Music reviews of It's About Time
Music Review: Its about time for this review
Rating: 4 Stars
SWV was one of those groups in the early 90s that was guaranteed to give you a great album that was fun to listen too. Yeah, you remember when R&B was fun and soulful and not this laborious and soulless junk you hear now.
SWV not only could sing but they made some classic love jams that made R&B history.
It's About Time had plenty of great tracks like Anything, Im So Into You, Right Here, Weak and You're Always On My Mind. Me personally I never thought Downtown was a bad song. It was alright but not a terrible song that belongs an awesomely bad list countdown from the same clowns that wouldnt put any Eminem songs on that list to save their lives even though the majority of Encore belongs on that list. Like I said, Downtown is alright. Khia's My Neck My Back is awesomely bad raunchy record.
Give It To Me, Coming Home and the seductive title track are all great vintage SWV tracks. There are two songs I was never cool with: Blak Pudd'n is straight up corny and SWV (In The House) is not far behind as Coko exclaims that she can make a man's nature rise with the way she sings(lol!). The album closes out with Right Here/Human Nature Remix which beautifully samples Michael Jackson's Human Nature.
In closing SWV's Its About Time is a great album by a trio that captures everything that made 90s R&B so wonderful with this album as well as their next two releases(SWV: The Remixes and The New Beginning). Listen to it as well as other artists from the 90s and you will see the difference between R&B back then and R&B now.
Description of It's About Time
24bit K2 digitally remastered Japanese limited edition special issue of the album classic.Once En Vogue proved that old-fashioned gospel-soul female harmonies could create sparks with modern street beats, every record company went looking for young singers to hook up with new-jack-swing producers. Those efforts bear fruit with SWV, which stands for Sisters with Voices, and the three teenaged singers from New York really do have great pipes, capable of a distinctive sound that can dominate a production rather than the other way around. Cheryl "Coko" Gordon, the trio's lead singer, boasts a great range that allows her to sound tough and sultry in her gritty alto, and romantic and flirty in her trilling soprano. SWV's debut album includes 13 different songs, plus two alternate mixes, and the best tracks are the 10 written and produced by Brian Alexander Morgan, who knows how to create the melodies that all great harmonies must start with. The first single, "Right Here," features a very funky, push-and-pull rhythm track, but the three singers reclaim the song with harmonies that are very percussive themselves but with lots of melody and romantic personality as well. The single, "Weak," is a ballad that allows Gordon to confess her infatuated weakness without ever sounding like a weakling as she hits the beats confidently and purrs in anticipation. --Geoffrey Himes
