A talkbox vision of the future of funk, Zapp at his finest.
The fourth album by Roger Troutman's Zapp label. Featuring tracks like "Computer Love," this highly polished album fuses talkbox and electro-funk, making it a symbol of '80s funk.
The smooth tones of synthesizers and talkboxes permeate the album, showcasing the refinement of the Zapp sound. Roger and Shirley Murdock's duet on "Computer Love" creates a dreamy sound, showcasing the epitome of mellow funk. The fusion of funk groove and electro directly led to later R&B and G-funk, making this a historic album with a transcending genre influence.
