If "I Wish U Heaven" & "Wherever U Go, Whatever U Do" slept together and had a baby, that song would be it, musically.

Very much a Prince style track. Raphael Saadiq produced this joint!

May have to add this to my "Straight Jacket Funk Affair" Vol. II mixtape. Only will have 2000's funk on it. I didnt know Raphael was behind this btw.

I dig most of her material.

She has had a host of bad luck trying 2 get "put on".

I just played her The Pendulum Vibe yesterday and have to agree, seems like the people she was around just didn't wanna push her into some kind of stardom. Joi's remained underground though so I have to admire that.

I believe she was part of Organized Noize.

Nah, scratch that, I think she did some collaborations with them, Outkast and Goodie Mob but I think that's as far as that goes.

That's right! She was in Lucy Pearl after Dawn was fired from the group.

Joi is a self-possessed woman. I'd love to see her as a stage guest but other than that is asking for trouble.

Joi and Prince would butt heads on the first day of rehearsal.

She only served in a live capacity then? Lucy Pearl didn't record another album did they?

Yep. Lucy Pearl disbanded before re-assembling another album. Something had to do with Raphael and Ali Shaheed having problems.

Joi performed at Paisley Park back in the day when her first cd The Pendulum Vibe
