1.	I Never Knew (feat. Speech) 05:15	lyrics	buy track
You and I is so fly when we get to going We even hot when it’s snowing yeah I can’t deny when you arrive there’s some nerve on me But it’s never in the moment Yeah When making love it’s above anything I’ve had even in my past and I love it Ha and then we get into a zone when its really on we be all alone and we jonesing The thing of it all is we just love to spend time Even when hanging with friends there’s a time to say bye Take em to the door wave hands one more time Even before it closes we intertwined We can talk about our past get a little sad Get in the Porsche hit the gas go into the mountains and Let the music blast while the stars pass Me and you we latched till it all passes That’s a fact man Uh uhh now I’m feeling like a baller a millionaire sprawler Our melanin is lawless Then we drive back and everything about that cancels out the wack, front seat moving to the back like whoa I never knew (never knew) I would ever see a love like this not me baby maybe some other dude I never knew (never knew) I'd become so jaded lately I felt like no one could save me like you do I never knew (never knew) I would ever see a love like this not me baby maybe some other dude I’m shocked I’m like whoa Who am I with you girl? It’s a whole other me When I’m with you its like dream I don’t know what I feel about it I’m filled with emotions I’m up in the clouds and Ain’t no worries ain’t coming down cuz I’ve been real down and I know all about it yeah People be talking like I’m whipped I don’t care lemme pull out the whip and lets dip tie your hair up People be staring cuz we sticking like some syrup We ain’t on IG only friends of ours can share us Trust no I’m not embarrassed Prince and Sinead O’Connor none can compare to us Plus when I see you I prepare to lust It’s nuts, how we get each other out of a shell In a rush and you can tell that its a spell that we cannot discuss and so we go into the mountains and Let the music blast while the stars pass Me and you we latched till it all passes That’s a fact man Uh uhh now I’m feeling like a baller a millionaire sprawler Our melanin is lawless Then we drive back and everything about that cancels out the wack, front seat moving to the back like whoa Chorus
2.	If I Was Your Man (feat. Michael Champion) 03:41	lyrics	buy track
Take a look around, tell me are you down Do you feel like your alone in this town Players come to play, but they're not here to stay I can love you better in every way It will all be different Girl you don't understand I'd give my soul If I was your man Tell me how you're livin' Course I've got the master plan I'd take control If I was your man If I was your man, if I was your man If I was your man, if I was your man I've been thinkin' bout, somebody tell me now How she got me open 'cause it's freakin' me out You make me loose my cool, girl with the things you do Girl you’re my religion, I’m believing in you You may think that I'm not your kind Believe me girl if you were mine You feel the same way that I do I'd show you the love that you never knew Chorus If I was your man, if I was your man If I was your man, if I was your man If I was your man, if I was your man If I was your man, if I was your man
3.	Dance In Her Eyes (feat. Chantae Cann & Dayne Jordan) 05:51	lyrics	buy track
Need a second glance, as she walks in Catch her if you can her secrets on her skin Hazy like the sunshine, does heaven have her name Whispering a wish along the way Given half a chance She’s safe with providence Left the vanity man, Searching for answers She’s stepping out of the rain Dance in her eyes Touch the fire don’t look down It’s a dream in the night And her feet won’t touch the ground She’s a breath away, just like the wind Her hidden yesterdays, already fading Hazy like the sunshine, light shadows still remain Praying it will never be the same Turns her face and tomorrow, is her destiny Left insanity man She’s swaying her chances, flipping the light of her flame Chorus
4.	Reel People feat. Eric Roberson - Save A Lil Love (feat. Eric Roberson) 04:56 video	lyrics	buy track
Won’t you save a lil love for me Cos your eyes tell me that I’m not alone, oh no Won’t you save a lil love for me Cos you and I we got it going on, oh yeah Won’t you save a lil love for me I know we just met but we dancing on the moon, oh yeah Won’t you save a lil love for me Cos saying goodbye right now will be too soon So, don’t let your heart run away from me Let’s find out what is possible Only time will tell girl, I know it’s unusual To feel this way so soon yeah, but know that your not alone Let’s dance till tomorrow, then will know Something about your vibe makes me want to learn you more Makes me curious to know what you might have in store For me if we carry on, let’s not get carried away I know that we just met, don’t let that get in the away Cos I, might feel this way tomorrow Cos I, might feel this way tomorrow Save a lil love for me If it feels so good why leave it on the table, babe Save a lil love for me Cos you want more and girl you know I’m able So, don’t let your heart run away from me Let’s find out what is possible Only time will tell girl, I know it’s unusual To feel this way so soon yeah, but know that your not alone Let’s dance till tomorrow, then will know Chorus Don’t let your heart runaway from me cos we might find more than What we both been searching for and whose to say what is possible Chorus

about

On 20th November 2020, Reel People roll back into town with their first original material in over a decade. The Dancing On The Moon EP, produced by core members Oli Lazarus, Mike Patto and Toni Economides, will lead out a brand new album, Love2, later this year. Weaving contemporary R&B vibes into the collective's classic, groove-fired flow, the album promises a powerful evolution of the Reel People sound.

EP opener I Never Knew is pure pomp, pace and purpose - fizzing bars courtesy of Arrested Development's Speech riding an irresistible cosmic groove in fine style and expressing perfectly the out-and-out euphoria of love. If I Was Your Man, fronted by Michael Champion, bounces standout R&B vocals over some seriously swaggering piano stomp and soul personality, whilst Atlanta songstress Chantae Cann applies subtle, silky finesse to Dance In Her Eyes. Here, Cann's dreamy vocals segue into moody synth-funk topped by Philly rapper Dayne Jordan's dextrous rhymes, adding further intensity to this time-honoured tale of fleeting dancefloor love. Save A Lil Love rounds the package off, New Jersey stalwart Eric Roberson as engaging as ever over a zinging future-soul fusion of spacy synths and pulsing b-line.

Dancing On The Moon EP tells us that the collective are totally back. New songs, new vibes, but the same soulful soothe, groove and sparkle. Upcoming album Love2 promises to build on this, with further guest turns from Raheem DeVaughn, Paula, Muhsinah and Darlene McCoy. Stay tuned for more Reel People music soon.

It's the one year anniversary of this album, so I think it's finally time I expressed how great I think it is. To this day I'm still addicted to it. I can't get "Where Do I Go From Here" out of my head, but almost every track is as good as the next, and none disappoints. My other favorites are "Sail Away" and "Touch the Star." gramblorf
