Sevyn Streeter Channels Aaliyah on Gorgeous New 'Before I Do' Song: Listen

Sevyn Streeter has professed her admiration of Aaliyah for years, and now she's embracing the late singer's effortless sound on new track "Before I Do." Sevyn muses about wanting to take a relationship to the next level, only as long as her man is willing to be vulnerable like her.

"I wanna let go / But don’t really know / I heard you got a girlfriend / Saying ain’t so / If you ain’t on the low / I don’t think I can handle it," Sevyn sings in a breathy cadence similar to Aaliyah's signature tone. The airy strums of the acoustic guitar and romantic harmonies elevates the song, drifting you to a time of blissful late-night phone conversations and sipping lemonade in the park with a high school crush.
