In case you were wondering, Sanaa Lathan is indeed a triple threat. She’s beautiful, she acts and who knew…. but she can sing too.
On her debut track – inspired by Michael Ealy’s character in their new film The Perfect Guy (not Matt Barnes despite his recent stalker-ish behavior in the headlines) – she takes aim at “emotional n*ggas.”
“Baby why you call so early / Always trying to check up on me / Sending all these messages to me / Keep it up you’ll never know me / Fall back and let me miss you,” she sings.
In an interview with Yahoo!, Detail revealed that the track was recorded just two weeks ago, and stemmed from a conversation he had with Lathan after seeing the trailer for The Perfect Guy.
“I was looking at the trailer and I said, ‘Wow. That’s an emotional n***a,” Detail said. “Everybody started laughing and Sanaa said, ‘Exactly.’ The song came out so good, we just got excited and she said, ‘Hey, I want to make this a woman thing.’ We sent it to Dej Loaf and she went crazy like, ‘I love this record.’ She recorded it when she came out for the MTV VMAs. This was like 14 days ago.”
