Emotions Dancing With Joi! - don't sleep on it!

I've loved Joi's music since I first heard "Sunshine and the Rain". It was something about it. It was quite moody, dark and rhythmic - like sunshine and rain. I don't know where my head was and where I was when I heard it, but it just made me think - this is great, I gotta have this! So I purchased the tape and I loved it, eventhough no one I knew was into the single or the album Pendulum Vibe. Flash forward...Joi disappeared only to re-emerge with Star Kitty's Revenge. I had to have it. It was YEARS since her last album and even with many cameos and a stint with Lucy Pearl, I was not "fixed" until I had THAT CD in my possession. I loved it! It was freaky, honest, and explorative. So here I sit with her latest installment of hits - TENNESSEE SLIM IS THE BOMB! 'Nuff Said in the title because it is the BOMB! Albeit, I'm late as h*ll getting it ( it came out in April), I'm still glad to have it. This time Joi is heartbroken and not afraid to explore the valleys of love's vicissitude. Unlike other artist I've heard who have devoted an album to relationships, Joi rhythmically (and sometimes sarcastically) goes to all sides of the table to get the best angle only to deliver the 8 ball in the corner pocket on being "in" love, being "out" of love, infatuation, lust, and redemption. Last, the best thing, with the exception of one song, I can listen to this album from beginning to end loving every lyric and beat on it. Don't underestimate Joi, you want this CD in your collection.

HOT TO DEATH!

I was forewarned about the "Uncle Speaks" interludes so I just deleted them. This whole album is raw! Joi always brings the funk and the synthesizers! The R&B tracks are just as hot but in a totally different way. Joi's voice is so damn pure. Her lyrics make you feel her pain, uncertainty, devotion, and anger with her ex(es). I think some of those hurtful thoughts she shares are all about ex-husband Big Gipp of Goodie Mob fame, and others about a mysterious lover. It feels like we are peeking into her bedroom and her life. "Maybe" as well as "Dance With Yesterday" are just magnificent! Other hot azz track are, "I'm So Famous" and "That's The Truth." Joi shows that she can switch genres with old school (1940's) jazz on "I Love You Forever,Right Now" and brings the crunk with "Say,Say Lil' Fine A*s Ni**ah."

Truly A Hidden Gem

Excellent, a blend of r&b, rock, and pure soul. Buy it......NOW!

Natives of Bengal, India, the Shamsher brothers — Asian/Anglo DJ-vocalists Haroon and Farook — first attracted attention in the early-'90s as members of the Joi Bengal Sound System.
