Biography

Born May 6, 1974 in New York City. She's an American singer-songwriter. A record deal with Elektra Records produced Davis' first two albums; Blame It on Me, which was chosen as one of Time's five best albums of 1997, and 2001's Fortune Cookies, which featured production by The Neptunes and Ed Tuton. Davis achieved a radio hit with the single "32 Flavors" from her debut album. The song is a cover version of a track written and previously recorded by Ani DiFranco. Blame It on Me stayed on the Billboard Top 200 for seven weeks, peaking at #157 in February 1998 and reaching sales of over 240,000 in the United States. "Murder", also from Blame It on Me, was sampled on Jay-Z's Vol. 3... Life and Times of S. Carter. After a guest appearance on the 1999 soundtrack to The Mod Squad, Davis left Elektra and signed a single deal with SME Records. She released the single "Carry On" on this label, and the song was featured in a Super Bowl commercial for Sony Electronics. Tired of major record labels, Davis went independent in 2005 and formed her own, label Tigress Records. She released a third album, Surrender Dorothy, on this label, which featured the single "Wide Open." In 2006, Davis toured with Thievery Corporation for a couple of dates as a guest vocalist.

LYRICS

Leaves change from green to red Without notes in tune with the time that surrounds I think that's something that you said Back a while when you first started coming around You and I are from different worlds But that just gave us more to share You'd ask me where I wanted to be And I was happy with you just being there Now I feel we've got some serious talking ahead And I don't want you to get me wrong It's just we've become kind of a habit to each other And this can't keep going on Blame it on me Over the past few months through no fault of your own I've grown disenchanted and I've got to go it alone Seems the natural thing to do Cause you can't cling to me If I'm not gonna stick with you Now take a look at what it's all coming down to You act like I'm leaving you on the shelf I don't know how else to say it Life's a game and we all got to play it So I've got to look out for myself Blame it on me All these changes coming on And I'm feeling it so strong You know they've got to be real It's hard to explain it baby I don't know if I can make it baby If I can't tell you how I feel I've been pushing it aside But I can't sacrifice my pride any longer I thought it would subside Something I could hide But it's only getting stronger Blame it on me
