; artists need God!
This man is definitely GodSent!!!
Okay well what do you know Jodeci is making a comeback but on tour hopefully they’ll release music from the vault .
Devante swing is the musical genius.and I love you devante swing.
Ladies sweat DeVanté or do he be sweatin' dem...?
I have the Forever My Lady album (on TH-cam) but not in it's original form since I had his CD in December of 01. Ma'am I feel you tho!
devante swing is a genius
The sheer GENIUS of Devante Swing!! ❤️
it is sheer. it's utter.
Yes
I am just now discovering this. Thank you! It’s an entirely different vibe when you listen to instrumentals.
YESSSSSS!!!!

THEIR HARMONIES WHO MESSING WIT JODECI...you can hear devante saying dont wait on im still waiting
Yeah. He's the beast and he don't even have U&I or My Phone instrumentals either man.
@@jaywad8876 u and I is one of my favorites
Just a little loooooove is allllll I neeeeeed.
Damn I never paid attention to the cry for you instrumental like that. Devante’s a genius.
Yes, the chord jumping and the vocal shacking gives us a rich, deep sound. I didn't realize what a master Devante is until after listening to these instrumentals.
That’s why it’s one of my most played Jodeci record! 🔥💯
4:20-4:55
Unforgettable !!!
Omg, this will stay on repeat, i love me some #jodeci !
Although I like females, Jodeci will always be my all-time favorite group since growing out of em since 2001.

So you're having my baby
And it means so much to me
There's nothing more precious
Than to raise a family
If there's any doubt in your mind
You can count on me
I'll never let you down
Lady believe in me
You and I
Will never fall apart
You and I
We knew right from the start, baby, baby
The day
We fell so far in love
Now our baby is born, healthy and strong
Now our dreams are reality
Forever my lady
It's like a dream
I'm holding you close
You're keeping me warm
If this is ecstacy
Forever my lady
I say just what I mean
Forever and ever
I pray is what I see
Can you picture my lady
This empty scene
There's no me or no you
What will we do
An awful sight to me
If I ever lose you
Tell me where would I go
Life would have no meaning
And I pray that you will always stay with me
You and I
Would never fall apart, baby
You and I
Said we knew right from the start
The day
We fell so far in love
Now our baby is born
Healthy and strong
Now our dreams are reality
Forever my lady
It's like a dream
I'm holding you close
You're keeping me warm
If this is ecstacy
Forever my lady
I say just what I mean
Forever and ever
I pray is what I see
Lady, you and I
Will never fall apart, no no
You and I
I say we made it
And I say we made it from the start
The day
We fell so far in love
Now our baby is born
So healthy and strong
Now my dreams are reality
Yeahhhhhh
Forever my lady
Ah yeah, baby
Forever my lady
Woo oooh
Said I pray every night, baby
Forever my lady
And every day of the week
