Free Music Review: 4'5 Stars - Blackstreet Reaches Another Level
Hit: 4 Stars
"Another Level" Blackstreet's second album is truly a 90's classic. After releasing their eponymous debut album a few years earlier Teddy Riley and co. came back with a sophmore album in 1996 that was better in every way. Hollister and Little were replaced by Eric Williams and Mark Middleton but the sound was also more suited for it's time with less New Jack Swing but a fresher sound with great production and plenty of variation. It was like going from phase 1 that made Riley famous with the New Jack Swing sound with his previous group "Guy" and Blackstreet's first album to phase 2 that blends all kinds of R&B into a great concept that both worked for classic R&B fans and for commercial radio. The absolute standout here is obviously the mega hit "No Diggity" reaching #1 with a guest rap from Dr Dre. It blends Hip Hop beats with R&B perfectly without sounding like it's from the early 90's and it's sound and production is so memorable it's still fresh to this day. They continue with another good song in "Don't Leave Me Now" a midtempo that samples Debarge, the same sample that 2Pac used for "Ain't Mad at Cha", this song was a hit in Europe but not in USA. A personal version of Beatles "(Money Can't) Buy Me Love" is almost unrecognizable and therefore fascinating. "Fix" sound quite simular to "No Diggity" but is a defenite highligh and so is the sweet ballads "Good Lovin" and "I Can't Get You (Out Of My Mind). There are also several interesting interlude's if you're interested in the band further, "Deja's Poem" and "Taja's Lude where Teddy's daughters get the chance to shine and "Motherlude" where the mothers of each of the members talk of their sons and their upbringing. Closer is called "The Lord Is Real" and is a great way of ending a wonderful album. With 70 minutes it perhaps a little too long, but there are enough good songs here to make the listener content and for once we have an album with interludes that make sense. This is obviously their best album and the album you should start with if you're interested in their music. 4'5 stars.
Another Level Poster
Back in 1990, Teddy Riley was just as influential a producer as Babyface is now--maybe even more so, because Riley had invented a whole new sound, a combination of soul harmonies, rap breaks, and hip-hop beats called new jack swing. Riley is still a gifted producer; he can link up drum-machine beats, synthesizer chords, and voices so they make the maximum impact with the minimum presence, giving his work a sleek leanness. Riley was never much of a songwriter, though, and the R&B melodies and bedroom scenarios on Another Level, the second album by his group Blackstreet, all sound recycled. It's no coincidence that the two strongest tracks are a lush ballad rearrangement of the old Beatles rocker "Can't Buy Me Love" and a Winans-like version of the DeBarge hymn "Time Will Reveal." --Geoffrey HimesLimited Edition Includes a Bonus CD with CD-ROM Tracks plus No Diggity (Jungle Mix), Don't Leave (Goodbye Remix), Fix (Lislee Mix).
