| | New jack swing -- Encyclopædia Britannica |
| | New jack swing (also known as swingbeat) was the most pop-oriented rhythm-and-blues music since 1960s Motown. | | | Swing music has a compelling momentum that results from musicians' attacks and accenting in relation to fixed beats. | | | Eschewing the fashion for sampling (using sounds and music from other recordings), the makers of new jack swing discovered their... |

| | When Jackson returned in with a new album in late 1991, he'd come up with a different moniker: "the King of Pop." Dangerous found Jackson ending his collaboration with Quincy Jones in an effort to update his sound; accordingly, many of the tracks were helmed by the groundbreaking new jack swing producer Teddy Riley. | | | The album debuted at number one, but the format backfired on Jackson: his fans already owned the hits, and the new album simply wasn't strong enough to offset the added cost of the extra disc for many more casual listeners. | | | The results were quite unlike anything in New Edition's repertoire: The beats were funkier, the lyrics and vocals were sexier, and the overall sound had a harder, hip-hop-tinged edge. |

| | New Edition's early, Jackson 5-inspired material made them the forerunners of two generations of teen pop (most of which was geared to white audiences). | | | New Edition, meanwhile, released their eponymous MCA debut in 1984 and scored their biggest pop hit with the Top Five smash "Cool It Now," which ended with a short rap section. | | | Starr attempted to sue the group for their name, unsuccessfully claiming that "New Edition" actually referred to a whole new style of pop music he'd created. |

| | Recorded in '91 (when new jack swing was on the downslope), brief moments of revival sprung up with the release of this album. | | | The following track had originally been a "pop" track on their album but for the soundtrack, it was remixed into a "new jack" song and what a difference production made. | | | While Guy's "New Jack City," and Troop's cover of the O'Jays' "For The Love Of Money," titled "For the Love of Money/Living for the City," are the albums better New Jack Swing moments; Aaron Hall's vocals are in prime form, sounding dope. |

| | The Revisionsim of '91 - Pop Playground - Stylus Magazine |
| | I doubt that shouldering out New Jack Swing in the narrative of pop music was a conscious choice. | | | But such a critique seems doubly irrelevant in the face of the current pop music climate, in which black-produced black artists (often backed by celebrity producers) are finding widespread success with white and black audiences. | | | We are continually told that in 1992 Good Music won out over Bad Music, but the entire debate has been whitewashed, focusing on a rock audience with little actual power on the charts. |

| | Ultimately it took the sound christened the "new jack swing" to bring record labels and urban radio on board with the changing dynamics of R&B. Teddy Riley is generally recognized as the genius behind new jack swing, a sound that married the old-school harmonies of the black church with a hard rhythmic edge. | | | The success of Jody Whatley's collaboration with Rakim, "Friends" (1989), made some R&B artists and labels more willing to rent-a-rapper for some street credibility, but at the same time, it was still common practice for labels to deliver to radio versions of R&B singles in "rap" and "no rap" mixes to maximize radio airplay. | | | This moment in R&B would be short lived, as the massive consolidation within the music and radio industries would create the context where virtually all forms of urban music would began the pop-chart paper-chase in pursuit of the new queen: hip-hop. |
