They was really giving the girls quality content between ‘88 and ‘92
Let’s look at the material!
A classic, Bell Biv Devoe really shook the table after going from a good clean imagine in New Edition to a raunchy, more mature image. And look they did wtf they had to do! https://open.spotify.com/track/6m59VvDUi0UQsB2eZ9wVbH?si=AP7CsHxSTzmWe2ug5nx8VQ
This is technically ‘87 but deserves to be in this thread bc we owe so much to Mr Sweat for really laying the foundation for the 90s ass begging niggas https://open.spotify.com/track/7vVIj8Tm1wCawjvwVZdeLD?si=oyzJeFbuQESE6FtIiJYtmw
Jodeci was so ahead of their time in regards to their sound. When you think 90s you think of them, but most of their hits are very early 90s. Their power!! https://open.spotify.com/track/63uR29DnkNPUiorL30cHnj?si=99kTLrcXTYSDBm0WAJRj6Q
Now I really can’t discuss that transition sound without discussing thee Johnny Gill. Mans been sounding like a father of 7 since he was 14 chile https://open.spotify.com/track/0Z9FRM5zukGVagh8TVSdrI?si=tiYmsIBETOuOw7eRhHmSIg
Now look Queen Mary was really in her bag in this period as well. She dropped her ICONIC debut album, “What’s the 411?” in 1992 https://open.spotify.com/track/3XG801WWhqC753dekEBkMt?si=CCs0jFS3SUWbgwbgKTC64w
Bobby really had this 80s sound going on especially with Every Little Step and My Prerogative, but you really start to hear this newer R&B sound in Roni https://open.spotify.com/track/6mdNRnbiVerwM8kGCS1KwD?si=9NlO0TXORvCNsHCH_5nW6Q
Niggas been h*rny but they really start getting h*rny with not only Jodeci stepping on the scene, but also w Silk h*rny asses. A mf bop! https://open.spotify.com/track/5CdJveJgiGXoGwDFqF6afp?si=-fK555N3TxWqmN4EBUX_FQ
Chile to wrap up this thread, I’ll end it w the legend behind most of the songs we think of when we think of 80s and 90s R&B and shit even now. Kenneth did wtf he had to do! https://open.spotify.com/track/4D13ulAZI1V7PG7Zg1Ar7r?si=EVe5xZ5ZRyiIlaSb56_DcA
