2. Not only this Smooth Jazz band shares same band name, they have a song called "Millenium"(2006) that is exactly same title (intentionally misspelled) as the other Incognito's (Jazz Funk) song on their album "100° and Rising"(1995), plus the logo resembles in font. The title "Every Day"(2006) on the album Street Smarts exactly alike in titles (when read) with the other Incognito's famous tune "Everyday"(1995). They are often tagged totec radio. Also mis-tagged by fans as bluey where there's no link to Jean-Paul "Bluey" Maunick himself. r00ts & t4lk1n l0ud tags also used, that could mislead fans to the Bluey's famous tunes like "Roots" & "Talkin' Loud".

Incognito Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And when I go it on my own, you'll remark that I'm neglecting you
There's too much to lose if I should stay around
Tonight and for the rest of my life, there won't be a compromise
To justify the lies
Now is the time(all the colors are faded)
Time to move on(and it's a story so jaded)
This is my time and I'm feeling strong
Maybe it's time that you step aside
There's no use holding on
Maybe it's time that you step aside
I'm happy at last and I'm feeling high
Maybe it's time that you step aside
Nothing's gonna stop me now
Should I be a little late, I'll be questioned and I'll be accused
And when you've been out through the night, and I gently ask
You, "where you've been?"
You trip out on me, make my world come crashing down
Tonight for the rest of my life, there won't be a compromise
To justify the lies
Now is the time(all the colors are faded)
Time to move on(and it's a story so jaded)
Maybe it's time that you step aside(step aside)
This is my time and I'm feeling strong
Maybe it's time that you step aside
There's no use holding on
Maybe it's time that you step aside
I'm happy at last and I'm feeling high
Maybe it's time that you step aside
Nothing's gonna stop me now
Now is the time(all the colors are faded)
Time to move on(and it's a story so jaded)
Maybe it's time that you step aside (4x)
Maybe it's time that you step aside
This is my time and I'm feeling strong
Maybe it's time that you step aside
There's no use holding on
Maybe it's time that you step aside
I'm happy at last and I'm feeling high
Maybe it's time that you step aside
Nothing's gonna stop me now
The song "Step Aside" by Incognito is about a controlling and jealous partner who constantly brings the singer down and accuses them of neglecting them if they try to pursue their own dreams and goals. The singer has finally decided to put an end to the toxic relationship and chooses to move on, even if it means leaving their partner behind. The singer realizes that they have the strength to stand on their own and nothing can stop them from achieving their happiness.
The lyrics speak to the universal theme of taking control of one's life and not allowing anyone to hold them back. The partner's jealousy and controlling behavior are forms of emotional abuse that are often overlooked in relationships. The singer's decision to move on represents liberation from the emotional bondage that they were living in.
Overall, the song encourages people to pursue their aspirations without fear of judgment or retribution from others. It is a powerful declaration of self-love and self-worth.

Incognito is my favourite group. I lived in London 20 years ago and I heard them on Jazz fm. I am Canadian but I still love their jazz funk sound. Craig R

I’ve seen these & BNH live! They are just fabulous. I was 8 months pregnant when I saw BNH and getting my groove on like mad!

Richard Bailey is a beast for playing that congas beat through the whole song. just one break.
ccfunk1
He is listed playing congas on the track. but if you say so. i'll ask Bluey if i get chance to talk to him again.
Darren Abraham
Hey bro the conga pattern is programmed there is no velocity in the part meaning dynamics 🙏🏽
Cheryl Elanie Clum
Love this tune. Love the bassist's intuitive, amazing riffs, his rhythm along with the percussion is complementary and just is spicy! Very good message.
