We Need(ed) a Resolution

September 14, 2021 1:58 PM

Due to the grace of the 'Lord,' the important label Blackground Records is releasing its catalog to Digital Streaming Platforms thru Oct 1 of this year. That means Aaliyah, Timbaland & Magoo, Toni Braxton, JoJo and Ashley Parker Angel (and R&B artist Tank) get to be heard by - roughly - a new gen. On top of that, Blackground is releasing a lot of videos on YouTube, including gems that you already know: We Need a Resolution, Rock the Boat and Try Again (all by Aaliyah).

Other gems:
Are You That Somebody, No Sunshine, DMX, and Up Jumps da Boogie, TImbaland & Magoo featuring Missy and Aaliyah.

Wonder if they’re doing Bandcamp or just streaming and lossy download services like the majors.

Well that’s been a long time.
They shouldn’t have left us without a dope beat to step to.

The streaming on Apple is lossless. And qobuz has 16/44 lossless downloads.
