I Love the 90's Song of the Day - Killing Me Softly with His Song - The Fugees

Towards the middle of the decade, a hip hop trio with Haitian roots was formed and they called themselves the Fugees.  Lauryn Hill, Wyclef Jean and Pras Michael recorded only two albums in their time together and one of them, 1996's "The Score" brought them great success.  This was the second single from that album, and it's one of my all time favorites.

Of course, the song is a cover of Roberta Flack's 1973 smash, only with a little hip hop flavor thrown in for good measure and it worked.  The Fugee's "Killing Me Softly" hit number two on the charts and remains as a legacy of their short time together.  Enjoy and Happy Thursday!

I Love the 90's Song of the Day - Just a Girl - No Doubt

ikbis

Here's a debut single from a band that would make big waves in the 90's and beyond. Blond bombshell Gwen Stefani and her group No Doubt made big hits with their reggae-infused brand of pop music that could be kinda classified as a popular brand of 90's music called ska. Great song, and in case you haven't heard, No Doubt are making a long-awaited return very soon and they've already got a brand new song, Settle Down.  Stay tuned for more...and in the meantime, enjoy "Just a Girl."

P!nk's new album cover revealed!?!?

P!nk is heading full-on towards the upcoming release of her new album, "The Truth About Love," and the other day she tweeted some very retro/vintage-type artwork from the new record due out September 18th.  What do you think?

We're not absolutely sure that this will be the final version of the cover, but I think it would make a cool cover.  Love it!

I Love the 90's Song of the Day - Creep - TLC

Yes, it's me again...

'Creep' was the first single off of TLC's breakout sophomore album, "Crazysexycool," released in October of 1994.  The song, and the album, was much more mature than they're debut "Ooh, on the TLC Tip," and it brought the girls great success.  This was their first #1 single and the first of four top five hits off the album.  This one's way more R&B than hip hop, and I always loved T-Boz' sexy voice on this track...
