♫ Kandi – Fly Above
These past few months have been challenging for former Xcape member turned reality TV star Kandi Burruss, but she’s proving her perseverance with her “I Fly Above” EP available for download today (October 29th). Many were surprised that the star has not shied away from the spotlight following the untimely death of her ex-fiancée Ashley “AJ” Jewell, but she is clearly showing her strength and dedication to her craft, which is admirable. This sneak peak provides a lucid precursor to what we can expect from her upcoming full-length effort, B.L.O.G.
The title track “I Fly Above,” produced by Drumma Boy gives way to a straightforward crack at addressing her haters. “Trade Him In,” featuring current hot rapper Gucci Mane (whose rap delivery is pure comedy by the way) provides a pinch of cockiness to the relationship based songs that goes against the grain of Kandi’s somewhat mild-mannered persona. Despite trying her hand at a raspier tone, the song’s lyrics are catchier than Kandi’s actually performance itself. “Must Be Good,” is undoubtedly the most contagious track on the EP and by far the most relevant and personal as she wrote it about the Internet fodder surrounding her relationship with AJ. Lastly the indecisive “I Like Him” feat. Rick Ross and Rasheeda and the syrupy “I Just Know,” round out the EP.
Although nothing on the record is earth shattering in its musical appeal, Kandi does have a knack for making catchy music. After all she did turn “Tardy For The Party” from a hilariously boring track to a less annoying dance song that found its way on the top 10 iTunes dance charts.
Be on the lookout for her full-length album ‘B.L.O.G.’ next year and the EP is available on iTunes now. Also make sure to tune-in to the ‘Housewives of Atlanta” reunion show tonight on Bravo.
Ms. Latifah, are you the new staff on CL? Welcome then.
I like Kandi and her song is better than “Tardy for the Party” by the other chick. I hate their reality show but I can see how it’s addicting.
Kandi’s record deal to-do list:
*sacrifice fiance- check
*oath to the baphomet (Satan)- check
*promote the Illuminati’s robotic/dehumanization agenda- check
You can fool the masses, but you can’t fool God. Everything that is done in darkness shall come to Light.
That reality show worked well 4 her. She is a gifted artist. U got 2 move on when U lose someone
Love this song and Lover her personality… I will support her.
I used to have a crush on Tiny but it looks like Kandi should’ve had my attention because she still looks good while Tiny looks like an ex-meth head. Go Kandi!!!
I LOVE THE SONG … AND 2 THE PPL WHOS DISSING THE SONG … SHE’S FLYING ABOVE ALL YOU HATERS!!
I never liked this song.
Am I really the only one who finds it extremely odd that this woman is out here promoting a weak azz album and all types of stuff days after her ex fiance was brutally murdered?? WTF these pple are getting blatant with their sacrafices and rituals!! This is not cool-Wow. What happen to taking time off to grieve?? If anything, out of respect for the brother’s children and family!! This is disturbing and should be an eye opener-the secrets are out now…it’s up to us to find the TRUTH. PAUSE. SMH and praying
i like kandi fly above it help me that why i listen to help me get though alot of stuff and u can be some other person in your mind (added by Mobile using Mippin)
deaddd.. that ain’t nobody but Angel posting..
Anyway, This song is so dated, but I still like it.. Her vocals sound great especially the ad libs at the end. Really everybody always singin about haters, but it’s kind of a timeless subject. We will always have them. Now let’s move on to other relevant things lol
I love Kandi and I was her biggest fan when “Don’t Think I’m not” came out.. I didn’t even really know a lot about who Xscape was lol! but I had to backtrack and discover their gems too!
That photo idea is/was hot!
This is cool. Ain’t nothing to get me all hyped and excited, but I do wanna hear more from her.
Hi-5,buddy! I like Kandi she’s a true hustler! I admire that.
kandi can sing real sweet……
I got Love Her sooo much!!
I support Kandi in anything even if ahe wants to sell newspapers…seriously !! ;]
Srry for Kandi’s loss of A.j., he seems like a wonderful person!!
this helps me not take life for granted!!
luv ya gurlie …KEEP YA HEAD UP
IM TRYNNA GET THIS AS ME & MY MOM RING BACKK!!
I love me some Kandi!
I hated the song at first because it sounds like everything on the radio, but the lyrics and her voice is incredible.
I cannot wait for her 2nd album. I still bump her first album on a daily basis.
i’m not quite understanding what others mean when they say this sounds like “every other song” on the radio. isn’t that the point? it’s today’s music. it’s not the same song as another other song, it’s just a similar sound. and to the haters. seriously, get over yourselves. it’s worthless for you to even waste your time typing a comment. everyone just looks at you as being ignorant and unintelligent. besides, we don’t see you out there trying to make something like she has. just give it up, you’re nothing but a waste of sperm and egg.
YES!!!!!!!!!!! This song is FIRE FIRE FIRE!!!!!!!! Her voice is unique and beautiful
welcome back boo hot song cant wait for the rest it been a long time come but iam glad i waited
