It’s classic sounds and stylings with the street wise credibility of today.”

This Chicago native was raised in a family of musicians and discovered that writing songs came naturally to him. At the age of three, Slique was fascinated with his Fisher Price record player. By 13, Slique was chopping up songs to create unique instrumental tracks that he’d rap or sing over. Within a few short years he found himself writing, arranging and producing for artists such as Entourage and Cherish, while working with Do or Die, Crucial Conflict, Public Announcement and The Producers. He perfected his unique ability to emotionally connect with his audience opening for major artists including Brian McKnight, Floetry, R. Kelly, Jaheim, and Tyrese.

Slique reflects on his career stating his favorite project thus far has been writing and recording his forthcoming album. “It’s a very versatile album and reflects my influences- Donny Hathaway, Stevie Wonder, New Edition, the Jodeci’s, Silk - if you like Gospel, R&B, if you like soul, Hip Hop, love-making music . . . it’s a variety of styles all on one project - it’s for everybody.”

Slique’s music reflects his unique outlook on life; relationships are a consistent and predominant theme. He sings about the experience of falling in love and then falling out or, occasionally, being kicked out. His sound is soulful and heartfelt speaking directly to, and touching the hearts of ladies everywhere. The single Your Body was the result of a stroke of inspiration while playing around with chords on the piano in the studio. He turned on the mic, came up with a whole Marvin Gaye vibe and let the lyrics flow. Your Body recently achieved 1 status on Billboard Magazine’s Bubbling Under R&B/Hip-Hop Singles chart.

“I’ve been working on this project for quite some time and to see it come into existence is great. I’m going to continue to make music, to be real, write what I feel from my heart and to be myself and hopefully people will appreciate that.”

Overall Meaning

The song "Dreamin" by Slique presents a series of vivid dreams in which the singer fantasizes about having romantic encounters with various famous women. The chorus repeatedly emphasizes the desire to remain asleep and continue dreaming, while the verses describe specific scenarios involving Alicia Keys, Ashanti, Janet Jackson, Beyonce, Mariah Carey, Keyshia Cole, Serena and Venus Williams, Brandy, Monica, Rihanna, Vivica A. Fox, Gabrielle Union, Olivia, and Shakira.

The lyrics are filled with sexual innuendo as well as references to the women's physical attractiveness and suggestive dance moves. The singer's tone is confident and assertive, indicating a sense of entitlement to these women's affections. The dream imagery serves as a metaphor for the singer's desires and ambitions, which he hopes to fulfill through his celebrity status.

The song's message can be interpreted as both a celebration of sexual freedom and a critique of objectification and idealization of women. On one hand, it acknowledges the power and allure of female beauty and talent, and suggests that there is nothing wrong with indulging in erotic fantasies. On the other hand, it also reinforces the stereotype of women as passive objects of desire, and ignores the complexity and agency of real women's lives.
