My schoolfriend Ricky gave me MTV Unplugged on cassette for my 13th birthday. I was crushin' hard at the time (as I did for the next 10+ years). Even back then I could appreciate how difficult it was to sing like that live and how well arranged that whole performance is. Songs such as 'If It's Over' and 'Someday' ❤️‍🔥 I wore that tape OUT. The whole thing just brims with this captivating mix of youthful innocence, first-night nerves … and innate excellence!

PS Random fact. Trey Lorenz is on BVs and dueting on 'I'll Be There'. I just happened to be listening to his track 'Photography of Mary' this afternoon. The Masters At Work dub is heavy.

For me, it was the music videos from her Daydream / Butterfly era but this performance was a magical moment that made me appreciate her career/ journey
