Dionne Farris

Everything's so crystal clear now
All I needed was time
Everything's so crystal clear now
I've cleaned my mind

Now the sky has opened
There are no limits to this
Let me feel the passion
That I know exists when you're with me
'cause I can feel it when you look at me

And baby, that's about the time
Your lips touch mine
Feels so good when we intertwine
Like the motion of the ocean
The feeling's like no other

Passion is with me

Touch my heart, touch my soul
Lead me into the light of a new day
Touch my heart, touch my soul
Lift me up into the wonder of ecstasy

I am here to explore
Do as it pleases us
And there will be no resistance
So come on in and let nature take its course
This is what we've been waiting for
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Alternative R&B singer Dionne Farris was born in Plainfield, New Jersey on December 4, 1969. She got her start performing lead vocals for Atlanta-based hip-hop group Arrested Development, most notably appearing on the group’s top Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop chart hit, “Tennessee,” featured on the group’s critically acclaimed debut album, March 1992’s 3 Years, 5 Months & 2 Days in the Life Of…, Farris eventually parted ways with the group’s leader Speech toward the end of 1992, due to reported tensions and creative differences. She was sought out by American Idol’s Randy Jackson and accepted his offer to sign with Columbia Records.

She released her debut album, October 1994’s Wild Seed – Wild Flower, which featured the 1995 huge hit, “I Know,” the single charted at No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and earned her a Grammy nomination for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance in 1996. Her follow-up, For Truth if Not Love, was delayed by ongoing record company problems and Farris wanting out of her Columbia contract. The album was eventually released on December 18, 2007 by Music World.

Subsequent follow-up albums, April 2011’s Signs of Life, February 2013’s Dionne Get Your Gunn, November 2012’s Lady Dy, The Mixtape pt. 1, and her latest effort, February 2014’s Dionne Dionne, an album of Dionne Warwick covers with Charlie Hunter released independently on Free & Clear Records.
