LMK Lyrics:
look, i give up right away
and you'll never figure out
what you said, but it's cool baby
imma get me another round
saw your face
in my lane
fall in love
everyday
you can chase it for the night
there's a place for you and i
let me know
it ain't that deep, either way
let me know
said i gotta go
don't wanna hear me say
let me know
no one’s tryna settle down
all you gotta do is let me know
you don't read between the lines
bout to leave can you read my mind
did you think you're my ride home baby?
cuz my girls are parked behind
saw your face
in my lane
fall in love
everyday
you can chase it for the night
there's a place for you and i
let me know
it ain't that deep, either way
let me know
said i gotta go
don't wanna hear me say
let me know
no one’s tryna settle down
all you gotta do is let me know
i saw your eyes fall right past my waist
so let me know
i ain't gonna wait if you hesitate
so let me know
i getting nowhere moving at your pace
so let me know
let me know

[@Bonitaymorena]

Kelela come thru rnb goddess of the future..... she took it back to the 90s and then took us forward to 2053 AD

[@ELCNUmorFnaMehT]

MsLoupe aka Bonitaymorena Shit just got real!

[@Bonitaymorena]

yeaaaas :D

[@vontebrown2537]

Msloupe,lol truth,im glad r&b is going back to the 90s lately with the soul,how 90s music had to bring the 60s and 70s soul back after all the 80s auto tune and thin voices just how the 2000s were,i can get in the mood with the girls I be talking too,and also reflect with this

[@Bonitaymorena]

yeah but there's definately futuristic elements to her music all of her past songs included. She's not simply trying to rehash the 90s she's bringing something fresh and new as well. I'm just glad her and SZA, and ABRA and Nao and NULA and KALi Uchis and Jorja and Ray Blk are popping off right now. RnB Renaissance girls come thru!!!!

[@vontebrown2537]

Absolutely, and you have the bryson tillers who's putting a lot of 90s songs in his music with a twist,bruno mars came through hard with his latest album,even rihanna snapped with anti,beyonce lemonade,solange a seat at the table,kehlani,sza new slick amazing album,jasmine Sullivan,mack wilds,ty dolla,childish gambino and plenty more helping bring R&B back lately

I remember listening to this song when i was in high school 5 years ago and now I'm 23 and i realize how many things changed in my life and how songs can remind you of such specifics moments and memories. She's an amazing singer and artist. Thank you kelela for being part of my life at some point throughout your amazing music :)

[@goldenxronnie3739]

How Kelela gave us 90’s and Futuristic R&B all at once. I’m ready for this new era of music. She’s finally back:

[@deedee_31]

yeeeeeees i was feeling the exact same thing im sitting up in my bed about 3:am in the dang morning watchn fresh prince martin and living single reruns on cable and going back n fouth watchn bet her playlist morning glow and next up videos haha as soon as i listen to the song and just let it play that little music piece and her cute little vocals on a certain part i felt like i was back in the 90’s and it felt good back when this world was a little better just a little well better than what it is now and better music when people really saaang but this song took me back and in a good way had my tummy tickling and everything i thought i was the only one so this young lady is hitting a note with all of us maaaan do we need more from her i loooove this song takes me back to when u can call those 900 numbers to vote for your favorite video like that lil group that sang that song forever and ever i will always be for you anquette yall remember them and then that techy vibe part it has now that pulled it all together please beautiful give us more keep giving us good music

She needs more recognition but at the same time I want to protect her from the basics. She is amazing 💖

[@dykingout2018]

katia veiga Yesss, agreed! She needs recognition but at the same time she's my little secret :P

[@jalahetuvyatkavyakti]

Don't worry, Warp will take good care of your girl.

Right though that’s how I felt with sza now look 😭😭😭 I still love her just these basic ass mfs that only listen to the radio

Love how she spends 90% of the video walking in the club. Like damn gurl you holdin' up the line!

[@Shaycey78]

i love the 90's R&B kinda vibe ♥

[@TheThirdChild]

Mr. Marshall I couldn't even take you seriously past your first few sentences. As if R&B is only for black people...And this is still better than a lot of the trash that's out there

[@farvezafridifaizurrahman6980]

+Mr. Marshall How about you fuck out of here?

[@richardmoody2683]

Daley Levine That's just how previous generations felt about the music in the nineties. Much of the same was said about 90's music. The art/music that came out in the 90s was just right for that generation much like what is coming out now is just right for this generation. In my opinion, there is a lot of really grest music being released today. You can see how much many current artist are influenced by 90s artist. An example of really great current music would be Sampha's debut album Process. I highly disagree with your assessment of Kelela. She may be different from what you prefer but that doesn't make her talentless.

[@lilachie]

Mr. Marshall what are you smoking 😂

[@bluevelvetcocaine]

Who hurt you lmfao

[@haute03]

She's givin me Mary J "Not Gon' Cry" mixed with Janet Jackson "Rock Wit U" with these visuals. I dig it.

[@suhaylah-3070]

Ok sis ur cheerleading came thru in this choreo w the flawless execution yaaas sis she's versatile she's dynamic

[@KayleeCee]

I don't know where I've been the last couple of years that I'm only just hearing this song now, but I'm sold. This is a vibe I didn't know I needed. This song sounds so fresh and new while also sounding retro and familiar It's refreshing to see great music being released by women my age. Don't get me wrong, I love what a lot of the younger women are doing too, but we don't get to see a whole lot of women in their mid 30s breaking into music. It's almost always legacy acts who have been around for a decade or more, or newcomers who are in their teens and 20s that are dominating the scene.

[@thedancingveganatheist6310]

No matter how we found it, no matter when we found it, we are extremely lucky to be able to experience this song.

[@emomu]

She's too underrated, it's unfair :(

[@queenofnairobi]

I understand you guy's frustrations but maybe she wants to experiment. I think it's okay to showcase versatility as an artist, it's great honestly to know you have more than one style. Plus you should always have an attention grabber for each project, which doesn't mean the remainder of the project will sound anything like this. I love the song, personally. Every artists deserves to evolve!

[@discountcoffin]

Exactly, people are so critical. It's dumb that fans of musicians put them in these boxes with restrictions on what they should and shouldn't do with their art. It's not all about what fans want, and some people forget that.

[@queenofnairobi]

Exactly!
