I haven't been excited by an R&B group in many years. Well 2 years ago to tell the honest truth I was lightly moved by Usher and I'm glad he blew up. I think he's kept head, but I haven't been checking. Evidently, these brothers are hanging out in Europe. Their new album 'Ready II Fly' can be sampled at their website which is running out of Germany.
What do they sound like? They sound like a combination of Boyz II Men, Take Six and what every R&B hiphop group has really not had enough talent to do. If you can, imagine a grown-up Blackstreet with the same kind of groove, better voices, smarter lyrics and none of the immaturity. All of their cuts, except this one obviously, appear to be originals with no sampling. The album is a great mix of styles, and they don't get bogged down with any kind of hook here. They're not trying to be, they are. And they're grown too, thank God.
Any one of their cuts can blow up. Take your pick. Chances are it will be the remake of Phil Collins, it's what they need. The new album is available at Amazon as an import, the world is about to wake up with any luck. It's too bad I'm broke until Friday, chances are they'll be gone (Amazon only has three copies left). This group's video is viral and I got it on the Kwaku Network this morning. If you've seen that idiot overexposed kid on the Verizon commercial, this is what should in his place.
This is music you can actually listen to instead of just groove to on MTV. Here's to a last breath of hope from NYC by way of France & Germany.
