Legendary Ann Nesby Drops The Breathtaking ‘My Man’
About The Deep Connection That Withstands Life’s Challenges.
Two-time legendary Grammy-winning Ann Nesby, is making a triumphant return with her new single, “My Man” via It’s Time Child Records and GoDigiPath/ADA.
Written by R.L., Brian Cook and Ann Nesby, the love anthem blends contemporary R&B with Ann‘s signature soulful style.
Timed perfectly for Valentine’s season, “My Man” is a heartfelt tribute to her husband and manager, Tim Lee, co-head of her label It’s Time Child Records. The song celebrates enduring love and devotion, offering a universal anthem for listeners.
“‘My Man’ is about loyalty, passion, and the deep connection that withstands life’s challenges,” states Ann. “It reflects my journey and the timeless love stories that inspire my music.”
“Whatever you need
I promise that you’ ll always
Find it here with me
Ain’t no one gonna love you better then I do.”
Ann Nesby is without a doubt one of UB‘s favorites! A hometown legend of the Twin Cities and one of the most talented, down to earth, beautiful inside and out women you could ever know.
“My Man” is everything, Ann Nesby fans have been craving for..a pure R&B ballad. There is nobody that can produce the vocals that Miss Nesby can and “My Man” solidifies that.
With the help of another Twin Cities legend R.L., there was no way they could miss!
UB spoke to Ann in 2001 and asked her then, which did she prefer ballads or dance tracks? “I don’t prefer one or the other. I have love for all African American music. Coming from the Sounds (of blackness) I try not to limit what I write & listen to. I write from personal experiences. I try to write from an inspirational point of view.”
