NJS was always a strictly 12" genre for me, but recently I started wondering what have I missed by skipping almost all of the albums out there.Anyone able to recommend particulary good 1986-1991 era tracks that are good enough to make it worthwhile tracking down the albums? Slow or fast, doesn't matter.EDIT: I'll have to add that this post was partly inspired by Troop's S/T 1988 album which I've been blasting all day. "Young Girl" is my jam.

    That's funny cause i just copped the Deluxe version of GUY first album. The bullshit bonus CD has all the 12" singles release from the album. Classic Shit/Must Own.


    Your Love's Not True - Today/Today S/T (Teddy Riley's side project}
    Teddy's Jam Part 2 - Guy/The Future
    Dangerous - Micheal Jackson/Dangerous


    Ill come w/ more selections later.

    New Jill Swing got some heat as well.

    is that what is considered new jack swing even? i mean, i like it, i can dance to it, he's got the sexy low voice thing going, but im not sure if its new jack swing or if its just from around the same time. i always thought new jack swing needed some half hearted attempt at rapalatin to be considered.

    For me NJS was always more of a production trend than a genre of it's own.

    Good call on Today, I have the album somewhere and will check it again. Basically everything I ever heard by them is class. The Samuelle album I don't even recall seeing, will have to track it down.

    this was a 12" too...though maybe a bit more under the radar.

    I always thought NJS was like film noir.... not really a genre perse, but a series of symptoms.

    Humpty Dance Snare
    Synth Bass Lines
    Big Silk Shirts
    Bird Chests


    feel free to add on

    Besides all the well known NJS albums. Here are a couple of others. Some aren't that great, but some stuff does shine.


























    French New Jack Swing

    ah ok. Released as Teddy or as The Winans? There's one or two better tracks on the Winans LP, just not so Yup-Yup-Yabba-di-Yup-Yup-Take-It-To-The-Bridge style.

    Winans ft. Teddy Riley, I believe. A friend of mine had the Winans record on CD when it came out, but all I remember is "It's Time".

    "A Friend" is better than "it's time" but it was a single also.


  • wow

    Keith Sweat/Make It Last Forever - Right And A Wrong Way
    Keith Sweat/Ill Give All My Love To You - Your Love Part 2
    Keith Sweat/Get Up On It - How Do You Like it Part 2
    Kut Klose/Surrender - I Like......This whole album is very Good New Jill Swing
    Damion Hall/Str8 To The Point - A Song For U.Hathaway cover w/ Aaron Hall
    Aaaron Hall/Dont Be Afraid - Dont Be Afraid (Sex You Down) Version
    Blackstreet - Joy...written by Michael Jackson....incredible
    Dru Hill - Love's Train....Confunkshon cover
    Lalah Hathaway - Im comin Back & I gotta Move On. She debuted durin NJS and dabbled w/ the production techniques. These songs arent NJS steez.
    Shanice - You Were The One For Me....NJS era steez but not NJS purely

    Check -

    Ralph Tresvant's Solo
    Jonny Gill's solo during New Edition

    And no NJS collection isnt complete w/out Bobby Brown's second solo joint.
    That shit really opened the door for the sound to gain public acceptance, cause Sweat was a Local Black Exp.

    Also -

    Kool Moe Dee and Big Daddy Kane - both cats contributed to the sounds appeal.
