    music from episode

    i was searching forever to find out who a couple of artists featured in this series were. not sure why they weren't credited but i finally found the artist from this episode! the song is called 'jealousy' and the artist is damumalik. bought his album recently. awesome!!!! the song was also a really nice touch to this heartbreaking episode. it was also cool to see Kellie Shanygne Williams in this episode. 'Girlfriends' was very good at showcasing underground music. there is another song in the 'A Little Romance' episode that was really nice. still trying to find out who the artist is. anybody know? i just bought the season 3 DVDs but still no clues! still love the show though!!! i highly recommend the DVDs if you haven't bought them already! it was such a great show. any chance of a movie?

    please help me with the music in this episode

    In the end of this episode, can someone please tell me what is the name of the song they're playing, when Darnell and Maya are holding each other, after he tells her, that they need to "move on" the song is beautiful and the show ends with her at the office. I can't really remember the words, but it was a slow song, and it's the only song played in this episode. I have looked up all possible avenues, and just thought that the song was very moving in it's own right or least someone can lead me to the music director, who chose the song for this specific episode, I am trying to purchase the song. Please respond quickly.
