Cameo
Larry Blackmon and his crew pivoted away from their early style to embrace a leaner, synth-driven funk. The title track acts as a mission statement, showing they were ready to change while keeping their gritty edge.
Chocolate City Records provided a home for this transition, which merged the late-seventies funk energy with the cleaner engineering of 1980. It serves as a bridge between the raw dance floor sounds of the past and the high-tech grooves ahead.
