Album Nerds

New Jack Swing (Bobby Brown, Tony! Toni! Toné!, Janet Jackson)


Listen Later

For a few years in the late 80s and year 90s, new jack swing dominated the charts and pop culture. This fusion of RnB, pop and hip-hop was not only commercially successful, but it also produced some of the most iconic records of the time. Today on the show, we discuss three of those albums.

Bobby Brown – Don’t Be Cruel (Andy)

Tony! Toni! Toné! – The Revival (Don)

Janet Jackson – Rhythm Nation (Dude)
