The night before we recorded ‘Say Yes’ together, so it was a kind of magical week. I loved what he did with Jill Scott’s album. Three years later I get to Philadelphia and start working with Andre Harris. It was that simple, that initial feeling. It was about a boy I had a crush on that worked at McDonald’s. “I first recorded ‘Butterflies’ in London in 1997. “Butterflies” (Michael Jackson, “Invincible,” 2001) I knew it was a great song in the studio. I was playing when I did it and Timbaland kept it. I sang that ‘You don’t have to say, what you did”, did the outro. I went into the booth, matched my vocal with Justin’s and did it a couple of times to get the feel, which is why barely anyone knows I’m on the song because we sound the same. I’m listening to what is this phenomenal song and at the time it didn’t have the hook all the way the outro. He said he had this song that had a couple of missing elements that he thought I could fine-tune. Timbaland sat me down to see where my head was. “They were recording in Philadelphia at the time. “Cry Me A River” (Justin Timberlake, “Justified,” 2002) “Getting Late” (Floetry, “Floetic,” 2002) It just so happened music was my Plan B and I’m thankful that worked out. I didn’t know tearing ligaments would tear up my dreams and I’d have to find out what my Plan B was. I didn’t know basketball would never be in my life. ‘Run’ was about me fulfilling a dream I didn’t know existed. But it really started as an emotional-based, nonconventional song. What used to be the bridge is now the hook - we flipped a couple of things around. Once the music was together, I could only hear one word, ‘Run.’ It’s just about running away, or running towards. I got at the piano and … it started to write itself. And I remember everyone feeling that sense in the room. There had been a death in the family and it was one of those days where you either get up and get on with your life, or not. “I remember it being somewhat of a solemn day. The singer-songwriter - formally known as one-half of the neo-soul/spoken-word hybrid Floetry - had already crafted tracks for Michael Jackson, Alicia Keys and Jamie Foxx before she broke out with her solo debut, 2011’s “Late Nights & Early Mornings.”Īhead of her follow-up, “Friends & Lovers,” and a slot at the 2014 BET Experience (she plays Friday alongside Maxwell and Jill Scott), Ambrosius told Pop & Hiss the stories behind some of her biggest hits.
