I had been waiting on this project to happen for the longest time now and I wanted to love all of it. The music of Jam & Lewis has been part of the soundtrack of my young adult life, all the way back to when they worked with the S.O.S Band, Alexander O'Neal and Cherrelle. So naturally I was ecstatic to hear about this. But perhaps my expectations were a little high. There are some good cuts on this collection but unfortunately, nothing here will go down in history as "classic". It's very Adult Contemporary R&B, so that's why most of it sounds like a '90s nostalgia trip...which isn't necessarily a bad thing. The first single from the album, "He Don't Know Nothin' 'Bout It" that features Babyface made me hopeful, and was the reason why I brought this without hearing any other song from it. I really liked it, even though it is strikingly similar to a song Face made about 15 years ago ("Grown and Sexy")...same topic and everything... only thing that's different is the music and because of that, I could overlook everything else. The Sounds of Blackness, Heather Headley, Mariah Carey, Boyz II Men and the Morris Day/Jerome Benton/The Roots' selections I loved and I already have those on repeat... but everything else was kind of lukewarm for my tastes. They'll probably grow on me in time, but right now, I'm not really feeling them. Also startlingly absent from this project was Janet Jackson and New Edition, whose biggest successes were from collaborating with Jam & Lewis.
I get that the big attraction about this project was this legendary dynamic duo working mostly with artists they hadn't been musically linked to before, like Toni Braxton, Usher, Charlie Wilson and Mariah Carey. However, I also would have liked to have had some new, contemporary artists included in this (H.E.R. who J & L actually expressed interest in working with, or Bruno Mars or Snoh Aalegra, et al.) in addition to the stalwarts of R&B...this way this could have attracted an even wider audience. It also could have had two or three more songs...ten doesn't seem to be enough. But for the most part, it's worth the listen. Anxious to hear what Jam & Lewis will bring us in Vol. II.
I have greatly enjoyed this CD. This is music that makes you throw your hands up and say, "Oh yesss, baby, you betta sang!!!" I know this CD may not be for everyone, but it sure hits the spot for me! I think some people missed the whole point about Volume 1. Bringing Toni Braxon and Babyface on for this project should have been a clue as to what this Volume is all about. Babyface and Toni are all about ballads and silky smooth R&B slow jam. If Luther Vandross was still with us, I'm sure he would have been featured on this CD too. Volume 1's central theme is around Jam & Lewis' old school and soulful R&B sounds. This is the "chill" CD volume. I anticipate J & L will break out with more of the faster beats/dance tunes for Volume 2. Pretty certain Janet Jackson will be featured on the next volume, so we need to stay tuned. I plan to collect whatever J & L puts out because it's all deliciously good! Thank you, J & L for the memories and the new music. The last song on Volume 1 gets you up dancing and primed for what's to come ... Volume 2. I can't wait!
I've always been a huge J&L fan from the early beginnings (e.g. Bad Times by Captain Rapp '83). Throughout the years they've created some of the most memorable and innovative R&B/Soul/Dance jams of our time. It's great to see them finally produce their first self credited studio album.
The project shines through with a variety of infectious grooves and warm melodies, each shinning on their own and staying true to the respective artist's unique style and persona. Especially excited to see them pair with the equally talented Babyface. A three man production dream team! While I think some tracks are notably stronger than others, Jam & Lewis hit more than miss on this project. Great job fellas! Definitely looking forward to the next installment...
I fell in love with the Babyface released single the 1st time I heard it played. Bought the CD just for that 1 song. Fell in love with the first song & felt real closeness to the spirit. I adore Mary J but was disappointed in the song she performed. It was NOT her voice but the song was mediocre like the rest of the songs on the cd. The song with Morris Day was a fun throwback. So I only got 3 songs out of the 10 that touched & pleased my heart. I hope Vol 2 is better.
Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis pick up this idea from Quincy Jones and ran with it! This is a great piece of old school Album that would make Q proud. There is great music by a wide range of musicians and it is an enjoyable ride they take us on with this new offering!!
