	New jack swing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		New jack swing is a hybrid style of rhythm and blues (RandB) combined with hip hop, popular from the late 1980s to early/mid-1990s.
		Its sound is a blend of the sporadic hip hop "swing" beats (so called because of the extreme use of rhythmic improvisation), which were popular during the golden age of hip hop, with contemporary randb style singing.
		New jack swing is also known for its aggression, swaggering and addressing romantic themes and lyrics.

	New Jack Swing
		New Jack Swing emerged in the latter half of the decade, reaching a zenith around 1990, with the huge success of Bell Biv Devoe’s single Poison.
		The term “swing” referred to the rhythm, which often employed a combination of straight 8ths, 16th-note shuffles, and 16th-note swing patterns (in Europe, the music was sometimes known as Swingbeat and this name survives in the Netherlands, which for some reason is a stronghold of New Jack Swing fandom).

	New Edition - Biography - AOL Music
		New Edition's early, Jackson 5-inspired material made them the forerunners of two generations of teen pop (most of which was geared to white audiences).
		In fact, after New Edition drifted apart, all of its members had at least some significant success outside the group as part of the new jack movement, which helped ensure that their original incarnation would be remembered for much more than the bubblegum urban soul that made their name.
		New Edition was formed in the Roxbury section of Boston, MA, by Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins, and Bobby Brown, who began singing together in 1978 while still in elementary school, hoping to perform for pocket cash.

	The New Jack Swing Era
		New Jack Swing emerged in the latter half of the decade, reaching a high point some time around 1990 with the huge success of Bell Biv Devoe’s single Poison.
		The same year saw the release of the Wreckx-n-Effects track New Jack Swing, another possible source for the name; in either case, it seems clear that 1991's mainstream press frenzy was symptomatic of the genre's quick slide into irrelevance.
		New Edition gave Michael Bivins the experience that he’d use to groom ABC and Boyz II Men: the family seed must be perpetuated.

		New jack swing is a hybrid style of rhythm and blues (RandB) or soul music combined with hip hop, popular from the late 1980s to early/mid-1990s.
		Also called "new jack RandB" or "swingbeat", the term was coined either by journalist and New Jack City co-writer Barry Michael Cooper or music artist/producer Teddy Riley who invented this style in the experiment of integrating hip-hop rhythms, samples and production techniques with the urban contemporary RandB sound.
		New jack swing is mellifluously soulful solo or harmonizing vocals sung over funky, rap rhythms.

		New Jack Swing evolved in the late '80s, when urban contemporary soul artists began incorporating hip-hop rhythms, samples, and production techniques into their sound.
		Although not as well-known as other New York hip-hop acts of the early '80s, Staten Island's Force M.D.'s were a vital crew in the early history of street hip-hop and one of the first vocal groups to fuse doo wop-influenced harmonies with hip-hop beats.
		Picking up from New Edition and especially New Kids on the Block, who were subsiding just as they emerged, Color Me Badd, along with Boyz II Men, was the teen-oriented male vocal group of their day, complete with hype, videos, silly haircuts, and four interweaving mediocre tenor voices.

		While Guy's "New Jack City," and Troop's cover of the O'Jays' "For The Love Of Money," titled "For the Love of Money/Living for the City," are the albums better New Jack Swing moments; Aaron Hall's vocals are in prime form, sounding dope.
		Recorded in '91 (when new jack swing was on the downslope), brief moments of revival sprung up with the release of this album.
		I remember seeing New Jack City back when I was in the 3rd grade and I am now a sophomore in college and there were two songs that were on this soundtrack that always stood out.

	Bobby Brown - Biography - AOL Music
		One of the brightest R&B stars of the late '80s and early '90s, Bobby Brown was the man who popularized new jack swing, a blend of classic soul, urban synth-funk, and hip-hop rhythms that often featured rap breaks in between the conventionally melodic verses and choruses.
		Just before his new album, Bobby, was released in the summer of 1992, Brown married superstar diva Whitney Houston, who sang the duet "Something in Common" on the new record.
		Upon his release, Brown began working in earnest on a new album, which was derailed for a time when he suffered a seizure in the summer of 2001, reportedly from heat exhaustion and dehydration.

	Metroblogging Los Angeles: New Jack Swing
		Jack sounds too much like a cross between KBIG and Arrow to me. The station promises a wide range of music and prides itself on "trainwrecks" between wildly different songs, but I don't hear it.
		Perhaps Jack is as he states, and not as eclectic as similar formats in other markets, but it's damn near the most interesting mix of music I've heard since KSCA, and with far broader and deeper a playlist than KBIG and Arrow combined.
		Jack is the playlist on our iPods and iTunes that we NEVER set to "Share." They play Ratt, and we like it, even if we dare not share that dark secret with even our significant others.

		For all of his efforts, he was pleasantly rewarded, reeling off an unprecedented FIVE hit singles including the new jack staples ("she's got that vibe", "hey love"), and the flawless ballads ("slow dance", "honey love", "dedicated").
		The rest of the album is pleasant new jack, with "born into the '90s" being the best track, but the story of this set is the ballads.
		For all of its innovation and originality, born into the '90s is a must-have for new jack fans and essential for jeep soul followers.

	Guy: Reviews, Discography, Audio Clips, and more \|\|\| Music.com
		One of the most seminal and influential releases of late '80s, Guy 's self-titled debut album did more than its part to popularize new jack swing, a style that would soon become inescapable on urban contemporary radio.
		Teddy Riley didn't actually invent new jack swing with Guy -- he'd already gotten the ball rolling on Keith Sweat 's 1987 debut Make It Last Forever -- but this album did more than any other to make it so incredibly popular in the RandB world.
		With their tough blend of hip-hop, RandB, and Gap Band -influenced funk, hits like "Groove Me" and "Teddy's Jam" defined new jack swing and served as the blueprint for countless new jack recordings in the late '80s and early to mid-'90s.

		Jack has a strong voice but seems stuck in the lounge singer role on this CD.

	Teddy Riley (new jack swing) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		Riley is mostly responsible for making a successful fusion of hip-hop and RandB in the late 1980s which was called New Jack Swing.
		At the start of 2006, Riley started the New Jack Swing revival, with the New Jack reunion tour, featuring acts, in addition to BLACKstreet and Guy, After 7, SWV and Tony Toni Toné.

		Effectively revolutionizing '80s R&B by appealing to a younger audience raised on hip-hop and MTV, new jack swing married careening vocals and urban music's increasingly silky production to brash beats, rapped breaks, and heavily synthetic funk.
		Not coincidentally in the least, both albums were produced by new jack swing mastermind Teddy Riley, who himself led the talented, successful late '80s new jack swing trio Guy.
		Nonetheless, the cosmetic influence of new jack swing on much of the top-selling R&B that followed--from 112 and Usher to Jagged Edge--is undeniable.

		Though the movie from whence comes the music on the album is a classic in its own right, the soundtrack is more a time capsule of what we listened to and danced to in 1991.
		While the two in their respective original forms are just as thrilling today as they were three decades ago, the "new jack swing" version found on the soundtrack pales in comparison, which bears evidence to the fact that some songs cannot be remade.
		New Jack City is one of the movies that really made me realize what was going on out there in the streets.

		The seminal RandB trio, GUY, was the first group to sport the new jack swing sound, essentially traditional soul vocals melded to hip-hop beats.
		In 1989 he sang on two RandB hits: “Where Do We Go from Here” and “One Love.” Gill finally scored as a solo singer in 1990 with the release of his album Johnny Gill, which sold a million copies, topped the RandB chart, and made the Top Ten in the pop chart.
		The beats were funkier, the lyrics and vocals were sexier, and the overall sound had a harder, hip-hop-tinged edge.

		The LOVE BOAT singer drops anchor at 10 musical ports, each one different from the rest, but all intimate and playful.
		The arrangements, whether rhythm accompaniments or full orchestrations, provide swinging support, and frame Jack Jones' relaxed, almost conversational belting.
		There's a comparable quality to Sinatra when he swings "All or Nothing at All" and "Mack the Knife", but Jones retains his own, unique identity, bringing the songs to life with rhythmical combinations of quiet understatement and gravelly blues.
