“ 'Show Me' is a soulful duet, featuring Jenna Lavoie, who is an up and coming singer songwriter from San Francisco. It’s a hot and steamy song about a couple’s passion for each other. An old school inspired love song with a modern musical beat. I really wanted a duet on my 'Love Is' album and I felt this sexy groove would be perfect for that. It was just a matter of finding the right lyrics and voice… and Jenna appeared. I love her flow and I think our voices complement each other’s. It’s one of my favorites from the album and has been a stand out in many reviews.” - D. Edward
