New Guy Group with Old School Talent

But not your ordinary guy groups. I’m talking the type of guy groups who used to stand on the corner and sing beautiful harmonies simply for fun. From The O’Jays and The Temptations to Jodeci and Boyz II Men, male groups who sang together is something I really miss—until now.

As I mentioned in a previous post, the singing group Brutha has hit the scene with enough talent to make anyone’s head turn. Through their television show “Brothers to BRUTHA,” the group showcased their talent. They are all real brothers and have been singing together since a very young age. As a singer and a lover of raw talent, I was overly impressed by their a capella performances and abilities. We haven’t seen anything like it in a very long time... Brutha can instantaneously break into song (start watching at 2:57) in perfect harmony without much notice. THAT’S GOLDEN.

So of course I bought the album when it came out, expecting something like what I heard on the show… Unfortunately I was somewhat slighted. They got lured into our crazy industry expectations and had zero a capella on there, No substance to their lyrics, and a lot of the content was on the over-sexed side.

I think this group is so much better than that, and there is no need for them to try so hard to be a “boy band” type group that B2K fans are going to flock to. To be such a rare gift in this generations time of musical selection, I feel let down, to say the least, because of the direction this group decided to go. But then again, maybe their type simply isn’t valued. I mean.. Boyz II Men was just singing background for Justin Timberlake at the Grammys, after all. Hmm… how exactly does that work?
