by
Sounds of Blackness
Nothing on Africa to America tops the shining moments -- "Optimistic" and "Testify" -- on Sounds of Blackness' debut, Evolution of Gospel. However, all things considered, Africa to America is probably the better album. And if it's not the better album, it's surely the more consistent of the two. Where Jimmy Jam's and Terry Lewis' efforts were ...

by
Sounds of Blackness
Time for Healing signaled the departure of producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis from the Sounds of Blackness camp. Sounds of Blackness -- and particularly group leader Gary Hines -- also abandon the new jack swing motifs of previous albums in favor of a more urban approach. Given the album's 1997 release date, this isn't surprising -- new jack ...

Sounds of Blackness
Though from beginning to end one of the best gospel albums of its era, The Evolution of Gospel became and remains noteworthy because of three songs in particular: "Optimistic," "The Pressure," and "Testify." These three songs rocketed to the upper reaches of the R&B charts in 1992, all three entering the Top 20 and "Optimistic" peaking at number ...

Sounds of Blackness
Capitalizing on the unexpected success of the group's debut album, The Evolution of Gospel, Sounds of Blackness delivered The Night Before Christmas in late 1992, just in time for the holiday season. It's fairly safe to consider this a rushed project. Sounds of Blackness were still riding high on the success of singles like "Optimistic" and ...

Sounds of Blackness
Up until the time of The Very Best of Sounds of Blackness' release in late 2001, you headed straight to Evolution of Gospel if you wanted to hear Sounds of Blackness. That album had the group's biggest hits -- "Optimistic," "Testify," and "The Pressure" -- songs that not only scaled the R&B charts but partly defined an era. And, for many listeners ...

We Rocked the World!: Jesse Ventura and Minnesota Music Rock On is a mixture of state pride and marketing gimmick, interspersing sound bites from then-newly elected governor Jesse Ventura with selections by a crop of Minnesota-based musicians.

Sounds of Blackness released their first Christmas album, Night Before Christmas: A Musical Fantasy, back in 1992. Produced by Terry Lewis and Jimmy Jam, one of the most dominant urban production teams of the 1980s, it was full of the big, cavernous, and somewhat trippy R&B sound the duo specialized in, and the result, at least to some ears, was ...
