    Now Keeyen returns with a new song that captures old school vocal arrangements with a modern touch. He tells us about "Show Me": "'Show Me' is a love song I wrote in undergrad 2 years ago, capturing this amazing young Spelman women. I was a man of Morehouse that was love struck and compelled by her. I put my feelings in this record. 'Show Me' pulls from old school elements of barbershop doowhop, finger snaps, piano chords, organ and multiple instruments. This song came from an honest space and creating it just flowed. I truly think this song highlights my sound, a very R&B/Soul feel with a new school edge. I can't wait for people to sing it!"
