2662495, The thing about those 90s joints... Posted by OldPro, Wed Feb-15-12 12:27 PM
is i hated the production more than the actual songs... i think song writing was still decent for the most part throughout that decade but shit got bogged down with those clunky beats. that was what made Maxwell's debut so refreshing to me... dude had real songs, more full sounding production and the voice to bring it all home. most of the stuff that came after (neo-soul) just wasn't that complete.
now we're on the backside of that movement and dealing with the fallout. the idea musicianship and a good voice = good music was never accepted before neo-soul... didn't matter if it was Luther, Whitney, MJ or whoever... if the songs weren't there people wouldn't listen. _________________________________ Reunion Radio Podcasts Bringing Together Five Decades of R&B/Funk/Soul/Dance
