Silk is one of those handful of super groups that wields a double edged sword. If their diamond-smooth harmonies don't get you, their authentic brand of unbridled passion will. Combine that passion with a rare kind of chivalry from an almost bygone era, and you have one of the more enigmatic entities in R&B. Their songs - infectious as always - are backed up by five young men who approach what they do with a fierce work ethic, and strength of character that is all but abandoned in today's disposable pop environment.
Silk's blistering new album, Tonight, captures the heat and passion that is - and always has been - Silk. With the increased lead vocal presence of their youngest and maybe most unpredictable member, John John, the group has opened up another combustible front. Tonight celebrates the return of the group from a three year absence of sorts, armed with an arsenal of sexy songs sure to launch countless nights of heated passion for fans all over the world. "It's a much more in-your-face stance," says John John, but it's also Silk's legendary poise that has always reminded listeners of some of R&B's early classic groups.
While hip hop has been saturated recently with samples that hark back to the golden era, Silk has effortlessly maintained such stature, blending an unabashed libido with tremendous musical instincts to form a seductive undertow on cuts like "If You," and the swaggering "Playa Road." Such gems are known as 'Silk Territory,' made easier, of course, when you possess among the five most signature sounding voices in all of pop.
Gary Glenn (Big G), Gary Jenkins (Lil' G), Timothy Cameron (Timzo), Jimmy Gates Jr.(Jimmy) and Johnathen Rasboro (John John) were determined to turn it out like never before on Tonight. In other words, to let the music move the hearts, minds and ultimately bodies for old fans and new. "We knew we had to take ourselves to a whole other level," says Lil' G. Silk has always set a high standard for themselves, combining their acute street sensibility with the intensity and maturation level of pop/R&B veterans. It's that delicate blend of heart and experience that embodies their newest album.
