1988 Karyn White!

Okay, you wanna know how old school I've been lately? well, take a listen at this -- Karyn White's debut album (1988)!

Yeah, I see that puzzled expression on your face alright (I can't actually...) but the title track "Superwoman" has been made popular by the recent Mandarin rendtion by Gary Cao. Don't wanna spend too much time on Gary cuz that' not the point here (and everyone probably noticed this guy's crazy vocals already).

anyways, I was surfing the other day and found out there are actually 3 versions of "Superwoman" at least: Karyn White's original version, Gary's Mandarin version and Faye Wong's cantonese verison (can you believe it? OMG! I was actually pretty surprised).

Interestingly enough, "Superwoman" is one of the few soul ballads on the album. The rest features a r&b/pop style that's characteristic of the late 80s early 90s period (a music style made popular by Paula Abdul apparently...). A really upbeat album. The album should take you back in time where a different kinda music style ruled.

let's see, what was I doing in 1988... ah! can't remember! I was 4 damn it! LOL:P

another reason you should listen to this album: this album is produced by the top r&b dynamic duo producers, L.A Reid and Babyface! In fact, track 06 "Love Saw It" features Babyface in a duet with Karyn White so check that out~ it's a no.1 r&b classic back then. Track 04 "Superwoman" is a must listen~ other than the 2 songs, the rest of the album is pretty much funky 80s r&b tunes.

Karyn White (Out of Print!) HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
