    Athena shoulda been a star. That voice was something

    I think Athena was so hurt from what she and her group went through with Keith, that in her own way she was trying to make sure she got things right for her solo album especially with writing songs on the album. Unfortunately through bad management advisement things didn't work out when she went solo. I wish it worked out because she's so amazingly gifted.

      I'd have to agree unfortunately. Keith did a number on Kut Klose no doubt.

      Silk said something similar once.

    AThena sabotaged herself. Tim K. got that unc energy. Bobby V's Tim & Bob version of Special Occasion was dripped out. The 2007 version of that album is gooooood but it wasn't ex-cell-lent as the demo from 2006 that got leaked out hence why Tim & Bob and DTP had to scrap that version and redo it.

    The album does have a Janet vibe but "Turn You Out" and "Respect" sounds exactly like they were meant for Janet.

    Singers/artists Can get funny when the work that they've done is "too good" or they're too close to success. I've seen plenty "jump out the window" worried that someone is trying to steal from them when they're on the brink of success. 🙄

      true they get to feeling themselves a little hard at times they get their albums shelved scrapped or never released some become dissatisfied with the business altogether .

    Athena Cage can SANG! Janet there is no comparison.

  • @BC19929
    @BC19929 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    Yes that song is beautiful I keep replaying it. And yes I can hear it being a Janet song but the difference is Janet would panamize it live Athena would sing it Live.

    I always liked Athena & was waiting on her album.
    I didn’t know Tim & Bob handled the production. I sure enough would’ve enjoyed it.

    It’s funny how this video popped up. I’ve been listening to Athena’s Unreleased Album for the last two weeks! She def have some bops on there! “Take it out on me” and “Changed his mind” are my faves from the album! I really wish that album was on streaming services.

    I love Athena Cage voice and her vibe. I don't want to here her sound like Janet Jackson. Its almost kind of creepy

  • @BC19929
    @BC19929 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

    Some friends and I was talking and said make a singing group but you can’t say Whitney,Patti, or none of the greats. My group was Coco, Tamia, Athena and Latasha Scott

      That would have been one feminist of an album making man-hating records. Sorry. I would pulled a Andre Harrell and ignore them and let them fall to the sideline #uptown #motown LoL

    • @TheReal_E.IRIZARRY
      @TheReal_E.IRIZARRY 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That group wouldn't have lasted; Latasha would have pulled Tamia's hair outta her scalp and wear it as a lace front sew-in.

      ​@@TheReal_E.IRIZARRYelektra or any of those time warner labels would've shelved them so many artists got put off the labels or never released.

    Great Halftime Chat podcast again. Tim and Bob both have done excellent work for many years. This seems like this would have been another great, "Tim and Bob" success. As an ol' skool, "true and soulful" R&B producer myself from IL respectively, I ask Tim, what other avenues are there now for "true and soulful" R&B producers as myself"... to help it get out of the lime light, and help keep it relevant? We need "true and soulful" R&B back asap. I've always respected his "true and soulful" R&B style (respectively). 👊🏽👊🏽💯💯🎧🎧🎤🎤🎼🎼📀📀🙏🏽🙏🏽

      @musiclover-cn7tb 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I like Wanmor one of Wanya's son's sounds identical to him.

    I think her song from save the last dance is a gem too bad Athena didn't get her fair due

  • @DELERiiOus

    I can picture Coco or Brandy singing this

    • @musiclover-cn7tb
      @musiclover-cn7tb 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Me too especially Coko

    • @musiclover-cn7tb
      @musiclover-cn7tb 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      that's why I loved kut klose's slow jams on the debut because like coko Athena has a unique tone.

    The art of a woman! That album! Was everything it showed her in different range she has one track on the album call "Dream lover" and it's a very sensual song it reminds you of a Janet Jackson song and then she has another track on there that slaps called hey hey hey & he changed his mind Athena gave us an amazing album and a sad that she didn't get the commercial success as other female artists would like & Ashanti or chante Moore or even Kelly Rowland.

    Great song, even though I still believe that the best Tim & Bob unreleased songs are some of the ones they cut on Tank like "Superstar" or "Do You Remember"

  • @kingdavide.9250
    @kingdavide.9250 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    They should have gave that track to Bobby V. She kind sound like the female version of him. I've heard the track with Tank with the Bootsy sample. That song is dope . It was on a bootleg so called Tank mixtape CD. That was dope project. It also has a cut with Tank ft. Rick Ross called My Block. I really dig your platform. I'm a self proclaimed RNB Head. Lol.
