So, my helpful friend Consolecharlie/Dream101 asked whether Sunni released an album, and I figured it didn't exist. A quick search on Amazon revealed that it did indeed exist, and it was going for 99 cents! So obviously I ordered it immediately and received it quickly, all the better to share with you. I was not aware of Sunni until recently, where a couple of my fave freestyle sites posted her singles "Why Did My Baby Get Over Me" and "When The Shades Pull Down". I was instantly excited as I saw that my fave freestyle producers Mark Liggett and Chris Barbosa (of Shannon fame) produced the tracks, and the remixes they offered were awesome. Then I was directed to the video of "Why Did My Baby Get Over Me" and realized that the original version of the song was not very much like a Shannon freestyle song but more like her pop/R&B dance moments (and the video is a cheesy blast, BTW). The album is more in that vein (and Barbosa and Liggett didn't produce all of the tracks), though there are freestyle elements as well - more Pebbles/Martika than Safire, in other words. I cannot find a stitch of info on Sunni (I'll leave that to the resourceful Consolecharlie), but obviously her songs were not big hits, though hardcore old-school dance music lovers certainly have a fondness for them ("You Could Change My Life" and "Or Lose Me" were also singles). And this type of album is what this blog exists for, so I am thrilled to have discovered and acquired it, even if it is almost 20 years after the fact!!Video for Why Did My Baby Get Over Me
