Free Music Review: A TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE...
Hit: 4 Stars

"Why Don't We Try" by Keith John is a pretty nice ballad, that captures the spirit of 80s soul/R&B music. "Feel So Good" by Perri is tied for my favorite song on the album. "Feel So Good" can best be described as VERY Anita Baker-ish, with a touch of gospel. "Don't Shoot Me" by Take 6 can be heard throughout Spike Lee's film; it's also a great song.

"Hard To Say" by Lori Perry and Gerald Aston is more generic 80s R&B, but it still works. "Prove To Me", the second appearance by Perri is good in that 80s R&B uptempo sort of way. Reminds me of something Chuckii Booker would come up with...(remember him?)

My other favorite song on the album is "Never Explain Love" by Al Jarreau. You can hear this song during the closing credits of the film, and it sounds kinda Prince-ish, with its use of "echo-ish" percussion a la "The Beautiful Ones". "Never Explain Love" also features violins that end the song beautifully (think: Janet Jackson's "Come Back To Me"). I can't forget "Tu Y Yo" by Panamanian Salsa legend Ruben Blades...

Be warned though: the music featured on this album sounds amazingly dated. But if you don't mind a little "New Jack Era" nostalgia, then by all means...proceed.

Thanks for reading!
