So the other day a friend of mine was sending me random lyrics from R&B tracks to see if I could guess the song ... I did pretty well (no surprise there, right?), but I was finally stumped on one that was just a tad before my time. We got on the subject of what artists we 'grew up with.' He's only a few years older than I am, but the artists each of us kick back and reminisce with were, surprisingly, entirely different.
Everyone has those artists that they latch on to at various points in their life. This group, which I've mentioned here previously, is one that I can say helped define what I now appreciate as great R&B music. Granted, there's much respect for the old school, the Al Green's and Marvin Gaye's, the New Edition's and Hi-Five's, etc. ... but this group ... this group OWNED the 90's.
Jodeci - Cry For You
They're a special group ... Whether it's the way they make the ladies feel loved with their lyrics or the fact that fellas can enjoy busting out an "Oooooooh YEEAAAH" it's clear they transcend both male and female fans ... tough to do for some R&B artists. You can pick from about 20 of their songs to set the mood, whether it be a night cap with someone you're just getting to know, or celebrating an anniversary with the ONE you know is yours forever.
They may not be making music together anymore, but I'm grateful for all they gave of themselves already.
