All right, folks, it’s time for a history lesson. The tail end of WWI ushered in the Roaring Twenties, one of the few American golden ages of the past century. It was an era of economic prosperity, consumerism, and cultural innovation, resulting in new technologies like the automobile and the radio, and new fads like the Charleston and jazz music. While contemporary R&B group 1920 is tight-lipped about the origin of their name, they sure do capture the carefree sound of that era. Sure, they incorporate plenty of modern elements into their music, like a subtle T-Pain-esque autotune effect. And sure, their forthcoming album, Sex Sells, likely would have been blacklisted, but you get the point. Check out Backseat (produced by Fittedtrax) and let it take you back to a bygone era.
Boring track. Made me think of that backseat love song from T-Pain which also
was a big miss. This group is nothing special, another R&B up and comers if
you ask me.
THE THING IS WHEN THESE R&B GROUPS COME OUT THEY NEED TO BRING IT LIKE CRAZY OR THEY ARE GOING TO SOUND LIKE ANY AVERAGE R&B GROUP,AFTER ALL THAT THIS IS AVERAGE EFFORT
These cats look like cats who are already in the industry. On the right, dude look like Ne-Yo. THe middle dude look like a younger jadakiss, and the left dude look just like the chubby kid from Day 26. Is it just me? This song is ok. Alil out dated. Doesn't stand out to ya boy. Forgettable.
I agree with da boss, new rnb groups need to come out blazing with a monster hot track. And this is not even close. The beat is a little too plain and noticeably repetitive. And it's rather obvious that one of the singers is really try to kick out some usher style (doesn't work for me I'm afraid). I'll give it another listen to see if my mind changes on them.
This is a solid R&B song. Nothing that will make you press repeat, just like it isn't something you would need to turn off early. It's good filler music. And that's a start for a young group in the making. Let's move this material out of the all-too-familiar backseat and see what they can really do...
I like how they sing but the song is a little too slow for me. As almost everyone wrote, it's boring! I have heard worse, so to me it's ok. Nothing which will remain
good job yall n i saw the video...it was great...we(the dancers)was the best part tho!!make sure yall dont forget about us!!!this megan by the way!! well i luv yall n keep up the good work:)
