Ginuwine -- "I Want You" --produced by DeVante Swing

[@BlackEffect]

Ginuwine is very slept on as a singer. He was the MAN in the 90s. Every dude wanted to be like him but all that aside he made powerful and beautiful music for our culture.

[@getitgetitb8518]

I was a little teenager looking at this dude move around wanting to move just like him and pull women like him. Good ol days 😂

Ginuwine can run through all these new R&B new comers, this man knows how to make music, He Is The Real King Of R&B no matter what other people says, imagine getting your hands on his music catalog, you will find lots of Gems and Ginuwine doesn't dissapoint when it comes to love songs.

[@VAswang]

Yes! He co--produced a lot of classic songs with DeVante. Usher's "Whispers", Mary J's "If Loving You Is All That I Have to Do", Tony Thompson's "Slave", among others.

These are 90 type beats period full of soul& bass & just ugh makes me wish I were born in ealier times so that this wouldnt have to be my generation -_-...after 2007 downhill in music in my opinion

[@gsmusic2009]

I noticed that Darryl Pearson doesn't get a lot of props too his contribution too a lot of this music. that cat was killing it on the guitars if I'm correct which created a lot of rythm and melody too alot of these tracks, part time lover is a classic and wasnt that him blazin the the gut!!!

[@Ardivilli]

They don't make music like this anymore. Great music! Devante is a genius!

[@HaRsHcAnDy]

Whoa not be rude, but ur info is all wrong, this was during G's year with Da Basement led by DeVante (Jodeci) it was recorded in 1994 along with the original Pony (not sure if its the same as the 96 version) for a possible Ginuwine album to be released in 1995 but never got released bcuz he and the rest of the artist left DeVante and signed better recording deals, and 100% Ginuwine was released in 1999 and Pony was on his 1st album The Bachelor released in 1996, no hate though

[@inexpugnabilis]

Damn DeVante (Darryl Pearson as well) and Ginuwine were such a good combination. Wish they had get along with each other and made more tracks like these. Still G had a great amount of good tracks with so anxious being my favorite one of the tracks being released, but this one is timeless imo. #ForeverDeVante

[@brendangrimes4780]

I love so many things about this song, vocals arrangement, the bass; I wish I made this one.

[@wagwan86]

[@neciohunt4544]

[@MARYSSON22]

Devante didn't produce HANDLE OUR BUSINESS off Tony Thompson solo cd but he did produce the song SLAVE off that cd and he didn't produce the Jodeci song off the MURDER WAS THE CASE soundtrack...That song was produced by Daz but Devante in my opinion is the GREATEST producer to ever do it...Props to Teddy Riley but D. Swing was and still IS the man

[@neciohunt4544]

facts!! I love tr but devante is on a whole nother planet!! they r the two best of all time in my opinion rap or r&b

[@laesteredicksonwillis23]

SANTINO SANTANA I agree totally, their never be another Devante Swing, he chose the right name for himself. I find myself searching the internet for anything he did and does.

[@nirajlal9469]

yup D and Teddy are the top two greatest producers ever!

[@MartyV_]

D co-produced Come Up to My Room.

[@dianevrules]

SANTINO SANTANA You must be going by the credits for Come Up To My Room. Daz is listed as producer. DeVante is listed as co-producer. In reality, Soopafly produced the song and played the instruments. Daz put his name on it and took all the writer and publishing ownership. DeVante produced the Jodeci vocals. Anything with Daz's name on a Death Row track, 1993-2000, was done with Soopafly doing most of the work and Daz programming the beat. Daz can't play instruments.

[@EsKiMozPiE]

Did Ginuwine ever bring this out???? He should have....the beat is hot and he sounds smooth as hell!!! Thanx for the post

[@HaRsHcAnDy]

1 of my favorite G songs, Its really sad this will be 1 of the only songs will get to hear with Ginuwine on vocals and DeVante on production :( they coulda made alot more good music 2gether but in the end Ginuwine's career took off in a positive way, & I'll always love me sum DeVante he is genius wit those instruments/producing

[@dianevrules]

I had this song since the 90s. This song was supposed to be on DeVante's private collection. Not Da Basement album. The track-listing in the description is a fan bootleg or some ish. Not the real DeVante's private collection track listing. The real album contained a lot of unreleased songs from all the people who left DeVante (Ginwuine, Missy, Playa, etc). Ginuwine didnt even want this song released. It was one of his demos that he didn't want to publicized.

[@VAswang]

Post some of those songs or the track listing if you have it.

[@yannicklaura6212]

Hi Diane V ! Do you have the tracklist ? As a die-hard D Swing fan, I have CD's and mp3. I got a few hidden gems. Would like to share if you don't mind.

[@steven1811]

Ginuwine is one of my top 5 singers, I am so glad that he came along at the time that he came. His voice was so perfect by the time he hit the scene in 1996.

[@kroshae]

When G's on t.v. he always gives thanks 2 devante swing.

i can see were timberland get his beat and style from u go devante

[@journalistjude.ginuwinesqueen]

Great song GINUWINE and DeVante!

[@LetzDoitAll]

@timfosho Tim didnt even have a signature style when he was in the basement. He gained his knowledge of music producing through The Great DeVante swing.

[@syddiallo]

Teddy Riley And Devante are contemporaries. Teddy debuted with Guy in '88. Devante debuted '91 with Jodeci. they were almost the same age, so how can u say Teddy is the musical sire of Devante. and they had different styles, and JDC's "Forever my lady" was way better than Guy's Album. even in the new jack swing department.

[@nirajlal9469]

diggitydazz11 Nah Teddy was a major influence...Dalvin confirmed in an interview that they loved the sound of Guy (Teddy's group) and KC also mentioned once that Aaron Hall is one of his fav vocalists..

[@Flizzypirate]

@@nirajlal9469 they loved the sound of guy but teddy riley was NOT devante's influence. Prince is the only idol and inspiration known of Devante's. He always appreciated other producers and artists but he was very self confident and KNEW he was the greatest producer and musician next to Prince

[@darrylpearson3332]

This is Darryl Pearson. For the record I wrote and produced this song and a lot more that the credits are messed up on. I am considering doing all of these over again and releasing them just because.

So Devante did not touch this one? It sounds like his drums and bass

@timfosho He was referring to those minimalist stutter-type beats on those songs, the ones that later made Timbaland famous. You can tell the songs that Timbaland influenced, and this isn't one of them. DeVante's style and Timbaland's style were obviously different.

[@elektroindi]

Heard that. Nice tune. My favorite Devante track had to be Montell Jordan - What´s On Tonight. That was an amazing combination and they should have done a full album.

[@MartyV_]

Read a LONG time ago - and I think it was DeVante who said it - but he and Montell Jordan had like 40 tracks together. The content was a bit too mature of Montell to move forward with releasing it.

[@ygkt1339]

Amazing news.. what’s on tonight I listened to that song every minute as a kid

[@elektroindi]

He did loads of non Jodeci songs. Half of Al B Sure Sexy Versus was produced or co produced by D. One worth checkin from that joint was Turn You Out. He produced tracks for Father MC, Tony Thompson, Mary J Blige, H Town, Jeff Redd, Christopher Williams and 2 PAC. He fully produced an album by Missy Elliot's first group SISTA and reportedly was working with Madonna around the time she dropped Ray of Light. He also did a track with Aerosmith believe it or not.

[@SuperHyphyOne]

This song came from a Priority Records promotional compilation. There are several other songs on the disc that weren't commercially released as well as this one by Ginuwine. Several years ago on ebay I was lucky enough to get an original pressing of this disc. BTW: since the people are demanding that DeVante make his return....There is another DeVante produced track on this CD.

[@SuperInspection]

@timfosho Da Bassment sound is the sound that Tim used to get his early success. It's in interviews with the people that were a part of the group and saw it all go down. Da Bassment sound was not solely DeVante, or Tim, it was created by all the beat makers of that crew. It was DeVante's vision, and I really wish it was a success. Tim would not have a style to try and claim if he was never a part of Da Bassment. That's FO SHO
