GoGo Morrow - Ready (Album)
Philadelphia’s latest R&B sensation GoGo Morrow is “Ready” to let her talents shine blindingly on her debut album. R&B is far from dead if we still getting earnest, heartfelt records like the 7 on here. Opening up with the soothing serenades of “Comfortable”, GoGo is doing everything she can to assure her partner that they are safe around her, safe enough to be vulnerable & let their guard down. Whether they over to make love or any other acts of intimacy, she’s there to make sure he’s comfy. Then bleeding into the modernist New Jack Swing number “Nu Nu”, courtesy of the legendary Teddy Riley, GoGo stops the floor to dance euphorically over her love & infatuation for her partner. She’s eager to find out more about him & continue to create new experiences in their relationship.
She may be a good girl but she ain’t obliging by the rules of what being one truly is & why should she after all the games she’s had to face being confined into a relationship. She feels he’s owed an “I.O.U.” before she just writes him off as another lost love. She knows it’s not fair to him cause he was probably a good partner, just not what she was looking for anymore. She needed someone new rather than the comfortability of being with this person. H-Money’s production is the smoothest for this sextion of her album, really giving her the perfect bed to express her sensualities & that Aaliyah reference on “Don’t Stop”, is for sure to heat things up in the bedroom for lovers worldwide.
It sucks when people would rather keep you hidden than to openly admitting that you two are official. GoGo ain’t having this. He only loves her when it suits him & if that’s the case, she suggests that maybe he just let her go so she can find somebody who can actually be what she needs cause right now, he’s just getting “In The Way” of that. Unfortunately for the new partner, she’s still hung up on her ex, so much so that everything this new person does continues to remind her of him but she’s doing her best to work through these trust “Issues” of hers. Ending things on a hard note with the Symba assisted “With You”, sampling Dre’s classic “The Next Episode”, she & he create a banger of an ode, dedicated to the sense of euphoria felt when besides the right person, closing things off with a high note on this stellar debut album from one of R&B’s most promising acts.
