Free Music Review: Three talented GUYS. 3 1/2 stars for the genesis of NEW JACK
Hit: 3 Stars
Call Teddy Riley a mastermind for creating what would become one of the most popular sounds in R&B history, New Jack. Guy's self-titled debut is where that sound generated from. With their hits from this album which included "I Like", "Groove Me" and "Piece of My Love", there is no wonder why this sound became as popular as it did; the public just ate it up. This album is filled with songs that you can dance to and also resurface a slew of positive memories. In fact, the vast majority of these numbers are fast in tempo. Teddy Riley seemed to focus more so on the production of this album than the lyrics. What makes me say that? Well, some of the songs don't have many lyrics, but all of the tracks are very experimental (especially for that time, circa 1988). This album sounds dated from start to finish, but that doesn't necessarily serve as a problem because times do change, and believe me, The "New Jack" era had its heyday.
There is no filler on this compilation, but there are good songs and there are some songs that exceed good. "Spend the Night" and "Goodbye Love" are good at best. "Goodbye Love" is one of the few ballads found here. Aaron Hall has an incredible singing voice and he shines on every number. He does well with the lead vocals on "Goodbye Love." In fact, the other members don't hold a candle to Hall's vocals here or anywhere else on this album. They knew what they were doing when they made him the lead vocalist. "Don't Clap...Just Dance" and "You Can Call Me Crazy" are pretty good moments on the album, but the best songs were definitely released to radio. My favorite song is "Piece of My Love" because I love ballads, this song was not over-produced, and Hall sings the heck out of this song. The hook is great as well. "I Like" was a huge hit; I can still remember hearing it on the radio constantly. Teddy was very, very experimental on this track; I don't know how many instruments he toyed with on this song, but, somehow, it works. "Groove Me" was also very popular in the late 80s and early 90s. This song is so easy to dance to and the hook is simply infectious.
This album is a must for music lovers. It is by no means a perfect album but because there is history connected to it, your music collection would be remiss without it.
