The B Side, “Hoola Hoop” is a BRSB original tune, the stuff that B Boys dream about…Setting it off with a killer breakbeat intro that drops into pan hits and flute flourishes, never losing the groove and full of energy. An absolute essential for DJs across the globe. This will have the dance floor turning to the booth in amazement and wonder as soon as the pans come in. Steel pans play her infectious vocal melody lines over the raucous and crushing drum track. Done up in what is now their signature fashion, they take on the break originally lifted from The Meters, and believe it or not….step it up a notch. Side A is their already infamous cover of Amerie’s smash hit “1 Thing”. You just gotta ride the wave at the right time and have a certain something about you.Following up on the massive success of their sophomore full length “The Serpent’s Mouth”, Bacao Rhythm & Steel Band is back with another dance floor classic. Rihanna just had a certain aura, charisma and she had cross-over pop music instead of just R&B. Ironically enough, Jay-Z was actually even on the ‘One Thing’ Remix.then Beyonce swooped in with a similar beat style with ‘Crazy In Love’.įor Rihanna, that per rival at the moment was Teiara Marie.who actually initially seemed like she would’ve been the star as she was titled ‘the Princess of The Roc’.
Plus she was getting writing credits for her and a few other artists.īoth Beyoncé and Rihanna came up with rivals, who, at the time they started could’ve easily surpassed them if they had the right team and ‘it’ factor.Īmerie actually mainstreamed that go-go-esque, drummy vibey beat with ‘One Thing’. Truly, this is a single which can be skipped. Amerie's voice also is lackluster in my view, and she essentially repeats the same (albeit catchy) line successively.

Truly, '1 Thing' is unremarkable, Amerie uses too much instrumentation, and her vocal track is infringed by this a few times.

I’m gonna go ahead and give Ashanti honorable mention outside of anyone else on that list only because she had a nice run. Timing, Team, and a certain je ne sais quoi She really had a lot of staying power regardless and is still considered this generations Janet Jackson. The song is influenced by go-go rhythms and features a prominent sample of The Meters 1970 funk recording of 'Oh, Calcutta', written by Stanley Walden.

Then as she got older we all started paying attention to her natural sex appeal, fashions and beauty as well and it was a wrapĮTA: Ciara was always going to be more of a dancer than a singer so there is no comparison. ' 1 Thing ' is a song by American singer Amerie from her second studio album, Touch (2005). The gag is that I could say the same thing about Rihanna vocally but because she has a bigger and more magnetic personality and one could argue, works harder, it translated into more success and staying power. But I think the bigger voices and more bold performers (such as Beyoncé) that came out after her overshadowed her.she has this really sweet/subtle/shy vibe even on stage and that doesn’t translate to selling out world tours. When Murder Inc went down it hindered her continued rise in star power, imo. Ashanti was huge at one point and she did have some crossover success.
