(11/3/99, 12 p.m. ET) - Neo-soul crooner Chico DeBarge released his sophomore album, The Game, last week to rave reviews. The first single, "Give You What You Want (Fa Sure)," is already No. 9 on Billboard's Hot R&B Singles & Tracks chart, and the video--directed by Billie Woodruff--is in heavy rotation on BET and The Box. The first verse to the song, which was co-written by singer-songwriter Rahsaan Patterson, gets straight to the point with its sexual content: "Baby, baby let's take our time/Cause if we gonna do it, might as well do it right/Lock the doors, turn off the phone/Shut the windows, cause girl it's on." During a recent interview with LAUNCH, DeBarge playfully owned up to the sexuality of the song. "Yeah, it's sex," he said with a laugh. "Yeah, I don't know where all this sex stuff is coming from. I got a lot of respect for sex. That's the answer." Patterson shared his sentiments on DeBarge and the song. "Nice guy," he said. "He and I co-wrote his single that's out right now, called 'Give You What Ya Want (Fa Sure).' I co-wrote that with him, a couple of months ago, with Soulshock & Karlin, after I worked with them for my album. It's nice." The Game also features collaborations with Joe, Brian McKnight, Bobby Brown, Doug E. Fresh, Andrea Martin, and Chico's oldest brother, El DeBarge. Features on Chico DeBarge, Brian McKnight, and Bobby Brown are available on LAUNCH.com. -- Karu F. Daniels, New York Got news tips, comments, or questions? Send them to newstips@launch.com.
