Description
During the summer of 1982 French producer Jacques Fred Petrus and his Italian companion Mauro Malavasi released a string of hot R&B albums by Change, Ritchie Family, High Fashion, B.B.&Q. Band and Zinc. Zinc’s Street Level was the final record to leave the Little Macho Music factory that year and would be the last to be entirely produced in New York City. Street Level was dropped in September 1982 by Jive Records, a label known for its alternative releases. Zinc was Urban R&B with touches of Pop, kept fairly basic, without too many frills. The emphasis was on the vocals and the percolating beat that made you want to bounce to the dancefloor. Though there were over 20 musicians and vocalists involved -including Fonzi Thornton and Bobby Douglas - the spare arrangements gave everybody space. Highlights on the album are the inspired Kashif song and single "Street Level", the chilly "Punkulation" and the Chic-influenced "This Is Where the Love Is". Other fine selections include the naughty up-tempo "I’ll Never Stop", the energetic "I’ll Take My Chances" - flavoured with licks of rock guitar and polyrhythmic percussion - and "Amazon" with its intriguing instrumental airs and chants. -
