Luther Van­dross — I Really Didn’t Mean It
(320 kbps)

Top notch boogie/soul track by one of the most suc­cess­ful amer­i­can male R&B singer/songwriters of the eight­ies, pro­duced by Mar­cus Miller. Nope, haven’t said bye-bye to my girl­friend and the pic­ture above doesn’t quite fit the songs atmos­phere. Enjoy(ing) the song nevertheless.

This boo­gie cut makes me dance like Fred­die sug­gests. The mes­sage all in all is so true here. Fred­die, how did you know how to write the lyrics just for me? And I need one of those kinda jumpsuits.

Raww — Don’t You Try It (320k)

Some say on the inter­net it’d be a Roland 626 drum machine in use on the song. Raww never released any other tunes besides Don’t You Try It (+ the dub ver­sion of it). I got the 7″ ver­sion here which came out on Injec­tion Disco Dance Label.
