Based on the undulating groove of P-Funk, George Clinton's ambitious solo album flexibly incorporates programmed beats and synths to paint a new image of funk for a new era.
This album, released by Clinton in the late '80s, is a perfect example of modernizing funk without losing its spirit. The thick basslines are complemented by digitally programmed beats, creating a sense of both lightness and heaviness. "Tweakin'" features the aggressive vocals of Public Enemy, creating a crossover between generations of energy. The album prioritizes the driving force of the beat and the tenacity of the groove over flashy embellishments, and Clinton's signature humor is still alive and well. This is a masterful album that shows how P-Funk can sound in a new era.
