On Jodeci's first two albums, the love songs reigned and there was only a glimpse of their "new jack swing." THE SHOW THE AFTER-PARTY THE HOTEL brings out the funkier side of Jodeci, and properly balances the two.
Jodeci's music is equally rooted in gospel, R&B and hip-hop forms, and, when JoJo, Mr. Dalvin, DeVante and K-Ci sing, each can be heard distinctly. Like most of the album's songs, "Can We Flo" blends an R&B groove and powerful vocals, but succeeds primarily beacuse of the singers' gorgeous harmonies. As background singers for Father MC, Jodeci became skilled in singing over hip-hop beats and they played a major role in the formation of R&B hip-hop. "Fun 2 Nite" epitomizes the genre, and even adapts a brief part of the chorus from Kool & The Gang's "Celebrate." And, as always, Jodeci ably express the sensual portions of their sound ("Freek 'N You").
THE SHOW THE AFTER-PARTY THE HOTEL is a wholly self-generated/produced project: DeVante Swing is responsible for a lion's share of the album's production, songwriting and concept. So, blame him for the fact that after rocking the performance at THE SHOW, Jodeci knowingly slow it down at THE AFTER-PARTY, then freak it at THE HOTEL.

Professional Reviews

Entertainment Weekly (6/30-7/7/95, p.100) - "It's hard not to bob your head to these slow, slurping grooves and streetwise R&B beats, and the sensual, four-part harmonies are imbued with churchy fervor..." - Rating: B
