The real test for them was to build upon it. And they did. This album, The Concept , is a brilliant album, taking a very dramatic, almost pantomime like edge to it.
Guess who sneaks into the background in this album? Yep, it's Steve Arrington , who strangely only does vocals in Coming Soon. This album is important because the vocals within Slave become a lot more upfront. Steve Arrington becomes the lead vocalist at this point, and we now see the further introduction of Curt Jones and Starlena Young as further vocalists. The goalposts for Slave had definitely changed at this point.
Slave become slightly more of a serious band at this point, perhaps deviating from the kind of attitude that was put about by P-Funk, and many of the other funk groups starting at the same time. Also, the focus of this now is all about the vocals. I think for this album, the instruments are second nature.
This album adds the balance between vocal and instrument focus. This particular album, Stone Jam , happened to be the very first Slave album I obtained.
For me, and MANY others, the track that shines in this album, as well as being an all time classic, is "Watching You"; a beautiful blend between funky precision and soulful vocals! Other good tracks are "Sizzlin' Hot", and "Stone Jam". Charles Carter makes his first appearance in this album, too. It's the album, Showtime , and the goalposts begin to change once again. Carter Bradley disappears as well, although I think he went before, back in Replacing him, is Kevin Johnson and Roger Parker Overall, this album is probably Slave's biggest success story, commercial wise.
But also in the sense that not a single track on this album gets overlooked. The bassline in this album is super funky, bringing Mark Adams up front into the spotlight more, alongside the shared vocal powers of Steve Arrington, and Danny Webster, who is the lead vocalist in the song, "Steal Your Heart".
The Slave sound really started here, although many dismiss it as this album being the last of it. Now we have the album, Visions Of The Lite. Sadly, many didn't give this album a chance, and the relationship between them and Slave ended at this point, making this album a commercial flop.
Slave continued, despite this great loss, however, and rightly so; Danny Webster was a different yet competent takeover for the vocals. This album also saw the introduction of Marvin Wheatley and Ronny Cochran. I really love this album. I just have to say it. This is the album, Bad Enuff , and this is one of my favourite Slave albums. This album runs very smoothly, and has fantastic tracks on it, as well as getting a slight peak within the charts, as well.
I think this album is testimony to mass stupidity of the charts. This is the album, New Plateau, and was the first album of Slave's not to chart, as well as being the last album on Cotillion.
This album also sees the introduction of the later very prominent Slave member, Keith Nash. Charles Carter and Curt Jones also reappear in this album to help out. I really like this album. The basslines in this album are extremely funky, and the usage of synthesizers for this album are very cool. The fact that this album didn't chart says something about conventional opinion.
Forever Mine is probably my favourite track on this album, being one of Slave's "deeper" songs, hitting very different chords. That might be an aspect of the "New Plateau" that Slave achieved in this album.
I think, as they got total control of the handling of their releases, they also found the right elements to combine with the Slave sound. Well, this is it. This is my all time favourite album of Slave's. This is the release, Make Believe. Also, this is the Slave album that most people strangely seem to forget about. For some reason, people can't recall this album, and it was only February of last year that I had heard this album.
This album was the highest charting Ichiban release they did. This album works perfectly. The favourite track on this album for most people is "Juicy-O", which was released as a single.
Danny Webster appears not to be the lead vocalist from this album and from here on, and only does the lead vocals in the song "Holiday" on this album. I think the vocals non-rap are taken over by Keith Nash for the most part, and Floyd Miller doing the rap ones. Danny Webster does some ultra powerful guitar work, and Mark Adams doing the bass as always! Spectacular album. This is their release, Slave
