New Jill Swing 1988-1994 / Various

New jill swing was a cheeky response to the very male, late 80s world of new jack swing, and it was the dawn of a golden age for female R&B in the 90s. The original source of new jack swing - or swingbeat - could be found in key records such as Janet Jackson's "Control", produced by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, which mixed hard beats with soul, real R&B with 808s and a tough shuffle. Producer Teddy Riley took these sounds a step further at the end of the 80s, blending them with hip-hop because - strange as it now seems - hip-hop in the 80s was barely integrated into R&B.
