"Someday" is a song by American singer-songwriter #MariahCarey from her #selftitled debut studio album (1990). It is a #dancepop, #newJackSwing and #RAndB song. Prior to Carey signing a record contract, she and producer #BenMargulies had written and produced a four-track #demo which included "Someday". After signing a contract with #ColumbiaRecords, Carey began work on her debut album and she reached out to #RicWake to ask if he would produce the song.

"New Jill Swing" - appreciation for En Vogue, SWV, Tara Kemp, Ex Girlfriend, The Good Girls, Xscape et al. The music industry was less friendly to them than to Bobby Brown, Kid 'n Play, and Blackstreet.

I love the late '80s-early '90s era in R&B. So creative and fun, even while hip hop and movies were focusing on the (very real) issues of gangs, drugs, and incarceration.

I know they were kinda' disowned within the #HipHop lexicon for various reasons (thanks, KRS-One!), but it cannot be denied these chaps were fairly popular when #ConsciousRap was catching on. Even holds up, if you don't mind that #NewJackSwing era with a little more #RnB in it (thanks, Todd Terry!).
