Jodeci – Forever My Lady (CD)

Jodeci arrived in 1991 with a sound that rewired what R&B could be, blending the raw emotional intensity of gospel with a street-level grit that New Jack Swing hadn't quite touched before. *Forever My Lady* launched K-Ci, JoJo, DeVante Swing, and Dalvin DeGrate into a different stratosphere, and its influence runs straight through every harmony-driven R&B group that followed. Thirty-five years on, the debut still hits with the same desperate, churchified hunger it always did.
