I wish there were more artists like Atlanta's own Lloyd. He puts some life into a genre struggling to find its place (that's what I think...how often do you hear an R&B song playing in a club?) How does he do this? With a touch of magic, or as we humans know it, jazzy, borderline theatrical elements that make his tracks danceable. What's the best of the best? "Dedication To My Ex," with Andre 3000 on guest rapper duties.
There are female artists who wish they could hit the notes Lloyd does, first of all.
This is a song about heartbreak (where has the loving gone?), but you wouldn't know it from the up-tempo beats. Everything should have this kind of jazz to it. Along with Mr. 3000 hanging around, Lloyd also has the help of a chorus who shine repeating I miss that loving, that loving and oh no near the refrain. Don't worry, Lloyd. You're better off without whoever broke your heart.
