Klymaxx has a new album comming out late summer early fall of this year. It's getting rave reviews already and they havn't even put a release date on it. So now there are two versions of klymaxx, Klymaxx(bernadette cooper, fenderella, penny ford, Robbin Gridder, Portia ????, Cookie, and maurean, and then you have klymaxx featuring Cheryl Cooley. I've seen the version with bernadette cooper. They were very good, don't know about the one with cheryl cooley.

yeah, i heard and let me tell you i can not wait! i love this band so much especially bernadette cooper who is ultra talented. i hope they seriously bring it. can't wait to hear them and i'd love to see them in concert too. where did you see them??

Can't wait for this one. Those girls can play as well as sing.

rebelsoldier said:

i still hope they have a funky new wave sound!!

Remember when they were on VH1 Bands Reunited???? The whole issue the girls had was with Cheryl Cooley using the name, and they got together WITHOUT HER!!!! Very interesting!!!!!

It's only worth buying if Bernadette Cooper is involved in the project. She is ultra-talented. I love her solo CD DRAMA ACCORDING TO BERNADETTE COOPER. It is heavily Prince-influenced and I love it.

"The Agency Sent Me"

sheilafan said:

so,which Klymaxx is releasing the new album?

I always thought that they broke up too soon.They had two big albums in the mid-80s and next thing you know,Fenderalla and Bernadette are making solo albums
I really think they could have lasted awhile longer.

I never get excited when I hear an old group is releasing a new album because nine times out of ten, the new album is usually full of nothing but slow to midtempo music with a shit hop sound to try to compete with today's so-called artists. I rather see old artists stayed retired than ruin their good names with sellout albums.

I know what you mean.Evelyn King is releasing a new CD soon,and she says it will sound like today's music.The first single is called "Skillz" Hopefully,Klymaxx will resist the urge to do a shit hop album

Those sistas are bad to the bone. I saw them on the Bands Reunited special recently and I must say that Bernadette & The Girls were still turning it out.

I am thinking the same thing. she was a character who knew how to work it on the fun side. I think this cd will be good though

You got the courts

To get you out of
The situation


My song on there was Movie Produce Her
Sha wants to be in a movie
But all he wants to do is produce her

I Saw them on the Ebony Magazine Family reunion tour in Cincinatti, Ohio. They Tore it up. I didn't even know bernadette could sing that good. They did Some old songs and a couple of new songs.(sounded great) Penny Ford is apart of the band now, she was very good on the new stuff and on the old stuff. I love their new single "Get Up Off Me" they tore that song up too.

Love On a Blue Train

SoulAlive said:

me too. i hope they try to be true to themselves instead of worrying about sounding "current" and hip. i wanna hear me some new wave funk!

sheilafan said:

damn, i can't wait to hear the new stuff. are there any samples anywhere??

Wowugotit said:

Yeah i bought her solo album. On a scale of 1 to 10, i would rate it 6.
There were a few interesting tracks. The agency sent me was comical to listen to. My favorites were i look good and strait jacket love affair.
I was supposed to see klymaxx tomorrow night along with the ohio players,barkays,brick, and zapp. They postponed it for a later date and i rushed back in town for it. Very disappointed.

vainandy said:

OFF-TOPIC: It could be the reason why The Beatles & ABBA have a lot of value today. There was never a reunion album or tour!

ABBA Sucks! Dancing Queen


Back on topic. I will see klymaxx when they come through charlotte on the
family reunion tour Aug.18. They have a nice my space page.

phunkdaddy said:

Abba sucks big time. They are so wack!
Anyway, you are very lucky to be seeing Klymaxx! Gotta let us know how it was after you've seen them!

The whole CD is excellent. "The Agency Sent Me" is about child abuse....If you find that comical you need professional help.

phunkdaddy said:

If Bernadette Cooper has anything to do with this project you can bet Klymaxx is gonna be FUNKY and come from left field on ya'll.....They all were Musicians 1st.....I think they have what it takes to bring it.....Bernadette Cooper's Cd was the shyt and she brought SexyBack and all the funkyness she can muster.....So lets support our girls cause they made US "Men All Pause" cause they had a "Meeting In The Ladies Room".

phunkdaddy said:

You're tripping! ABBA kick ass with some tracks that are (IMO) way better than Dancing Queen:

ABBA -- Voulez Vous
http://www.youtube.com/wa...iMUcM-rWtY

THIS song is a jam. It's ABBA finest hour within the disco era.

Wowugotit said:

I probably got the track mixed up with the very last song on that album where
she mentions you can't stop the rain from falling. Can't think of the title. My albums are in storage in my mom's attic until i get a bigger place. The music for the agency sent me is so awkward and the way bernadette sings it is what makes it funny. That album was not on my must listen to priority list so it was easy for me to overlook the lyrics for the song. For the record, i do not find the subject of child abuse comical, but it is nothing wrong with me finding the song comical.
