Music video: M-Flo featuring Miliyah Kato - Lover

M-Flo's 6th studio album Square one was a fucking mess. It genuinely upset the shit out of me because every album of theirs up until that piece of garbage had been good and enjoyable to listen to. But Square one was a train wreck, with only one good song on that whole album.

Despite talk that the M-Flo magic was long gone and that M-Flo were breaking up, they are coming back with a new album Neven due on March 13th and it will be littered generously with guest features. As with Square one the guest artists are not being credited for the sake of maintaining some mystery, but they aren't being kept as much of a secret this time around. The CD single for "Lover" features 2 additional songs; both of which are credited as featuring Miliyah Kato, leaving fans to assume the mystery vocalist on "Lover" at the time was also Miliyah. And the release of this video confirms that the vocalist is indeed that ghastly looking snaggle-toothed hispter.

The song is a nice departure for M-Flo, dating right back to their sound when M-Flo were a trio with Lisa in tow. A sign that perhaps Neven will be back to old school M-Flo again? I sure hope so! I pray to Yevon that Crystal Kay, Namie and BoA get features on this album. It goes without saying that Minami of Cream will be all over this shit. The ho always is. I kinda feel sorry for her that she put her foot so deep in Square one, only for everybody to hate that album and for it to flop. If it's any consolation to her, I loved "All I want is you".

The song and video both remind me of Namie and Verbal's collabo "Lovin ' it". Only, much better; because Miliyah manages to keep all of her notes in key.
