Montell Jordan - "This Is How We Do It"

"New Jill Swing" - appreciation for En Vogue, SWV, Tara Kemp, Ex Girlfriend, The Good Girls, Xscape et al. The music industry was less friendly to them than to Bobby Brown, Kid 'n Play, and Blackstreet.

I love the late '80s-early '90s era in R&B. So creative and fun, even while hip hop and movies were focusing on the (very real) issues of gangs, drugs, and incarceration.

P.M. DAWN - Of The Heart, Of The Soul And Of The Cross: The Utopian Experience

https://emcritic.blogspot.com/2014/09/pm-dawn-of-heart-of-soul-and-of-cross.html

I know they were kinda' disowned within the #HipHop lexicon for various reasons (thanks, KRS-One!), but it cannot be denied these chaps were fairly popular when #ConsciousRap was catching on. Even holds up, if you don't mind that #NewJackSwing era with a little more #RnB in it (thanks, Todd Terry!).

#YouTube music setlist of the day, for your studying, commuting, cleaning, or just chilling out needs. Perfect for a quiet day at a (post-tax season) office.

Various - DANCE MIX 90

The 'Dance Mix' series was one of the most popular, commercially successful compilation #CD series in Canada. Oh lordy tho', did it *not* start out that way.

Quarter ft. Karen T
by Founder & CEO

It is difficult to find this person online as Founder & CEO. That phrase has terrible SEO qualities ("Are you looking for the CEO of Spotify?"). Anyway, this is Terry Mann: https://linktr.ee/founderceomusic

And their music is great and you should hear it!

Jangling and polished synth pop with some funky influences, some new jack swing in there, too.

That's right! Let's bring back new jack swing!!

My music assignment of the day:

"Hold On" - En Vogue

@slevelt @TB41 Mine was ‘Big Tyme’ by Heavy D and the Boyz on vinyl. Still think that album is underrated. I was 12 and my friends were into boy bands. I got sucked into that stuff for a bit, too, but still kind of proud I did hip-hop first, haha.

Cheers Folks.

We wanted to take a moment to apologize to anyone who was looking to tune in for yesterday's shows.

Connection issues for some of our collective issues, coupled with life issues, and sound issues for some of us. And it just wasn't a good say for the #labr crew.

Today is a new Day. And rumor has it, that @brothersoul is cooking up a really nice #newjackswing Sunday Night Soul. And we think Eddie Bee's back from vacation.

check https://labr.online for times.

Thanks

Oh man. I forgot how about 25 seconds into the Title Theme for Golden Axe II it turns from swords and sorcery into New Jack Swing. #vgm #gamemusic #hiphop #newjackswing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCTz8iEAxcQ
