Welcome back to another Kandi Crush Battle, and baby, this one is for the R&B lovers! We are talking about two voices that know exactly how to make you stop, listen and maybe even think about somebody you probably shouldn’t be thinking about! Today’s battle puts Glenn Jones against Howard Hewett, and when you put these two gentlemen in the same conversation, you already know we are about to have a GOOD one.
Glenn Jones opens this battle with “I Been Searching,” and that song takes me right into that space where you are looking for that person who feels like they are supposed to be in your life. Then Howard Hewett comes through with “Heaven Sent,” and honestly, Howard has always had that ability to make love sound like something bigger than just a relationship. It sounds like destiny! That is a hard one to follow, but Glenn comes right back with “Show Me.” And let me tell you, I love a song that says, “Okay, enough talking. Show me what you mean!” But Howard has his own answer with his version of “Show Me.” Now we have two artists bringing their own interpretation to the same title, and that makes this battle even more interesting.
Then Glenn Jones brings us “We’ve Only Just Begun,” which gives the battle another romantic turn. There is something beautiful about that feeling when you realize the relationship is still growing and the best may still be ahead. But Howard Hewett gets the final word with “Amen.” And what a way to close it! Howard takes us somewhere spiritual, soulful and reflective, reminding us that sometimes you have to put a little faith behind what you are feeling.
So who wins this one? Glenn Jones gives us that smooth, romantic energy, while Howard Hewett brings that powerful, emotional vocal presence that R&B fans have loved for years. I honestly feel like this battle is going to depend on what kind of mood you are in. If I want romance, Glenn might get me. If I want that deep, soulful feeling, Howard may have me saying, “Okay Howard, you got that one!” But that’s what makes the Kandi Crush Battle so much fun. There is no wrong answer when the music is this good. So, y’all, I need to know — Team Glenn Jones or Team Howard Hewett?
