Video: Stacy Barthe Wants to “Keep It Like It Is”

June 13, 2012 1 Comment

Words by Jesse Serwer—

Big week over here for tunes about being over it. First Tarrus Riley told his ex-flame he’s “Not Missing You” with an exclusive LargeUp premiere of his song by that name, and now we have the video for “Keep It Like It Is” from Stacy Barthe, the Haitian/Dominican songwriter for Rihanna/Britney Spears/Katy Perry turned John Legend-affiliated artist. The Supa Dups-produced reggae joint from Barthe’s In the InBetween EP, which we featured in purely audio form back in February, is an ice-cold sayonara to an ex who just won’t take the hint. Barthe, on the other hand, shows just how past him (note singer Luke James‘ image in the burning photo) she is by tooling around the islands on a motorboat and liming with her band. Stacy looks like she’s having the time of her life—no wonder dude is trying to creep back into it.

Audio: Download Stacy Barthe’s “Keep It Like It Is”

Words by Jesse Serwer—

We just posted Stacy Barthe’s “No Strings Attached” (featuring John Legend) yesterday but the feedback’s been so good we thought we’d throw one more your way. Like “No Strings Attached,” “Keep it Like It Is,” from Barthe’s new In the InBetween EP, boasts breezy reggae production from the man called Supa Dups and, as on “No Strings Attached,” the Haitian/Dominican songstress sounds super natural on it. It’s the last minute-and-a-half, when the song turns into an extended sayonara to an old lover, that things really get interesting, though. “I think it’s best that we just act like each other never existed to each other,” she says. “‘Cause that’s how you made me feel at one point. And at this point I gotta be scrupulous.” Ouch!

The Songsmith Steps Out: Download Stacy Barthe’s “No Strings Attached”

Words by Emily Shapiro—

You may not yet know the name Stacy Barthe but this singer/songwiter from Brooklyn has been behind many of our favorite tunes for quite a few years. Barthe, who has both Haitian and Dominican roots, first hit mainstream success when she wrote “Blur” on Britney Spears’ Circus album and since then she has penned tracks for a ton of hit-making artists, including Katy Perry (“Hummingbird Heartbeat”), Kelly Rowland (“Everywhere You Go”) and Rihanna (“Cheers (Drink to That),” which reached #7 on the Billboard charts). Now, she is using her way with words to develop a new artist—herself.
