Michael Jackson – Baby Be Mine
Love this tune. I’m a huge MJ fan and this is an underrated one IMO!
The Brand New Heavies – Never Stop
Acid Jazz! This is so funky and to me is just slow house music. What a vibe.
Peggy Gou & Lenny Kravitz – I Believe In Love Again
More Acid Jazz! I thought this tune was kind of slept on. I love that Peggy Gou went so left after her huge success with ‘It Goes Like’
Patrice Rushen – Forget Me Nots
80’s R&B will always be my sh*t. I love musicality and the 80s was rife with it.
Luther Vandross – Never Too Much
More 80’s! Luther was a god and this is a stone cold groove.
Janet Jackson – All For You
I’m a big Janet fan! Her music is always so forward thinking. Wish her tour t-shirt still fit me, lol.
Coco & Breezy – Off My Mind
Shameless plug! I worked on this one and think they did a great job.
Oliver Cheatham – Get Down Saturday Night
How does a 40 year old record sound so new!? Why was music in the 80’s so good??
Cheryl Lynn – Encore
I love 80’s music as you can tell! The 80’s and the 90’s feel like the last era of real musicality in pop music.
Mariah Carey – Emotions
I’m a sucker for divas! Produced by C&C Music Factory! Mariah in the 90’s was god level.
Thando, Teo Mandrelli ‘Let’s Go Together’ is out now.
