Great song. I wouldn't call it a "love' song unless you're talking "After The Love Has Gone" type of love.

It's amazing how they changed his look before he started performing. On his album, he looked like a valley guy. He started performing and he had a high-top fade.

Easily the best song on his debut. I still have no idea how "Talk to Myself" became the big hit. disbelief

Because the record label thought "Talk To Myself" was "My Perrogative part2". Unfortunately Timmy Gatling is no Teddy Riley and the song sounded like a cheap rip-off (and that horrible Video that made Chris look like Al B. Sure had ate Vesta Williams). neutral

It was big because he was "pretty".

I agree. Now, I did like the song "Not A Perfect Man". It was a great song, lyrically.

I didn't like the Changes album too much. Andre Harrell and Diddy tried to turn him into a hip-hop star and he wasn't really that. I haven't played this cd in a while, so I might give it another shot.

I don't remember it offhand. I just remember "Dance 4 Me" from that album. I love that cut -- it has a little bit of a Marvin vibe IMO.

Anyone remember hearin a lot of stories about Chris not bein a pleasant guy?....Around the time of that 2nd album some said he had some issues with Andre or Puff so he went up in the Uptown offices and destroyed an office .....or the rumors that he (not Wesley Snipes) was the reason Halle Berry can't hear out of one ear....

Yeah, we've discussed Christopher and Halle here before.

I didn't know that he did that to Uptown's office, though. Not surprising. Especially since the guy released 3 major albums on 3 different labels. Most people stay with a label for at least 2 or 3 albums, not Chris.

Yeah I remember hearing that story.It was right before the release of his second or third album.He was pissed with the promotion and his declining album sales,so he went to the record label and caused a ruckus.There was even a rumor that he brought a gun with him,but I don't know if that's true.Dude has a serious temper problem.

I used to love this song. My friend and I used to sing off key to this one LOL.

He's in a play that's currently touring. I can't remember the name of it at the moment.

I'm surprised that song never became a single.It's one of the strongest tracks on the album.
