Quickly feat. Brandy

The second I heard this song Quickly, I honestly thought it was genius. I won't get to deep into it but it was something I wish I had written. I also marveled at how I hadn't heard this subject matter sung about in other songs. I'm sure it has been, I just never heard those songs, and I doubt they were this damn catchy. If there is one thing John Legend can do, it's write a damn catchy song.

Quickly which features Brandy is off of Legends 2008 release Evolver, which is in my opinion his most solid album. There aren't many missteps on Evolver and Quickly stands out amongst the collection. Brandy's husky voice playing off John's sometimey falsetto is a great blend. Add to that the throbbing beat and the great lyrics and you definitely have a hit. It was surprising that this song was never released as a single. This song is "album filler", if you can believe that.

Whenever this song hits my ears, I can't help but smile. It hits like a refreshing drink and I quickly turn it up (see what I did there?). You should turn it up and enjoy!
