Jodeci was arguably the most influential group of the 1990's. They were crafted by P.Diddy, known then as Puff Daddy, who ingeniously marketed the group as the "Bad Boys of R&B." However, the group was solidified with actual musical substance as opposed to many of the fly-by-night knock-offs that have followed their prototype. This album is a collection of popular hits and the better songs from their discography. Although I have each of their three albums, it's nice to have such a compilation on one disc. Jodeci is one of the few groups since the emergence of contemporary R&B that has provided timeless music. Many of my favorites are included on this collection - Forever My Lady, Come & Talk To Me, Feenin', Cry For You, Love U 4 Life, Freek'N You, and Get On Up. I was actually motivated to purchase the CD as it includes one of my all-time favorites; group members K-Ci's and Jo Jo's live rendition of Lately. The interplay of these two vocalists - who are blood brothers - has yet to be matched by any of the groups spawned by Jodeci. K-Ci and Jo Jo have a legitimate church-like quality in their voice that is uncommon in today's world of R&B. The interplay of their vocals combined with the distinct production style of leader DeVante, places Jodeci in a special category of their own. While there are some talented soloists in the 2000's - R. Kelly, John Legend, and Anthony Hamilton to name a few - our contemporary period is without any group that can match the musical craftsmanship of Jodeci. In my opinion the album doesn't deserve a perfect rating due to the inclusion of the remixes for Alone and S-More, and the absence of Pump It Back as well as song-or-two from their earlier material.

Jodeci was the group of the Early 90's easily.they were Versatile&Could Bring the feeling in there material."Forever My Lady",come&Talk to Me,Feenin,Get on up,&there Cover of Stevie Wonder's "Lately" are all must haves. the problem with Jodeci is that they did there best sutff mainly off there Debut Album with a Few other cuts beyond that.they are a Group that didn't reach there Full Potential to me.good to see KC&Jo-Jo still out here.there should have been more to Devante Swing than what we have gotten thus far.but for going back down memory lane this is a cool set.Free Music Review: Classic material

As someone who considers himself one of the biggest Jodeci fans out there, of course I have to write a review of this long-awaited 'Best Of' album.
If you are looking to hear anything new, I would say this album isn't worth your time. However, if you have only one or two of Jodeci's three albums, I would recommend this. The three remixes are really not 'remixes' in the normal sense of the word. Instead, they have a few more elements [sound effects] added to the original beat. The only 'new' comes at the end of "S~More", where Dalvin flips it and must have had some alternate version of the song from a decade ago.
The album is VERY well-mixed, though. I was kind of skepitcal as to how songs from "The Show, The After-Party, The Hotel" were going to end, but instead of just cutting them short or having a blunt ending, Dalvin included at least some of the interludes that followed on the original album. For instance, at the end of "Freek'n You"' you hear "It's a quarter passed two, don't wanna stop freekin you" from "DeVante's Intermission" and then it fades into "Alone".
The sound quality is also magnificent. It's surprising that they had such great copies of the original tapes in order to remaster the work as well as they did. The songs sound so much more crisp and clear, and they thump much harder as well.
Jodeci was on another level with their music. They changed the landscape of black music as we know it. Cats are still biting their musical style, as well as the personas. This is a perfect album to get just to know where it all started. And if you are hesitant because you think the material will be dated, don't worry, Jodeci was way ahead of the game ... this material sounds as fresh as anything you hear today [minus the first 4 tracks]. Definitely an album all should have in their collection if they think they listen to good music.
Free Music Review: Good CD

This Cd is definitely a must buy for the old school and the new. These guys only lasted three albums but they were hands down the best group in the 90's.Its unfortunate that there run ended so soon but Jodeci combined church melodies with smooth R& b and gansta R&B as well. The track listing was correct except for the "Come and talk to me remix". That was the summer jam in 91 and i can't believe its not there. Some of their stuff from the last album could have been left off as well. Another thing i found surprising was that Kc and Jo-jo's hits were not there. It would have been good to add tracks like all my life but i guess they only wanted to make it a Jodeci only album. Nonetheless this cd is a must by.
