  • Today's Song: Onra 'L.O.V.E.'

    gawker.com 1 week ago

    France's Onra is obsessed with retro R&B , his beaut of a 2010 album, Long Distance, contained many a convincing foray into the post-disco offshoot of boogie, and he's also flirted with some new jack swing reediting . I relate to his obsessions! The new track "L.O.V.E.," from his upcoming EP on Fool's Gold, sounds like a fading memory of a fleeting moment at the Paradise Garage. Gorgeous. [via Pitchfork ] More ยป

Additional Info

via Wikipedia
New jack swing or swingbeat is a fusion genre spearheaded by Teddy Riley and Bernard Belle which became extremely popular from the late-1980s into the early-1990s. Its influence, along with hip-hop, seeped into pop culture and was the definitive sound of the inventive Black New York club scene. It fuses the rhythms, samples and production techniques of hip-hop and dance-pop with the urban contemporary sound of R&B. The new jack swing style developed as many previous music styles did, by combining elements of older styles with newer sensibilities. It used R&B style vocals sung over hip hop and dance-pop style influenced instrumentation. The sound of new jack swing comes from the hip hop "swing" beats created by drum machine, and hardware samplers, which was popular during the golden age of hip hop, with contemporary R&B style singing.
