New Jill Swing 1988-94
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 Jacksonâs âControlâ, 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 â hip-hop in the 80s was barely integrated into R&B.
Solo acts like Karyn White (âThe Way You Love Meâ) and Jasmine Guy (âTry Meâ) followed in Janet Jacksonâs future- perfect footsteps, inspiring a bunch of female groups who followed in the early 90s. The initial ground-breakers were a Motown act called the Good Girls who were set up to be a swingbeat Supremes, with the wonderful âYour Sweetnessâ in 1989. 1990 saw the emergence of R&B superstars En Vogue whose confidence and style proved that swingbeat wasnât just a genre for boy bands. Xscape (âLove On My
Mindâ) followed in 1991 while SWV (âIâm So Into Youâ) and Jade (âDonât Walk Awayâ) both had their first UK hits in the spring of 1993. These hits were also pop classicist in their melodies and lyrics, harking back to 60s girl groups as much as they looked forward to the 21st century.
âNew Jill Swingâ has been compiled by Saint Etienne's Bob Stanley and is historically significant as the first ever compilation of the genre. New jill swing may have borrowed from hip-hop but it was more smartly stylized and consciously retro-modern in its look, whether that was in En Vogueâs Old Hollywood references, the Good Girlsâ
plaid skirts or Jadeâs baseball caps and braids. It would also unwittingly lay down the groundwork for the ultra- modern sounds to come later in the decade from the likes of TLC and Missy Elliot.
