Jade - Bad Magic

Copied!

She used to make confessions
To the priest who sat within
Now she believes in magic signs
And cards and stars and things

It's bad magic, bad magic game she's in
Now don't you try to understand her
She might just pull you in

She wears black shrouds and flowing veils
When you see her, you can't help
But believe those tales

It's bad magic, bad magic game she's in
Now don't you try to understand her
She might just pull you in, yeah

She was once full of pretty thoughts
Like books and flowers and hymns
Just lately we've all noticed
That the signs arе changing

Bad magic, bad magic game she's in
Now don't you try to understand hеr
She might just pull you in, yeah
You'll shake hands with the devil
Say hello to hell
If I was you, I'd let her
Play her game by herself

Bad magic, bad magic game she's in, yeah
Now don't you try to understand her
She might just pull you in, yeah

Biography

edit bio

The group Jade was originally composed of Joi Marshall, Angela Slates and Debra Mitchell.

Producer Vassal Benford sold the song “I Wanna Love You” before Marshall, Slates and Mitchell’s voices were recorded on the song. In order to keep the song on the soundtrack for the 1992 Kid ‘n Play comedy Class Act, Benford had to reproduce the song with the actual voices of the group members. When that could not be accomplished he implored the record label to drop Slates and Mitchell from the group and replace them with Di Reed and Tonya Kelly who were the voices on the song and who were signed to his production company. Tonya Kelly and Di Reed were signed on by producer Vassal Benford, and the group’s name was extended to Jade.

Tonya grew up in Chicago listening to jazz vocalists such as Sarah Vaughan and Nat King Cole. Joi Marshall was also from Chicago but was raised on Motown, especially Diana Ross. Di Reed grew up in Houston singing gospel anywhere she could.
