Sounds
Fugees CD shows diversity
Continued from 1B
ere it not for 2 Pac’s
immense appeal, I’d pick the
Fugee’s
new CD
to debut
at No. 1
I t
should.
What
Shakur
lacks in
creativi
ty, the
Fugees
deliver
and
then
some.
The group has an odd mix of
rap, old-school r&b and hip-
hop that’s very appealing. Its
style is hard to pin-point, giv
ing it an air of exclusivity.
What makes this group work
is its combination of Lauryn
Hill’s excellent signing voice
with free-flowing rap. “FU-
GEE-LA” is already a huge
radio hit and may only get
larger. “Zealots” uses an
obscure song,” I Only Have
Eyes For You,” to make a chill
ing statement.
The CD’s best moment is
when Hill is turned loose on
Roberta Flack’s “Killing Me
Softly.” She does the song
supreme justice, starting slow
ly, then weaving the rest of the
Fugees around her glorious
voice. It’s stunning work - not
something you’d expect to hear
on a rap CD. I’m glad it”s here.

Something For The People
is an
estab
lished
remix
and pro
duction
team
that’s
worked
with En
Vogue,
Brandy
and
A d i n a
s
Howard.
The trio of Fuzzy, Sauce and
Cat Daddy have decided to
spin some hits of their own.
Wise decision. This could be
the party album of the year.
Speaking of partying,
remember last year’s “You
Want This Party Started?”
This is the group. The rest of
the CD is a mix of dance, hip-
hop and ballads done with
traces of some old-school mas
ters. A1 Green, Curtis Mayfield
and even some Prince is evi
dent on this set. Nice job, guys.
