World Clique

Deee lete

A Scooby Doo episode in which Fred, Velma and Daphne follow a trail of day-glo, pheremones and good beats, only to find it's led them to each other and their coming of age in the post-disco era. They then Scooby Screw each other with reckless abandon and dance their way through the emotions they don't yet understand, gabbing on the way home about the power of love and the groove in their hearts. Zoo-zoo-wah, indeed!

This turned from 4 to 5 stars when the "I'd probably put it on again" criteria I use for a 4 rating turned into "I actually put it on again more than once later in the week." It's jam. It's a vibe. And I'm into it.

In the late 80s, most folks my age looked with horror at the psychedelic looks and sounds of the late sixties and early seventies. Tangerine, avocado, lemon, tomato: these colors (not foods) filled thrift stores because no one wanted them. Most of my peers were in Goth Black or Eco Earth Tones. Gloomy Grunge was fighting its way into the mainstream. Austin Powers and the Brady Bunch movie were some years away. "Groove is in the Heart" hit me like a truck. It was so fun and so groovy (and we weren't allowed to say groovy anymore), and when I saw the video I swooned. These weren't things we heard and saw. Sampling and mixing sounds at a level such as this was brand new, and on top of that it was catchy and made you want to move! And then the video! Glorious color and movement! Finally something made for me! It would be hard to judge how creative and innovative this album was at the time just listening to it today. This was one of the first CDs I bought when I finally got a player. I may have overplayed it in the 90s, so that I didn't really revisit it after that. It was really fun to listen to the whole thing again for the first time in a couple of decades. Sure, there's a nostalgia element to my rating, but that's one of the reasons I'm here.

Groove is truly in the heart. My heart.

I was so deee-lited today! (Yeah, I said it.) Smooth and funky love.

2.9 - "Groove is in the Heart", the rest is in the bin.

The question foremost in my mind going into this album was “Is there more to it than ‘Groove Is in the Heart’?” And the answer is a resounding no. That track is the sole bright spot on this album - a funky throwback that sounds like nothing else on this record and was a huge hit around the globe (the fact that it had an eye popping, candy colored music video probably didn’t hurt). The rest of the album unfortunately sounds like bog standard late 80’s/early 90’s electronic/dance music with the occasional strangeness (“Who Was That?” being a prime example of the latter) thrown in. I am someone who tries to find the silver lining in things however - and I’ve got to hand it to “1,001 Albums You Must Listen to Before You Die” for this - the preponderance of electronic/dance albums I’ve gotten so far has moved me from someone who thought it wasn’t a genre for them to someone who knows that it isn’t a genre for them.

This a dubious inclusion on this list. I would characterize this band as more of a one hit wonder, rather than one that put out an album that one must listen to before they die.

This thing is so vibrant, artists spend years chasing the highs of “groove”

I JUST WANNA HEAR A GOOD BEAT 10/10

One of the top public reviews states that this is Daphne, Velma and Fred from Scooby Doo and their coming of age. You're so wrong, it's Shaggy!! #JusticeForShaggy Really enjoyed this album, very groovy indeed!! Saved tracks: Good Beat, E.S.P., Groove Is In The Heart, Deep Ending

Sweetly optimistic 90's. Refreshing, from having been raised on '00s cynicism.

amazing, what is love is a brilliant song, and all of it is a super fun listen

World Clique grew on me in a shocking way - shocking because it didn't break 90's-dance-album form. Instead, it revealed itself as a better and better project over the runtime. My only theoretical explanation is how well sound-designed the tunes are. The samples move through space in a way that most produced pop does not. This is extra-impressive since the songs are house-minimal. And beyond the theoretical I can only say that I bounced more and more as I listened.

Sounds like Americans trying to do Madchester. Not a bad facsimile, but still not the same.

All-time favorite. This album raised me in a couple ways, probably. Lady Miss Kier an all-time legend. All three Deee-Lite albums rock

A fun and funky blast from my past. It's been a while since I listened to this album but it is still very enjoyable.

Of course I’m very familiar with “Groove is in the Heart”, but I was surprised to see that this album was already in my music library. So apparently I have listened to this some time ago. It’s hard to believe this is from 1990. The album is a lot of fun with groovy music to match the groovy cover. Great listen!

What a surprise. I knew the hit but didn't expect the album to be so good

Is there a name for that particular sort of piano playing style that 90’s Dance music used so often? The plinky plonky stuff that sounds a little like rag time? Cos it’s all over this album, and I’ve always thought it sounded cool. Although a lot of the album blended into the background a bit, it was never boring or unpleasant, and I could understand why it was possibly influential, although I don’t know if it was for certain. But Groove Is In The Heart is a classic, and the rest of the album was fine

When I bought this album as a 26 year old I was more than half convinced that guitar based pop was all but dead. The charts were filled (aside from the usual dross) with thinly-disguised, floor-filling paeans to hedonism and disco biscuits and any references to "love" we're usually code for getting twatted with a load of gurning strangers in a field just outside the M25. It didn't really work out that way, I suppose, which is probably for the best. Anyway, it's an absolute age since I've played this record and I'm surprised at how housey it is. Sure enough, as well as locating precisely where groove is, it also defines "love" as a neo-hippyish shared, no doubt chemically-induced, experience. I'd have had no problem with that back in the day but I find it slightly irritating and dated these days. I know, I know... I'm getting old. To be fair, I enjoyed it a lot more than I've let on so far. Aside from the housey piano riffs and hedonistic pseudo-philosophising, there's also plenty of playful and inventive use of break beats and samples and Lady Miss Kier radiates star quality - it's just that I'm not 26 any more and I don't care about this sort of music half as much as I used to.

I quite enjoyed this actually, although besides 'Groove is in the heart' there aren't really (m)any other memorable songs.

By 1990, the excess of the 1980s had reached critical mass.  With apex-excess achieved, nearly everyone wore garish fluorescent or neon colored clothing, and if you were particularly cool, you had fluorescent colored clothes that changed color as your body heated up or when someone placed their hand upon your shirt. We were no longer content with only using laces to tighten the shoes around our feet. Our shoes had inflatable plastic reservoirs built into them which we would fill with air by way of pumping a rubber ball on the tongue of the shoe, all in the quest to achieve maximum podiatric comfort.   It was a simpler time…a time when Parker Lewis couldn’t lose, when the C&C corporation unveiled their cutting edge Music Factory, and the mere act of barfing on the Prime Minister of Japan could ruin your chances at presidential reelection.  Our dance music was funky and repetitive with one word vocal samples that echoed throughout dance halls across the nation… It was the best of times, and it was the worst of times.

## In-Depth Review: *World Clique* by Deee-Lite Deee-Lite’s *World Clique* (1990) stands as a defining moment in dance music, fusing house, funk, disco, techno, and hip-hop into a kaleidoscopic celebration of joy, inclusivity, and groove. This review explores the album’s lyrics, music, production, themes, and influence, and concludes with a balanced assessment of its strengths and weaknesses. --- ## **Lyrics** The lyrics on *World Clique* are characterized by their optimism, playfulness, and universal appeal. Lady Miss Kier’s writing focuses on themes of love, unity, self-expression, and positivity. - **Universal Love and Joy:** Tracks like “Good Beat” and “World Clique” champion togetherness and the power of music to unite people across boundaries. The refrain “I just wanna hear a good beat” is not an escapist mantra but a call for a rhythm that brings people together, transcending differences and divisions[4]. - **Philosophical Playfulness:** “What Is Love?” poses existential questions in a playful, almost childlike manner, with the lyrics eventually dissolving into scatting-a universal musical language[4]. - **Empowerment and Self-Expression:** “Try Me On, I’m Very You” flips the Golden Rule into an invitation for mutual exploration and acceptance, celebrating love as a commandment rather than a judgment[4]. - **Simplicity and Sincerity:** Songs like “Smile On” embrace the power of a smile as a universal gesture, sometimes bordering on the trite, but delivered with such sincerity that it feels genuine and uplifting[4]. The lyrics are rarely political in a direct sense, but they carry an undercurrent of cultural commentary, advocating for openness, respect, and joy in the face of global discord[4]. --- ## **Music** *World Clique* is a genre-blending tour de force, merging the sounds of New York’s late-’80s and early-’90s club culture into a cohesive, danceable package. - **Genre Fusion:** The album is a “funky brew” of hip-hop, house, disco, and techno, with touches of ambient and psychedelic influences[3][4]. This fusion is most evident in tracks like “Groove Is in the Heart,” which combines a Herbie Hancock bass sample, Bootsy Collins’ vocals and bass, and a rap from Q-Tip, all layered over a driving dance beat[3]. - **Instrumentation and Guest Musicians:** The presence of funk legends like Bootsy Collins and Maceo Parker (horns), as well as Q-Tip, adds authentic funk and hip-hop flavors to the mix[1][4]. The use of live horns, slap bass, and jazzy piano lines gives the album a rich, organic feel, contrasting with the synthetic textures of house and techno. - **Melodic and Rhythmic Diversity:** Songs range from the deep house grooves of “Deep Ending” and “Build the Bridge” to the retro-funk of “Smile On” and “Try Me On, I’m Very You.” The album’s tempos vary, with “What Is Love?” standing out for its slower, more contemplative pace[5]. - **Hooks and Danceability:** Nearly every track is built around infectious hooks and rhythms designed for the dancefloor, ensuring the album’s enduring popularity in clubs[3]. --- ## **Production** The production on *World Clique* is both polished and adventurous, reflecting the trio’s background as DJs and their immersion in club culture. - **Sampling and Sound Design:** Towa Tei’s crate-digging prowess is evident in the album’s creative use of samples, which are seamlessly integrated into original compositions[5]. The production is layered, with intricate percussion, swirling synths, and unexpected sonic flourishes. - **Live and Electronic Balance:** The album strikes a balance between live instrumentation (bass, horns, piano) and electronic elements (drum machines, synths), resulting in a sound that feels both timeless and of its era[1][4]. - **Vocal Production:** Lady Miss Kier’s vocals are treated with effects that enhance their psychedelic, playful quality without obscuring their warmth and clarity. Her delivery is soulful, charismatic, and often tinged with humor and irony[2]. - **Mixing and Dynamics:** The album’s mix is dynamic and spacious, allowing each element-whether it’s a slap bass, a horn stab, or a vocal ad-lib-to shine without overcrowding the sonic space. --- ## **Themes** *World Clique* is thematically unified by its celebration of diversity, positivity, and the transformative power of dance music. - **Inclusivity and Individuality:** The album is a manifesto for self-expression and acceptance, inviting listeners to embrace their “funky, freaky little selves” and break free from the constraints of “normality”[2]. - **Optimism and Escapism:** While the lyrics are often lighthearted, there’s a deeper message of hope and resilience, offering the dancefloor as a space of healing and connection[1]. - **Cultural Pride and Global Consciousness:** The album’s opening track, “Deee-Lite Theme,” announces its intent to celebrate the “global village” in the “age of communication,” positioning dance music as a universal language[4]. - **Playfulness and Irony:** The trio’s campy, psychedelic aesthetic is both a homage to and a parody of past eras, blending nostalgia with forward-thinking creativity[3]. --- ## **Influence** *World Clique* was both a product of its time and a catalyst for future trends in dance music and pop culture. - **Mainstreaming Club Culture:** The album brought the sounds of New York’s underground clubs to mainstream audiences, paving the way for the global rise of electronic dance music in the 1990s and beyond[3]. - **Genre Hybridization:** By fusing house, funk, hip-hop, and disco, Deee-Lite anticipated the genre-blurring approach that would become standard in pop and electronic music[3]. - **Visual and Cultural Impact:** The group’s flamboyant style, inclusive ethos, and playful irreverence influenced the aesthetics of club culture and pop fashion, prefiguring later acts like Lady Gaga[3]. - **Enduring Legacy:** “Groove Is in the Heart” remains a perennial dancefloor favorite, and the album as a whole is still celebrated for its freshness, relevance, and joy, even decades after its release[2][3][4]. --- ## **Pros and Cons** ### **Pros** - **Innovative Genre Fusion:** Seamlessly blends house, funk, disco, hip-hop, and techno into a unique, danceable sound[3][4]. - **Uplifting, Inclusive Lyrics:** Promotes messages of love, unity, and self-expression, delivered with sincerity and wit[1][2][4]. - **Memorable Hooks and Dancefloor Appeal:** Nearly every track is catchy and designed to get people moving, ensuring the album’s longevity in clubs[3]. - **Strong Production Values:** Balances live instrumentation with electronic elements, resulting in a rich, textured sound[1][5]. - **Cultural and Visual Impact:** Helped bring club culture into the mainstream and influenced the aesthetics of pop music and fashion[3]. - **Guest Contributions:** Features standout performances from Bootsy Collins, Maceo Parker, and Q-Tip, adding depth and authenticity[1][4]. ### **Cons** - **Lyrical Simplicity:** Some lyrics can feel overly simplistic or even trite, especially on tracks like “Smile On,” potentially limiting their emotional depth for some listeners[4]. - **Stylistic Consistency:** While the album’s genre fusion is a strength, it can also lead to a sense of sameness across tracks, with some songs blending into one another[4]. - **Dated Production Elements:** Certain production choices, such as specific synth sounds or drum machine patterns, may sound dated to modern ears, though this is also part of the album’s charm for many[3]. - **Limited Political Engagement:** Compared to Deee-Lite’s later work, *World Clique* is less overtly political, which may disappoint listeners seeking deeper social commentary[1]. - **Follow-Up Overshadowed:** The album’s massive success set a high bar that Deee-Lite’s subsequent releases struggled to match, leading to the group’s eventual dissolution[3]. --- ## **Conclusion** *World Clique* by Deee-Lite is a landmark album that distilled the energy, optimism, and diversity of early-’90s club culture into a vibrant, enduring work. Its blend of genres, infectious rhythms, and messages of love and inclusivity made it a touchstone for both dance music and pop culture. While some lyrics may lack depth and certain production elements have aged, the album’s spirit remains as fresh and relevant as ever. For fans of dance music, pop, or anyone seeking a joyful, unifying listening experience, *World Clique* is essential-an exuberant celebration of the power of music to bring people together.

cool

A Favorite!

My sister introduced me to this one when I was in middle school,I felt so cool. Most of the album is a chill vibe and then the titular song comes out of nowhere. You can tell they threw everything into it, soooo many samples. Bootsy Collins AND Q-Tip?! I have heard that song 1,000 times and it will never get old.

Surprisingly good fun. Wishing the ratings were out of 10 as this is a 3.5/5

I liked this album, nice listening to something different that I like! 4 stars

This cheap cake filled with repetitive lyrics and terrible puns is surprisingly enjoyable. It's fun, the beats and the hooks are nice, and it's very '90s.

very groove and fun vibes! some songs remind me of Earthbound OSTs so it gets bonus points for that ( ^ω^ )

it is wild how Deee-Lite got onto the whole diva house thing like a year after the trend started popping off. of course, nobody's really here for cuts like "Good Beat" or "Who Was That?", but we'll get to that soon. when i was first getting into late 80s and early 90s house, i was sort of offput by how synthetic and often cornball the components sounded, too synthetic for its own good. now, of course, i find a lot of charm in those odd squelchy basslines and UK soul inspired cuts. even if i'm probably not going to remember most of them, they're a lovely little time capsule. the record tries a little bit of everything, and whether you think it was successful or not depends on whether you think it stands up to the deep cuts they were inspired by. i dunno if i'd trade "Deep Ending" for anything off of Strictly Rhythm, even thought i like it. of course, then there's "Groove Is in the Heart". this song sounds, looks, and feels eight years ahead of when it came out. its livelier than the rest of the cuts on the record, and i actually don't know how they pulled it off. everyone was capable of it, no doubt, but you gotta assume they were really surprised in the studio when they got everything but the guest spots done. like, "wait what the fuck? how did we do that?" it's like being the first person to BLJ in Super Mario 64 in the 90s. something beautiful and terrifying has been enacted by your hands, and you're not sure you can do it again. but pretty soon, everyone's gonna be doing it, and they'll look to you as some mad pioneer.

Very average album with a very average hit, that doesn't even feel like it belongs. Very specific style, that probably worked in quirky 90s, but is rather boring nowadays. Not much to say about this album.

De la house ma foi sympatoche même si carrément pas terrible en fait.

En ce mardi matin de defaite footballistique, mon humeur etait des plus deplorables. Néammoins, le generateur me fasait une belle promesse en me servant sur un plateau le groupe Deee-Light, aux lettres non sans rappeler les plus belles heures de la voix de nez. Quelle ne fut pas ma deception à l'écoute de cet album, ou les principes fondamentaux de la voix de nez ne sont absolument pas respectés. Deee-Light fait honte a toute une frange de l'industrie musicale, choisissant volontairement un nom de scène faisant référence à l'univers de la nasalité, sans pour autant proposer une performance en adéquation avec les attentes. La quantité d'air insuflée entre les parois nasales de la chanteuse principale est grandement insuffisante, Dee-Light n'est tout simplement pas digne de son nom.

Sounds pretty dated and i can't say i love just sitting down and listening to a whole album of dance music. these tracks are all pretty goofy, but i can tell that a lot of them would be really fun to dance to. last song with the animal noises is pretty annoying.

Listens: 1 Standout tracks: meh This will be my second 1 in 75+ albums. I cannot understand how something like this made the list. Why? What does this album contribute musically to the zeitgeist? Does anyone actually go out of their way to listen to this outside of a dance club or other such setting in which people are dancing and raving to electronica music? Needless to say, I was not a fan.

I had a feeling this would be bad. Then I found out the members are called Super DJ Dimitry, Jungle DJ Towa Towa and The Lady Miss Kier Kirby. That’s when I knew all hope was gone. Deee-Lite is the reason the 1001 Songs list exists.

I never liked the song they're known for, so an album of similar 1990 NYC club music is meh. Not every cut was terrible. Smile On was decent, and What Is Love has some cool synths. But on the whole, nah. It's a one-hit wonder album. This spot could've gone to a much better act from an underrepresented part of the world on this list.

An easy way to identify whether an artist sucks is if they shout their own name in any of their songs.

I could’ve gone the rest of my life without listening to this. This album is hardly influential, a one hit wonder that should’ve been left in the 90s

really only worth it for the one big hit single huh? maybe the second track too. but, otherwise, pretty unimpressive.

Struggling to come up with a less essential album than this. Imagine being 95 years old and listening to this on your death bed. I'm pretty sure you would melt like the guy from Raiders of the Lost Ark.

A particular combination of pop vocals, funky grooves and drum breaks. Besides, the piano is key and I recognized the Korg M1 around...

I liked it, honestly didn't listen to the whole thing but it brought straight vibes and it will be a revisit for me for sure.

Oh come on how can anyone hate this record? Fucking fun police. This record is full of FUN and interesting songs, never feeling one note but keeping the same vibe throughout. "Groove Is In the Heart" obviously steals the show, but the rest of these songs hold their own. I adore the amount of sounds on here, like a fucking slide whistle. So cool. Just look at the album cover, how can you look at that and say you hate it?

Hell yeah- love it when Bootsy shows up outside of P-funk. One of my favorite bass players of all time

Brilliant album

Sign me up for more

Praise Lady Miss Kier!!!!!!! An absolute vibe, both of and ahead of its time.

TYLER SAMPLE SPOTTED

She deee on my lite til i zoo wah

WHAT A DELIGHT! :)

Easy 5. Right up my alley - Fun instrumentals, matched with fun vocal work. Good vibes and good times all round! 'Groove Is In The Heart' wins my fave.

Great album - definitely listening again!

What a surprise! Really dug this groovy, funky, silly 90s party album.

My favourite dance album of all time. So much more to explore past ‘Groove is in the Heart’ (which is still an absolute banger, bop, tune…). 10/10

I love this.

I have heard Groove is the Heart but had no idea who Deee-Lite really was. Great dance music. Love it!

The Beatles broke up in disgrace after hearing this album

Nice!

So many listens, back in the day. I still know it by heart. It’s lost a tiny bit of its charm but it’s still a fiver.

Had no idea this album was as much fun as it is otherwise I would have had it listened to years ago

I had never listened to this album before and I LOVED IT!

You can't help but love those vocals and house piano chords.

Tons of groove on this album. Not my normal listen but this was thoroughly enjoyable.

Brilliant album.

That was so good, cool beats all the way through!

A forgotten gem from my childhood. I had this album on CD and would use it to fall asleep at night. The songs can be a bit repetitive in nature but they are such bangers that it just doesn’t matter. “Groove is in the heart” is the best and most 90s song in creation. Absolutely adore this album. 10/10

Normal pants are not an option

House. Me ha gustado bastante. Venga, un 5.

When I was 11, VH1 counted down the top 100 one-hit wonders, and listed "Groove is in the Heart" at #14. They mentioned Bootsy Collins’ participation, who I recognized from the Beginner's Bass book I had gotten that Christmas. I also really liked the snippet they played a lot. So, even though I pretty much only listened to pop-punk at the time, during my next trip to Strawberries Records, I picked up the full CD. My mind was instantly blown. As silly as it sounds, World Clique was my gateway into dance music. (I enjoyed it so much, in fact, that it also inspired me to dig more into the full CDs of other one-hit wonders, which served as my own personal music history education throughout my teens.) While I’ve always loved this album, the older I got, the more it rose in my personal Top 100. By the time I was in college, it was solidly in my Top 10 favorite albums ever, and it’s remained there to this day. It’s bubbly and fun to dance to, but it’s also layered and has all these unique textures that you can unravel if you listen closely. It’s also deeply aware of its lineage, and I think that helps solidify it as a classic, because it’s reverent without feeling academic. This is really what I want most out of music – on the surface, pure fun, and if you want more, you can dig into it, but you can always just enjoy it on that surface level, too. It’s camp and inclusive and cute and catchy and feels communal. I love it so much, it’s flawless through and through.

Playful and very fun. So riffy and funky, makes me wish I was older in the late 80s/ early 90s so I could enjoy the queer dances that were most likely happening to this album. Surprise 5 stars for me

So good. The whole album is great groovy dance music. 5 stars.

Someone took a bath, Mr. Bubble Middle name, must be trouble Bootsy, Qtip, Maceo, great album, fun af! Saw Deee-Lite early 90's WOW, holy psilocybin

Easy 5 I love this album so much and I believe in the power of love. And also groove IS in the heart

Classic for period. Tracks include several major artists, such as Maceo Parker, Fred Wesley, Bootsy Collins, and Q-tip.

I really enjoyed it :) at least 50% of this enjoyment was possibly due to how fun I think the album cover is but that's because it's Very Fun. I feel like it's been too long since I gave out a 5 so I'm giving it to this album even though arguably it's possibly not worth it. So yes 5/5 for the silly little guy on the album cover

Fun Fun Fun album. I knew a few songs from back in the day, but...now that I was able to listen to the whole album, I can say, if I ever feel like putting on my dancing shoes, I have an album to throw on and dance to.

i like it out of all the albums ive listened so far this one fits my music taste more LOL reminds me of animal jam osts

Bangah

I thoroughly enjoyed this album. More than I thought I would. I knew Groove is in the Heart before but it’s a solid album all the way through

A pure delight. Funky house might have existed before Deee-Lite, but Deee-Lite picked it up and ran with it.

Relentlessly cheery, great stuff

This is incredibly fun and exciting

Wooow Jay il faut que t’écoute ça, c’est du goofy thunderdome electro pop

This is great! Groovy

I went in with the most skepticism possible, thinking it would just be mediocre electronic 90s music, a 3 at best, and...… It's fantastic. It has this funky, unique, unbridled sense of energy to it. Production is unbelievably clean without giving the sense of being overly-polished. Bass lines are groovy to the highest degree. Now for the negatives. First off, the cover. Not much to say besides it sucks, but I suppose it also somewhat encapsulates the energy of the record, so I can forgive it. Second, the pianos. I hate midi pianos with a burning passion. So lifeless and overly-bright and uncanny. If they had been more prominent in the record, it may have significantly detracted from the experience, but they are somewhat ignorable in the grand scheme of the album. Another thought: The original vinyl pressing did not contain the first or last tracks, and I think omitting them might have led to a better experience, especially the intro track, Dee-lite Theme. Overall, not flawless, but 4 stars just seems inadequate. It's full of character and life, and leaves you wondering what will be around the corner next.

My second favorite Deee-Lite album, close behind Dewdrops in the Garden. I give this one an absolute 5/5, mostly because it grew on me every time I listened to it, and I realized pretty much every song is a BANGER. "Power of Love" is definitely the best track on here, although I think it needs a glow-up in terms of production. The album overall is pretty quiet and compressed-sounding. But otherwise it's immensely enjoyable! I especially love the techno/electronic dance elements.

Bit sickly sweet but not as bad as LL Cool J. Fkn great example of my favourite bell sound in Smile On. WOAH alright came out of nowhere with the verging on 90s trance break, me likey. Ooft coming in real nice with Groove is in the Heart - one of the ultimate Rics tunes. Hard not to give it a five just because of that. Never fully appreciated Q Tip in it either, possibly a perfectly constructed song. Alright this went from what I thought was going to be all sickly sweet to deep, dark, dirty and weird ver quickly and I loved it. Build the Bridge is some real out there shit.

Every morning I check the genre of the album of the day to see if it’s a workout album or a “dishes and laundry” album. This is a fantastic workout album and a great way to start the day. Nothing but great beats, catchy hooks and positive energy. You could put it on at a party and listen to it front to back. Definitely putting this one in high rotation.

Do I want to hear a whole album by the "Groove Is in the Heart" people? I mean sure, that's a great song. And ... yep, a fun listen. Surprisingly good (and goofy) throughout.

Wow. An album I disliked to start and it grew on me . Upbeat and quirky. I loved it

A piece of my childhood

o bootsy collins era fã seloco difícil não dar 5 estrelas

Groove is in da hart

House. Me ha gustado bastante. Venga, un 5.

Listened with headphones and the stereo sound was really a delight.
