美國黑人美豔舞姬〔凱倫懷特〕─New Jack Swing/舞曲流行曲──性感華麗的〔Romantic/羅曼蒂克〕
Ooh
Baby, baby
I wanna get romantic
Oh
Turn the lights down
Its time to get romantic
Light a candle
Its time to get romantic
Lets be romantic
Take me in your arms, caress me gently
Oh, I cant get enough, ooh
Thrill me, say the word, I will surrender
To your poetic charm, oh
Cause when the night falls
I hear seductive voices sing
Romantic songs of love
Lets get intimate
Turn the lights down
Its time to get romantic
(Do everything romantic now)
Light a candle
Its time to get romantic
(The night has just begun, so baby, lets be romantic)
Kiss me, I feel waves of steamy passion
Im burnin with desire
Baby, free me from the heat, my hearts on fire
Cause I still need your love
Under the moonlight
With the stars shining so bright
Baby, my mind is on love
When we get home tonight, ooh
Turn the lights down (Oh, baby)
Its time to get romantic
(Do everything romantic please)
Light a candle
Its time to get romantic
(I wanna get, I wanna get, ooh, romantic)
Turn the lights down (Turn the lights down low)
Its time to get romantic
(Do it, do it, do it, do it, oh, me and you)
Light a candle
Its time to get romantic
(Just into me romantically, yeah)
Just keep tellin me, oh, baby
Sweet ecstasy, oh, yeah
Whenever were all alone and I got this burnin flame thats in my heart
Cause I dont ever wanna stop
Baby
Oh, yeah

You got to work it every change you get
If you want romance
You got to work it, thats right
Oh, I-I-I-I
I wanna get romantic
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, yeah, yeah
Lets get romantic
在首張同名專輯大獲全勝後
1991年夏末 26歲的美國黑人性感美女凱倫懷特(Karyn White)終於推出睽違三年的第二張大碟〔Ritual Of Love/愛的儀式〕
這是凱倫的老公──名製作人 Terry Lewis與伙伴Jimmy Jam特地為她操刀的專輯
首支單曲〔Romantic/羅曼蒂克〕由兩位製作人與懷特合寫 為一首New Jack Swing/舞曲流行曲
在凱倫迷人的R&B嗓音與豐厚的合音襯托下
充滿一股令人難以抗拒的魅力
此曲擠下當時當紅的美國新天后瑪麗亞(Mariah Carey) 的三週冠軍曲〔Emotions/情感〕
讓懷特得到生平第一首流行榜No 1
此外還是節奏藍調榜冠軍(凱倫第四首) 舞曲銷售#3, 舞曲播放#6 英國#23
〔Romantic〕MV走華麗風格
只見身上掛了七八串珍珠項鍊的凱倫與一大群容貌姣好 身材健美的白人 黃人 黑人男女在鏡頭前展示著他們美麗的外表
MV攝影非常精緻 不曉得是否用柔焦攝製
讓畫面充滿一種柔和細緻 毫無瑕疵的色調
雖然單曲成績亮眼 但〔Ritual Of Love/愛的儀式〕銷售並沒有凱倫首張專輯成功
甚至有樂評說Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis簡直是把珍娜傑克森(Janet Jackson)〔Rhythm Nation/節奏國度〕沒用的剩菜拿來當專輯材料
這張大碟只拿到金唱片(50萬張)(凱倫首張唱片是雙白金)
似乎已預告凱倫走下坡的開始
Anyway , 〔Romantic〕是一首R&B/Urban 精品
