The fingersnaps are the metronome; virtual snares to a nonexistent drum beat; but I think the song, as nice as it is, might be even better without them because there would be nothing to distract from the dreamy flow of the melodies.
This is lovely mood music, among the best produced by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, with celestial keys streaming and soft guitars strumming away in the background. It’s a fitting set for ocean-based romance if there ever were such a thing.
“You feel like my everything when you’re near my aura beam,” Janet Jackson croons in her signature whisper, “You make my heart sing.” With sweet nothings like that floating around, Truly In Love would’ve been a more accurate song title.
