They released the follow up album Saturday Night in 1997. The release featured the hit single "Request Line." A remix with different lyrics and raps by Queen Latifah followed.
Given a high-profile spot on the all-star compilation Roll Wit tha Flava as their first recording opportunity, Zhané lived up to the pressure and came away with one of the hip-hop party anthems of all time, "Hey, Mr. DJ." Jean Norris and Renee Neufville initially met while both were studying music at Philadelphia's Temple University (Norris is originally from Rhode Island, Neufville from Jamaica). After meeting Naughty by Nature member Kay Gee, Zhané impressed the producer enough to go right into the studio to record for Roll Wit tha Flava. When "Hey, Mr. DJ" was released as a separate single as well, it hit number six on the pop charts and earned the group a contract with Motown in 1994. Their debut album, Pronounced Jah-Nay, produced two further Top 40 hits ("Groove Thang," "Sending My Love") and went gold by the end of the year. Zhané kept busy during 1995-1996 with spots on tracks by Busta Rhymes and De La Soul as well as new songs of their own on the NFL Jams and NBA 50th Anniversary compilations and the soundtracks to Higher Learning and A Low Down Dirty Shame -- the latter, "Shame," became their fourth Top 40 hit. Norris and Neufville returned with a new LP in 1997, co-produced by Kay Gee, Eddie F., and themselves. It peaked just outside the Top 40.
Sending My Love
Zhané Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Right to you, I would
I'd pack it up, seal it tight
And I'd send it over night
Every time I hear your voice
And I look into your eyes
Sends a burning sweet sensation
The look in your eyes
Has found me
I am sending
Sending my love to you
Praying that you are home
Sealing it with a kiss
Sending my love
Sending my love to you
Praying that you are home
Sealing it with a kiss
Sending my love
With my heart in your hands
I'm as helpless as a baby
I'm in desperate need of your love
So just send it right away
I've been thinking bout you, boy
Because you're so far way
Makes me want to send you all this love
Inside of me
The look in your eyes
Has found me
I am sending
Sending my love to you
Praying that you are home
Sealing it with a kiss Oh, ho
Sending my love
Sending my love to you
Praying that you are home
Sealing it with a kiss With a kiss
Sending my love
If I could mail my heart
Right to you, I would
I'd pack it up, seal it tight
And I'd send it over night
"Sending My Love" by Zhané is a soulful ballad that describes the intense feelings of love for someone who is far away. The song's opening verse conveys a deep desire to be with the person, to the point where the singer is willing to mail their heart to them. The chorus repeats the phrase "Sending my love to you" multiple times, emphasizing the longing and urgency a person can feel when separated from their beloved.
The second verse reveals that hearing the person's voice or looking into their eyes produces a strong physical sensation within the singer. Love is described as a "burning sweet sensation" that consumes them. The bridge repeats the phrase "The look in your eyes has found me," suggesting that the singer has fallen deeply in love with this person and can't imagine being without them.
This song is a testament to the power of love to overcome distance and separation. It portrays the vulnerability and yearning that people can experience when they are apart from the ones they love. The repeated use of the phrase "Sending my love to you" creates a sense of urgency and desperation, while also conveying a message of hope and determination.
