I'm nothing without you, I can't do anything without you. I know people would never tie these two songs together but that's how I felt it. That's what music does, it gives you your own different mindset, your own different opinion. "Smokey Robinson originally wrote it for the Temptations but the way that Al Green did it, it's the reason why I the recorded “Nothing Without You” in this way. Listening to Al Green's "Can't Get Next To You," Avant repeats a part of the lyrics, 'I can fly a bird in the sky.'," he says. The new album reveals the different facets of love, hurt and ecstasy with songs "Nothing Without You," a beautifully written ballad that was influenced by some of his favorite artists. I don't care who they are but understand their worth." Every woman needs to know their worth it. I don’t want to be the one to bump anyone out of the situation but I'm waiting patiently because I know their worth. "A lot of times, women need to know they are worth it. Addressing the issues that exist in relationships, the song breaks it down. In the song "Worth It," Avant doesn't shy away from the topic of moving on another person's woman.
Mid-tempo joints, "Irreplaceable" and "Worth It" is described by Avant as 'feel-good' and 'wake up' songs that prep you out of the house and hitting the streets. It might not be your story for verbatim, but your emotion is going to pull something from what God gave me." "I want to hear it because I'm a storyteller. I might start a conversation, or someone tells me what's going on with their life," Avant says.
"I thank God on everything because when I enter the studio, I don't always know what I'm going to do. With standout songs, "All In My Head," "Edible," and "Take It Slow," both written to appeal to a cross-generational audience-it drives home why Avant is a dynamic songwriter. That's what I was going with on this album." If we want to go back to the Ray Charles or Smokey Robinson era, it had a pinch of the true soul to it. He explains, "I'm speaking from our generation. The Cleveland native steps back in time with "Not Gone Lose," a tribute to an era which Avant elegantly conveys bringing us back to when ballads were the cornerstone of bringing Black families together. It gives you a feel of authentic soul music." I wanted to include old school R&B, with the harmonies and notes where they were placed with the horn.
#AVANT MY FIRST LOVE LYRICS FULL#
I could've made it a full R&B song, but I didn't want to make another "Separated" either. I wanted to make sure it had a hip hop feel to it. It makes you feel like, "Am I here for the kids, the bills-what is it?' I don't feel that presence of love anymore. "It's so many cell phones and distractions that take away your attention from a relationship. "I was having a spat with my lady," he recalls.
Not just making love but being in love, what happened to that? I think it's important that we delve back into those kinds of things."įeatured songs such as "You Don't Love Me No More" reminds us of the challenges of maintaining adversities in relationships, says Avant.
