Say My Name - EP

The Maurice mix is a great disco/house track. The Timbaland remix is a nice R&B jam in the vein of Aaliyah. The Daddy D remix is another urban mix with great bass. The original is a classic of course. One tip though, avoid the last mix featuring Kobe Bryant at all cost!

I remember going to Sam Goody in 1999 searching to see if a "Say My Name" CD single was avalible. I found two versions, one with just the album version and Timbaland remix, and the other was a maxi CD which has the same tracks as this EP. I chose the latter. The first track is the album version which is, in my opinion, the best track to come out of Destiny's Child or any of it's members. The next track is a Timbaland remix, which is a slow '90s R&B jam with totally different lyrics. The first verse is a conversation between Kelly and the late Static Major (who co-wrote much of Aaliyah's final album), and the second is between Beyonce and Timbaland. The third is Maurice Joshua's disco remix. While I like this mix a lot, I was kind of hoping for an anthem club mix instead of a slow disco one. Plus, all of Maurice's mixes for DC seem to sound just like this one. The fourth track is a hip-hop remix by Daddy D. It's a very good hip-hop mix despite the AWFUL rap. (I also had an import single with a "no-rap edit" of this remix, but that single did not have the Maurice remix on it.) The final mix is the same version as the original, except with a rap from the LA Laker's Kobe Byrant. Needless to say, this mix is the only skipable one. Considering four out of five of these mixes are good, I fully recommend this!
