Kandi Burruss dug through the hard drive for “It’s You,” a previously unreleased song featuring the late Gerald Levert. The accomplished multi-hyphenate previewed the duet in a recent episode of Real Housewives of Atlanta, in which she also confirmed their past romance.
The classic R&B-minded tune, written and recorded by Burruss and Levert in 2003, sports a list of pleasant and irksome traits that one another loves. Both artists put on a fantastic vocal showcase with close-to-home lyrics that can be relevant to any relationship.
“It’s You” isn’t the only recent song from Burruss’ camp receiving a resurgence of love. Her viral song “Legs, Hips, Body” from her 2014 stage play A Mother’s Love has more than 10.5 million videos made from its audio on TikTok so far. Burruss even made a sexy, step-by-step visual for the popular summer bop.

Coincidentally, Gerald’s father, Eddie Levert, starred in A Mother’s Love, inspired by her then-pending marriage and mother-daughter bond.
Burruss is connected to another successful play, Thoughts of a Colored Man. She produced the thought-provoking Broadway show, which starred Luke James, Tristan Mack Wilds, and Dyllón Burnside, to name a few. It won Outstanding Broadway Production at the 2022 GLAAD Media Awards.
In 2020, Burruss shared the song “Used To Love Me.” Then, in 2018, she shared two tracks, “Ready For This” and “Fake People.” That same year, she teased a future music project.
“I’ve actually been gathering songs. I don’t plan on writing everything this time around. I have some of my writers that I work with [who] are coming up with some songs because I want to try some different stuff,” Burruss explained.
