great song, although that snare reverb in the B section is so unnecessary and distracting.

hmm
Kind of feel like it needs more chord changes

Also do not like the name "Cool Uncle." But not bad, and need to give it a few more listens.
old Bobby Caldwell sounds awesome

I'm pretty sure there's just a little bit of autotune on his voice and it sounds weird me.

yeah i'm so surprised and impressed that this is a thing that it could probably sound like anything and i would love it

I'm already getting a Random Access Memories feeling from this -- neat juxtaposition of an older artist I like with nu-sounds, but ultimately falling a little short.

RIP :(
Bobby passed away here at home. I held him tight in my arms as he left us. I am forever heartbroken. Thanks to all of you for your many prayers over the years. He had been "FLOXED," it took his health over the last 6 years and 2 months. Rest with God, my Love. -Mary Caldwell— Bobby Caldwell (@bobbycaldwell) March 15, 2023

definitely have a soft spot for those first two albums, which i consider at least personal classics. rest in peace.

also for anyone else who didn't know what it meant, i looked into what being "floxed" is and... man, big sigh. i'm grateful he was in such a loving place when he passed.

Strangely I always thought the sample Common used on "The Light" was a Stevie Wonder song. Now I see it's Bobby Caldwell's "Open Your Eyes." This song is pretty much perfect.
