After "I Love Your Smile", Shanice continued to record albums, including 1999's Shanice, produced chiefly by Babyface. While she has not achieved significant commercial success with her later albums, she is acknowledged as a talented singer and many of her songs appeared on various soundtracks. She also sings backup and does studio sessions and can be heard on Toni Braxton's song "Unbreak My Heart". She can also be heard making vocal contributions to various games. She is married to actor/comedian Flex Alexander, with whom she has two children.
Not a stranger to taking long gaps between albums and singles, "Every Woman Dreams" finally emerged in June of 2005. The single is currently doing moderately well, and Shanice is now signed to IME Records (which is distributed through Universal/Motown). After several pushbacks, her fifth studio album (titled Every Woman Dreams) will be released on February 21, 2006. The video for "Every Woman Dreams" was released in December 2005 and is in current rotation on music networks like BET, MTV and Vh1.
Ain't Got No Remedy

And it feels like hell baby
Without your love, your love
And I'm no good less I'm around you
Like you can't tell baby
You all I want, I want
I get up and I, pick up the phone and
Everyday I seem to lose a little bit of my mind
I want to let you go boy, but I
[Hook]
Ain't got no remedies baby
It's all 'bout you and me baby
I feel up, I feel down
I feel all together emotional
Ain't got no remedies baby
I got it bad you see baby
I go in, I go out
I get all together emotional
My heart can barely beat without you
What is this spell baby
You've got me on, me on, me on
Can't make no sense of things without you
It never fails baby
Your love's so strong (your love's so strong)
Well I can't eat (I can't see), I can't sleep (I can't eat)
I can't think (I can't think), I can't even speak
Everyday I seem to lose a little bit of my mind
I want to let you go boy but I
[Hook]
I can't stop (I can't stop),
I can't go (I can't go)
Somethin' like that I can't control
It's takin' over me, it's gettin' under me
But I can't let go, 'cause I love you so
I can't eat, can't sleep, I can't hear, I can't see
Can't think, I can't dream, I can't even speak
I swear I'm 'bout to lose my mind
I want to let you go boy but I
[Hook]
Shanice's song "Ain't Got No Remedy" is about a woman who is feeling incomplete without the person she loves. The song describes how the absence of love can make someone feel like they are losing their mind. The singer of the song is lying alone, and without the person she loves, and it feels like hell. She is no good without that person, and she is constantly thinking about them. She picks up the phone and dials their number, hoping they are still within reach.
The singer confesses that she is losing her mind bit by bit every day, and while she wishes to let go of this love, she can't. She admits that she feels up and down, that she feels every emotion. Her heart can barely beat without the person she loves, being without them feels like a spell that she can't break. She also states that without that person, she can't make sense of things. The singer is affected physically as well, she can't eat, sleep, see, or even speak. She is about to lose her mind and wants to let go, but she can't.
In essence, "Ain't Got No Remedy" is a song about strong feelings of love between two people. The absence of one person from the relationship can result in the other feeling incomplete, helpless, and emotionally unstable.

Tonight I'm lying here without you
I am currently in bed without you tonight
And it feels like hell baby
It feels terrible without you

I wake up and immediately call you
Then I dial your number, praying that you ain't gone
I pray that you haven't left me

I can't move on because I love you
Can't eat, can't sleep, I can't hear, I can't see
I'm consumed by my emotions
Can't think, I can't dream, I can't even speak
I'm completely overwhelmed
