California duo Junior High want to take you back to the 80's with this retro, drum machine inspired, synth heavy track with a message that is also purely 80s - "the party never ends".
Let Mike and Josh funk-you-up with their groove, then smooth-you-out with some melodic chord progressions.
The 1985 music video for "Attack Me With Your Love" is set in New York City and included appearances by Debbi Morgan, Spike Lee, Savion Glover, Maurice Hines, and Laurence Fishburne.
From the album Single Life(No. 2 Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums), the second of three albums(Strange being the first and Word Up the third)that would set the stage for the success of their 1986 Word Up(No. 1 Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums) album which solidified Cameo's place in contemporary music history as legends because of it's inventiveness and consistency.
Word Up resulted in the hits singles, "Word Up", "Back and Forth" and "Candy".
The Single Life album generated the hits "Attack Me With Your Love" and "Single Life".
I dig the way this duo is able to create their retro dance/funk sound and perform it live. Yeah, it's similar to Daft Punk, but earthier. Less electronic, a little more personal when it comes to vocal and musical arrangements.
It's good they began the tour in Europe to give him a chance to build the show up, work out the kinks before they bring it to the U.S.. When that tour hits Paris or London, that's when you can expect to see a tight production.
Check out D'Angelo performing the same song live on the Chris Rock show circa 2006:
Singer AdraBoo and DJ Action Jackson are Fly Royalty.
I've been familiar with Fly Moon Royalty for a minute. They're from Seattle, Washington and create some really good funk/electro/soul material. I've seen some of the live stuff online and was impressed.
Glad to heart they'll be releasing a self titled EP in the Spring of 2012.
"Give Me The Night" comes from the 1980 George Benson album of the same name on the Qwest/Warner Bros. label. It would reach platinum sales and be Quincy Jones' last time producing Benson.
The title song was written by Heatwave keyboardist and songwriter Rod Temperton and produced by Quincy Jones.
