Kandi Balances Her Reality-TV Fame With Her Lack Of Desire For Drama
Kandi Burruss, the former member of Xscape who is currently best-known for her star turn on Bravo’s end-of-the-nu-gilded-age chronicle The Real Housewives Of Atlanta, has self-released a new single that will apparently serve as the teaser for her forthcoming album B.L.O.G., which will reportedly have guest spots from the likes of Rick Ross and Missy Elliott. The album is apparently going to be all about what it’s like to be famous—the acronym in the title stands for “Bitches Love Online Gossip”—and the first single, “Fly Above,” is a keyboard-drenched track about how she doesn’t pay attention to those people she deems “haters,” simply by flying above them and theirassortment of issues. Wait, so what does it mean when she’s writing songs about said haters and releasing them to iTunes? So confusing, this modern world in which we live. Clip after the jump.
I suppose I should be nice, since Burruss’ ex-fiance was recently killed in a fight at a nightclub, but it seems strange that this single was released in the wake of his death, doesn’t it? I mean, maybe certain pieces were already in motion, but still, yuck. To end this post on an “up” note, here’s Kandi’s fantastic 2000 single “Don’t Think I’m Not,” which is making me feel a newfound nostalgia for songs that were written in the pre-fameball era:Kandi – Fly Above [YouTube] Kandi-Don’t Think I’m Not [YouTube]
