The mid-tempo pop song tells the tale of loving that special someone who doesn’t know you ex ist. “This was the first song we re corded for Motown andjust felt from day one that it was special,” explains Nick. Signed to Motown by label Presi- dent/CEO Andre Harrell, 98 deliver an album rooted in harmony and have created a sound that is all their own. In addition to working with Tricky and Sean, 98 recruited the talents of songwriters and producers Rashad Sm ith(702, total and Seal), labelmate Mario Winans, and early supporter, Def Jam recording artist, Montell Jordan. Looking to become part o f the Motown legacy, 98 is working over time this summer to spread the heat. The group is currently on a summer tour of cheerleading eamps, will spend the month of August perform ing at the Six Flags amusement parks nationwide, and have just been con firmed to participate this fall in Sev enteen Live, a national mall tour spon sored by Seventeen magazine. So as the temperature begins to rise, remember it can’t get any hotter than 98 this summer! I------- ‘F -------- 1 How a pair of scissors I can save your summer. I I I I I I I I I I I I !
