You’re Not My Kind of Girl

You’re Not My Kind of Girl

New Edition

“You’re Not My Kinda Girl” is the second single from the Heart Break album and it peaked at #3 on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Singles chart. The song is about a man having a flawless girl being attracted to him but there is something about her that keeps him from having a mutual attraction. Producer Jimmy Jam said the following about the song:

‘You’re Not My Kind of Girl’ was very much a singing group type of song. This song goes back to my singing group days. This was a song that you could hear The Whispers doing. I thought lyrically it was really cool. It was another one of the songs that came from our conversations. So many of the songs that we write for all of the artists we work with come from conversations with them. We thought it was an interesting lyrical concept. The chord changes in that song were pretty sophisticated, but the guys really got with it and created great harmonies on it. This is one of my favorite records.

The music video for the previous single “If It Isn’t Love” led into the video for this song, which displays a concert performance featuring the remixed version of the track.
