Far sassier than your standard early 90s slow jam, blessed with a laconic Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes rap: let rumour-mongers and spreaders of “crap street yap” beware! Somethin’ You Wanna Know is the sound of a band already far more sophisticated than their cartoonish early image suggested.
A track that’s aged noticeably better than Poetic Justice, the Tupac/Janet Jackson movie it soundtracked, Get It Up brilliantly slows down the synth riff from the Time’s 1981 Prince-produced version, turning it into a sleazy electronic buzz. TLC, meanwhile, sound as if they’re having a hoot with its party-starting lyrics.
Also from a movie soundtrack – this time Waiting to Exhale – This Is How It Works is TLC at their most lubricious: a demand for men to “take time out your fantasies” and consider instead what the lady might enjoy that ends with Left Eye giving detailed instructions on the matter. Distinct hint of G-funk about Babyface’s production.
A perfect example of late 90s R&B pushing at sonic boundaries, with producer Dallas Austin possibly operating under the influence of Timbaland. The beat stammers, the backing track is made out of buzzes, metallic clanks and whoops, and the hook hammers itself into your brain while the lyrics preach total female independence.
Patched together from unreleased Left Eye solo tracks after her death, 2002’s 3D was – by TLC’s standards – a relative flop. That doesn’t mean there’s not great stuff there: the frantic Dirty Dirty’s Timbaland-produced, Missy Elliot-featuring, Kool and the Gang-quoting mayhem being an utterly thrilling case in point.
Switch demonstrates what a leap forward CrazySexyCool was from TLC’s debut. From its buoyant-but-subtle use of a guitar sample from Jean Knight’s Mr Big Stuff to the understated vocals, to the chunk of Rapper’s Delight Left Eye coolly swipes during her verse, it just sounds supremely confident: a band who know they’re hitting their stride.
Videos saturated in neon and primary colours; the gimmick of attaching condoms to your sunglasses: you can see why people thought TLC initially dealt in “kiddie-cute hip-hop”. But that undersells how good their debut album frequently was: the single remix of Hat 2 Da Back is raw and writhingly funky.
Produced by Organized Noize – and featuring a fantastic guest appearance from OutKast’s André 3000 – CrazySexyCool’s darkest moment broods both on the state of the world and personal issues: having pleaded guilty to arson, Left Eye was in rehab for most of the album sessions. Grinding distorted guitar deep in the mix underscores the mood.
Girl Talk features the most arresting opening line in TLC’s catalogue – “You see, I had this brother who was mad at me / Cos I told my homegirl that he wasn’t packin’” – as well as the equally great diss “thinkin’ you got powers like Austin but you’re more like Mini-Me”. If the sound is indebted to Destiny’s Child, the insistent catchy chorus makes...
What About Your Friends is the early TLC at their most poppy: it’s just a great song, powered by an immense breakbeat (made by combining samples from James Brown and Sly & the Family Stone’s Sing a Simple Song). Its remix, meanwhile, introduced the world to TLC’s fellow Atlanta natives OutKast.
