If You Ask Me, I’m Ready…
I had almost given up on AKeys. When her last album came out, “The Element of Freedom,” I was so unsure about the direction she was going in, that I didn’t even give it a full listen. Bogus, I know…but there was something different about her, and it took me a while to warm up to the changes.
That is, until I heard Un-Thinkable (I’m Ready). From the first moments of the song, I was hooked. I’m all about tunes that take you someplace, and this song takes me to a moonlit beach with the wind blowing softly on my skin. It is sensuous; hell, it is sometimes downright lustful. But in a way that makes you remember that love requires you to take chances.
This song is a reminder that you have to close your eyes, and leap off the cliff. No matter if the space below you is filled with jagged rocks and mountainous terrain…just jump. Someone might just be there to save you.
