the moving ballads, "Come III

Love" and "Once Upon A Time, "
Wendy sings with a pure convic­
tion and elan that can only come
naturally. "When I was finished
with the vocals and listened to the
playback, I was surprised with the
way the songs came out," Wendy
says, "especially" 'Come III Out
Of The Rain' and 'Wonderin.'
They were different than any­
thing else I ever sang. "The latter
track, incidentally, features label­
mate Najee.
"Deep down, I'm more corn-'
fortable singing ballads than up­
tempo songs. However, it's
always great to experiment and
try new things. This is my first
time and it all came from my
heart. I wanted it to be sincere, "
she declares.

and gospel artists. His first job included singing with

OJ QUIK con inued from B1
to something few hip hop artists
can touch. His desire to break free
from the rigid technological
limitations of current hip hop has
resulted in a music that stays true
to the hip hop deconstructionist
ethos and groove factor but al­
lows for musical expansion as op-
• posed to aural pa.tchwork.
And just as Parliament
Funkadelic's 1977 Funken­
telechy vs. the Placebo Syndrome
blasted the funkless Black music
of the 19708, Quik's Way 2Fonky
pioneer hip hop and current R&B
away from the overabundance of
... 1
fake funk hip hop and new jack
swing.
"New jack swing is soul-less,"
Quik announces. "It was kind of
cool when it first appeared, but it
lost it once it started to rely too
much on synthesizers .. And the
problem with hip hop is that a lot
of groups are just plain bland. To
me they're like chicken without
the seasoning. Too many groups
think that a looped, tired break­
beat and a jazzy sample is funk.
But it's not. To me it's not even
exciting. It just doesn't move
me."
