Dave Hollister
You Can't Say
Album: Chicago '85... The Movie
Genres: R&B
Dave uses his vocal power to make a convincing case that he tried to do his lady right -- more convincing, unfortunately, than the by-the-numbers R&B ballad behind him.

	You can count on ex-Blackstreet member Dave Hollister to pour every bit of his considerable vocal power into his work, which can make his stuff a pleasure when the material�s up to snuff. But this unexceptional soul ballad doesn�t qualify, lacking any melodic lift and making Hollister work too hard to carry the load. You can easily believe him, of course when he swears to his lady that he�s done all he can to keep their crumbling relationship together. His alternately angry and sorrowful vocal insures that you�ll buy his story -- you just won�t want to hear it a bunch of times. To be fair, this tune makes more sense as a supporting piece in Hollister�s neo-concept album Chicago �85: The Movie than as a single, as is best heard with the other stuff around it.
