Song of the Week - Just Can't Let You Go

Even I am not able to escape that feeling of summer. Every now and then a song that spews out pure summer vibes comes out and nobody can deny it. Manika has combined forces with Lil Twist to have that perfect summer tune this time.

The song exudes that feeling of 90's summer, watching MTV exclusively and running around the neighborhood with my friends because there was nothing better to do. The song just makes you want to get up and dance. Her singing may not be perfect, but it's all part of the experience.

I was actually talking to a friend yesterday about when it is appropriate and when it is not appropriate to have a rap tossed into the song. Some songs (and again, I bring up E.T.) were perfect on their own, but some just need that extra boost. This song is actually a lot more full sounding with Lil Twist's verses placed in it, and he gives the second half of the story missing from the version with just Manika. You can get both versions of the song, as well as the music video, here.
