Not to be confused with versions of the same title by Stevie Wonder or "Babyface" Edmonds or-more recently- Nellie "Tiger" Travis, Kenne' Wayne's "Super Woman" has an oriental-style hook, which gives it a distinct, spare, almost-acapella-like personality. She can handle it, she can handle it all. There is more love for the tender sex expressed in the opening stanzas of "Super Woman," Wayne's latest radio single from the Who Is It? CD (G Street, 2004), than a bushel basket of other, more generic love songs. And "Love Down" is typical of Kenne' Wayne material in being complimentary, even lavish, in praise of women. In the songs of these artists, being "whipped" or "love-downed" is a guarantee that conjugal bliss will continue. The song's message-"She's got me on love down"-is a play on the jail phrase "lock down." The theme is reminiscent of "I'm Whipped" by Willie Clayton (another male artist who appreciates women),in which Willie sings: Indeed, before Sir Charles Jones' meteoric rise on the chitlin' circuit in the 00's, Kenne' Wayne was perhaps the first place a blues audiophile looked to find Southern Soul with a hiphop or urban-smooth orientation.īlessed with a rare talent for melody and a voice capable of projecting his tunes with clarity and passion, Kenne' Wayne hit "perfect pitch" with Love Down.
"Love Down" is an overlooked musical roundelay from a Southern Soul musician who started out at such a young age he still seems-a decade later-to be a youngster rather than a veteran of chitlin' circuit rhythm and blues.
