This song opens to entrancing music, soft but well executed ad-libs, and oh so seductive whispers. Vocally LeToya is at her finest, her pristine tone on full display even while she’s singing ever so softly. This is another favorite of mine, I’m especially in love with the melodies on the verses and the ad-libs; the lyrics reveal a side of LeToya that is both vulnerable and yearning, “when I’m lying all alone in my room, tossing, turning don’t know what to do…I need a you…I want somebody to come ease this pain, baby please tell me your name…I need a you.” Conceptually this is sung from the perspective of a woman who is lonely and seeking the comfort and intimacy of a special guy. The problem is that she doesn’t know who this guy is; the mystery man has yet to appear in her life, and subsequently this song is dedicated to “whoever you are, wherever you are.” As the song progresses, it’s steadily pulsating, and building towards a climatic conclusion.
When we arrive at the bridge, the oh-so-sexy electric guitars kick in, adding a new dimension to the music and sensuality of this record. “I Need A U” is an excellent example of how to make a song sexy and seductive without being raunchy. This song stays on repeat.
Singswell’s rating: I give this one 5/5, single material!
LNN Team: 4.9/5
