On change de courant musical to tackle the middle of the R & B and more particularly that of New Jack. Kreuz, a group formed in the early 90s, with a first attempt in 1993 with the album New Generation is really gone unnoticed (I have not had the opportunity to listen), the group of compounds Sean Cummings, the lead singer, Ricardo Reid and Wayne Lawes involved both vocal and production on the album, returning to the music scene Londoner with a type of sound, still very little known in the musical landscape of the country.

is with the single
Party All Night style that broke out in broad daylight with a host well welcomed by the public, even positioning themselves in the top chart dance floor the first week, style, very salacious, can only think of another group coming from across the Atlantic very active since the early 90s, the kind of monster, I am of course talking about the lyrics Jodeci very sour.

All the style of the album while taking root in a game modeled on a slow pace, sometimes with a low soft ballads, sometimes fast securities more up-tempo and dance floor with choirs on a reggae assets or more traditional.

Among the various instruments found some notes of piano, horns, synths, a moog and a siren behind but rather effective (especially for Hump Hump Da ) guitar riffs for walks, and even the presence of games played vocoder ( Slap 'N Tickle). Suffice to say that production has not been spared.

ultra spicy texts were essentially a common theme: the kiss, charm, sex, and yeah nothing is done in half measures, without falling into the poor misogyny as seen currently with the crunk, the tone is still very provocative in form.

Here is an album so rich that we offer this group 100% Londoner even if some unscrupulous people will not make the direct approximation (see a copy) with Jodeci as the similarities are striking. It remains that reaches Kreuz bring a lot of freshness in a stream which will unfortunately deteriorate over the years to make way for a much more influenced by R'n'B productions Hip Hop.

12) On The One


If Dawn Silva do evokes perhaps not much, yet she has participated for many years mouvent P-Funk, in close collaboration with the holding of the movement, such as George Clinton, Bootsy Collins, Bernie, but also Worrell.

So in this new millennium, that Ms Silva takes the microphone after a last attempt shunned by the public, however well received by critics, with her late Brides Of Funkenstein Group. This new entrant 20 years trying t is completely produced by the studio and Twinlab Silva Sound Recordings in Sacramento by D'La Vance and overall made arises from the first moment, the album is extremely powerful. One wonders how such a production could be born as late as the movement ran out of steam Funk traditional for many years.

Taking all aspects that have made successes in the Funk 80: powerful bass, a guitar with funky accents, synthesizers, a very powerful set of keyboard, some brass here and there, plus other instruments stacked to make his very own, one is in awe of such a work.

To be honest on first listen I thought the songs were played as Funk times of the day, like the title I'd Rather Be With You Bootsy Collins , but it is not all productions are fully worked and one can only rejoice advantage.

Make a selection of songs is really difficult as, I repeat, the work is remarkable for the year, each offering its sound as well giving it distinct and special status of absolute classic of the genre without a doubt.

"ain't no party like a Eastside party cuz a Eastside party ain't no joke" dixit le refrain de Eastside LB . Le ton est donné. Les 2 jumeaux Deon "Trip Loc" et Dewayne "Wayniac" Williams straight from Long Beach City, stronghold known to the multitudes of such talented rapper Snoop Dogg, Nate Dogg, or the collective DPG venture in 1995 on Def Jam Records for their one and only album.

Produced almost entirely by hand by master Warren G, the album is front-and all festive G Funk claimed as can be seen on the CD case with an explicit indication of their musical signature.

Accompanied primarily by vocalizations to Nancy Fletcher, Warren G, or New Birth, the twins very laid back flow will in turn give the floor under the guitar riffs of Rick Raus, keyboards Sean Barney Thomas and powerful bass Tony T Green. Sirens and claps also very present help in turn to wealth production.

Among the 14 titles that contain the album, the songs are very good lights Round & Round the haunting chorus of Nancy Fletcher of the bomb Good Times but above ' Eastside LB brilliantly showing the sample of Free interpreted by Deniece Williams.

The rest is nonetheless as good with a course of action always representative of the Southern California sound. Finally, there is an album and worked extremely dense. Warren G can be proud of his work like he had achieved a year earlier with his classic G Funk Era.

Tonite the track containing a sample of Betty Wright and funk band Kleeer is hit in the power of the album feature a musical style that seethes on West Coast United States, the current G-Funk.

Binder intelligently his old school with a much funkier sound, the album is surprisingly homogeneous. Found with 13 pieces worked with class. Quik mastery and it shows. Productions resonate forcefully slam, musical inspirations for his young age (21 years) are stunning and there is already talk of genius that will materialize much later, with his self-proclamation respected by all of "America's Most Complete Artist" .
