Some tracks for Jessica Simpsons new cd, which based on the first single is a very Madonna "Holiday" type vibe. So far out of the Ladies due out with new records the next few months, it seems that Jessica is the only one that sounds somewhat fresh, where as the others sound too produced or just the same old thing or they are lame "collabos".

I heard Jessica's new single and it sounds just like Madonna's "Holiday".Jam and Lewis do waaaayyyy too much sampling/borrowing these days.

Wow. Cuz their work on her version of These Boots Are Made for Walking had everyone clammoring for more. They disappoint me so much lately.

Jessica's new single *wasn't* produced by Jam & Lewis.

I stopped listening to their productions in the early 1990s because they became just like everyone else.

There will be lawsuits flying, I think once the credits for the track come out, I'm sure that they would have sampled Holiday.
Still it's a good song and at least different from what everyone else is doing right now. A hot video would make this song HUGE. luckily Bret Ratner will be directing the video so it should be eye candy and oh so glossy.

Yeah, they kinda lost me after Sounds Of Blackness 2nd album.

Yes, you have a place in my heart...

Anyone notice since Renee left Janet,Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis has sorta just repeated themselves.

funny

But think about it.

They did nice work on patti labelle's flame album of 1997. They also did some
nice work with chante moore,isley brothers, and EWF all in the 2000's. Don't count these guys out yet. They seem to do their best work when collabing with
Big jim wright and lance and prof t.

I'm aware of the Patti joint as well as the Isley stuff. I thought it was just OK. I felt like any producer could have evoked such, but that doesn't mean it was bad.

I think he played a huge part in Janets sound & image as a songwriter and video director, since he left she lost her edge.

I think this may be true. BTW, twink check your org notes.

Good for them because that song is terrible

twink69 said:

Yea, I'm starting to think so too.

DavidEye said:

It does kind of remind me of old school standard disco. The only part of the song I heard was her repeating the same thing over and over again....Very boring.

ElectricBlue said:

Even with Reene, Jam/Lewis were already sampling. janet & The Velvet Rope are 2 examples of that. At least with these 2 albums, they were groundbreaking, IMO.

Everything went downhill beginning with the release of All For You.

Excluding the controversial SuperBowl halftime show, Damita Jo a mistake!

They're been sampling for a while. The bassline of Rhythm Nation was taken from Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin).

Don't worry Rip. I didn't forget about the RN title track. With THIS song, Jimmy Jam was very creative wth that Sly Stone sample. I hear that Prince like to fell on the floor and died when he first heard RN on the radio!
