Fact is, he was making “go-go” beats for just about all them, and others in the game too … including Toni Braxton, Kelly Rowland and even Mary J. Harrison was a producer in the 2000s who was working a lot with Columbia Records - who had all these ladies under their roster in the early to mid-2000s. Of course, a proper timeline of events is necessary here to put things in context … as is an explanation of who the heck Rich Harrison is, because he’s at the center of all of this - and the main reason for the comparisons being made in the first place. With tracks of theirs like “Crazy In Love” and “Get Right,” respectively, employing similar break beats and drum patterns - some have even gone so far as to claim that B and J (Lo) actually hijacked Amerie’s whole aesthetic … and, thus, robbed her of her thunder.
The reason folks feel like that … her fans say this unique sound featured on the song, which is often referred to as “go-go” and was quite popular at the time, is one that ended up also getting used by stars like Bey and J Lo, among other female R&B singers back then. Here’s the deal … the 2005 track - featured on Amerie’s 2nd album, ‘Touch’ - resurfaces on Twitter every few months, like it’s doing now, with many arguing her mainstream success was cut short … and not just that, but that she was allegedly done dirty by the industry. Every so often, Amerie’s hit single ‘1 Thing’ crops up online - and like clockwork, a fierce debate gets fired up … inevitably bringing Beyonce and Jennifer Lopez into the convo.
