  • She was content to play her position in the background and never thought she would ever get the chance to be front and centre. Eventually she did, with much encouragement from her supporters, and experienced great success. However, at one point, she wouldn’t be heard from for many years leaving fans wondering if she would ever make it back to the centre stage again. Let’s find out what happened to American ‘90s Pop/R&B singer INOJ?

      [Verse 1]
      Boy you should know that
      I've got you on my mind
      Your secret admirer...I've been watching you
      [Chorus x2]
      At night I think of you
      I want to be your lady baby
      If your game is on give me a call boo
      If your love is strong I'll give my all to you
      [Verse 2]
      Everyday I pray my heart can win
      Every night I pray I can call you my man
      I need you
      I want you
      To have you
      Hold you
      Squeeze you
      So I'm going out every weekend
      Just to see my boo again
      [Chorus x2]
      These feeling I have for you
      Will go deeper if you can come
      [Verse 3]
      Correct with your game boy
      No No
      No you can't be late boy
      But if you can please me
      Then my love will come easy
      I'll do anything you want
      Freak me boy
      I'm thinking of you
      [Chorus x2]
      Boy you got all I need
      From what I see
      And boy everynight I am constantly thinking of you
      My Boo was the name of the song.

    Really enjoying these retrospectives of people who's CDs I still have! Hope you look into British R&B Vocal group 'Fierce'; They had great songs such as 'Right here, right now' and 'So Long' in 1999. Plus a really great cover of Anita Baker's song "Sweet Love", entited 'Sweet Love 2K'. Also Scottish singer 'Justin Osuji' who went simply by Justin and had such songs as 'Over You' and 'It's all about you'. I was such a fan, still have all his CDs. I can't find anything much on his career post 2010ish.

    Sorry to say this but INOJ just was NOT a great singer. Her songs, mostly covers, were bangers but mostly just for the beats and the uptempo vibe of all of them but nobody was ever talking about her vocals.

      Feel the same too. Pretty face but no blazing talent. Loved time after time better than the original but of her original works ... meh!
