Thanks to a recent social media challenge, the enduring legacy of Tevin Campbell‘s eternal classic ‘Can We Talk’ is speaking to an entirely new generation of music lovers. And, if the song’s writer – the legendary singer/songwriter/producer Babyface – has anything to say about it, that renewed love for the nearly 30-year-old tune won’t be stopping anytime soon.
Using it a sample of the 1993 cut for his latest single ‘Keeps On Fallin,’ Babyface tapped Brit-born R&B belle Ella Mai to act as assistant on the D’Mile-produced bop about the joy of falling in love over and over with that special someone.
“Every day like the first day / Still get butterflies, oh yeah / Middle of the night, we all the way, baby / Baby, Ain’t no looking ’round, I’m first place / So I love him even him on his worst day / He’s always there for me,” Mai sings.
And though the two are slated to perform at this year’s BET Awards (June 26), we can only hope it will soon be confirmed they’ll be giving this gem its first live treatment. Until we find out for sure, hop inside to hear ‘Keeps’ in full.

The fact that Face has irreplicable musical chemistry ONLY with Toni Braxton aside, masterful production but song needed a female singer with a higher tessitura to circumvent the snooze factor. Tamar coulda added a squirt of fire/life into this. . .lullaby. #zeroreplayvalue
Coming from a Normani stan lol. Ella Mai is on her sophomore album. Your fav is still teasing her debut album almost 5 years later. Ella is working & touring with legends, Norman is clout chasing at industry parties,
I’m a Normani stan? Lol
Risible.
If my username misled you, learn about “Portmanteau”. Only then will you understand how much of a peace-maker between 2 vehemently opposite TGJ parties my choice of username wording is.
