Throwback Thursday: Tatyana Ali – “Everytime”
Earlier today, the OG Ashley Banks posted a pic to remind us that she’s still fine as hell. It had me thinking about how long she’s been in the public eye and how she has managed to remain unproblematic the whole time. In a world where so many child stars crash and burn, we simply must celebrate the Tatyana Alis.
All of this also had me thinking about her short-lived music career that deserved a much longer run. We’ve revisited her debut single on a previous Throwback Thursday, but today, we’ll be looking at “Everytime.”
Released as the third single from her one and only LP, Kiss the Sky, is a guitar-driven ballad about missing your boo every time they’re not here. In actuality, the song reads like the lamentation of a clingy-ass lover, but it is set to the sweetest melody and sung so beautifully.
“Everytime” didn’t fare as well as “Daydreamin’,” but it cracked the top 20 in the UK. Its video — set to the remix — features a mix of concert and behind-the-scenes footage, including a clip of Tatyana hanging with her Fresh Prince co-star, Will Smith.
While it would’ve been nice to embed a video, the fact of the matter is that the original is by far the superior version. Check it out below.
