If you are into 90s R&B then you are familiar with Case. He’s the man that gave us hits like “Touch Me, Tease Me” (done with Foxy Brown and Mary J. Blige) as well as “Happily Ever After.”
The two-time Grammy Award nominee has officially returned with a new single; “Until This Day,” done with producer Salaam Remi. The song will be featured on Remi‘s upcoming album titled “Black on Purpose.”
As he has done in the past, Case has once again giving us a beautiful love song and the video, though simple, is effective in telling the story. Click here or on the image above to check out the video and remember to like, comment and share.
