Started has a slow, emotionally-charged plea to one’s lover. The track is stripped-down and bare, mirroring the message espoused in the effort. The members of Final Draft are able to keep this sexual energy high through out. Changing up the track to best bolster the strengths of each performers, Started is able to stay fresh and invigorating from the onset until the last assertive note. It’s not too much of a jump to see that the act’s tagline – the “New kings of R&B” – may just be true. Started is able to bring all the highs of early-1990s R&B into the modern era.
