Freek'n You


"Freek'n You" is a song by American R&B group Jodeci recorded for their third album, The Show, the After Party, the Hotel. It was released as the album's first single in June 1995, by Uptown and MCA Records. The song was both written and produced by DeVante Swing, and peaked at number 14 on the US Billboard Hot 100. Listed by Billboard magazine as one of the best selling singles of 1995, it was certified gold by the RIAA for sales in excess of 500,000 units.
The official remix, produced by Mr. Dalvin, features Raekwon and Ghostface Killah. They performed the remix version live with Jodeci during the 200th episode of Showtime at the Apollo in February 1996. It features three models in the video: Veronica Webb, Beverly Peele, and Kara Young.

Critical reception

Steve Baltin from Cash Box wrote, "A slow and grinding tune, the first single from Jodeci's forthcoming The Show, the After-Party, the Hotel is a guaranteed hit, given the group's past success and the song's play it safe attitude." Mark Sutherland from Smash Hits gave it two out of five, viewing it as "smooth-but-tune-free slabs of R&B".
