Da Neighborhood: July 2009

Friday, July 31, 2009

ex-girlfriend were the en vogue of new jack swing. they were raw, raunchy and bad girls who sang! produced by the legendary producers full force, ex-girlfriend only managed to score one top 20 on the r&b charts with their 1991 hit why can't you come home. their second single you (you're the one for me) failed to ignite radio but it is my fave from the group. they would go on on to release two albums before breaking up in 1994. aaahhh, how i so miss the 90s!

if you were a video soul addict like i was in the 90s, then you know about this group. one of the first acts signed to laface records, damian dame were coolest duo in r&b. while their pop success was limited, they did manage to score a pair of 20 hits on the r&b chart including the number one r&b hit exclusivity. the third and final single was my fave gotta learn my rhythm. i used to love this video and run the hell out of the cassette single. their 1992 debut album had a more than a few solid tunes and i am sure that their sophomore album would have been just as good. unfortunately, deah dame passed away in a fatal car accident in 1994 and damian succumbing to colon cancer in 1996. their music lives forever and this song still rocks!

.:flashback friday:.

.:download:.

honey, miss shanice was the truth during the early 90s. signed to motown in 1991 after her stint at a&m records resulted only in minor hits, it wasn't until her breakthrough single i love your smile that the world took notice. in 1993 she contributed to the motion picture soundtrack of the underwhelming meteor man. i had the cassette single and i ran it until it literally popped. and don't get me started about her hair in the accompanying video. :-)

.:flashback friday:.

.:extended mix:.

this was the second single from their 1985 primitive love album. i remember my aunt janet playing this tune on our record player. i'd imagine myself dancing around with human sized cats as she did in the music video. only in the 80's could an artist get away with such a thing. gosh, i miss the 80s!

.:work [effrem adams remaster]:.

i thought i was well versed on jan's catalogue especially as i was a huge fan growing up. turns out that i must have missed a class because did not even know that there was a track entitled work floating around. apparently, it is a leftover track from her now classic rhythm nation 1814 album. it's a treat and it is now added to my rhythm nation remixed playlist. thanks boogz! you are too good to me!
