In the shivering years at the turn of the millennium, boy bands were everywhere. The Backstreet Boys, ‘Nsync, Westlife and many more - they all contributed to give male vocal groups a bad name, or at least a more narrow audience: young teenage girls and nobody else. But since the decline of the boy band hysteria, the genre has returned to its rnb roots. Enter Git Fresh, the most charming rnb boy band we’ve seen in a decade. Their ‘Booty Music’ is a tribute to the raunchy Florida style of upbeat hiphop - perhaps not an ideal soundtrack for smooth lovemaking, unless you’re energetic like Git Fresh! As the point out: “Everybody don’t like it slow / consider me one of them folks”. The kick-drum is as sharp as anything from the dirty south, the acoustic guitar accompaniment sounds like an enchanting river, and the vocal melody is pure pop; this is music of creative contrasts. To hear a young sweet voice sing lines like “don’t stop, get it, get it/ pop that coochie, I’m-a hit it” - lyrics one expects to hear on a 2 Live Crew record - is as refreshing as it is irresistible. Git Fresh hits the spot.
