The sophistication and playfulness of New Jack Swing
Tony Tony Toné has created a house of sound where R&B tradition and innovation come together in harmony.
The perfect balance of live instruments and sampling creates a warm groove. The production, led by Raphael Saadiq, pays homage to vintage soul while establishing a 90s sound. The album's composition is also impressive, with ballads like "Thinking Of You" coexisting beautifully with up-tempo dance tunes.
