I remember hearing this song in Tower Records in the 90’s and I had to find and buy the album. I was not aware that it was Cree Summer from A Different World, nor did I know that she was a Lenny Kravitz adjacent artist.
The manuscript Blue Lines is the fictional coming of age narrative of a young California woman Key Yemaya Walker, and her 2 year growing journey through school, love, and life period piece, written by Kenneth Suffern, Jr., taking place at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill between the years of 1997 – 1998. Loosely based on true events, and experiences during that time, told through the eyes and voice of the main female protagonist, a freshman first attending the school.
