Indie sextet Raw Geronimo have recently released their latest 7", which features the upbeat surf-pop track "Role Play." Singer Laena Geronimo's vocals may be cheery, but she insists that the track has a darker nature despite its poppy sound. "'Role Play' is a super cynical, but also fun, song about people pretending to be other people on the Internet," she says. "Musically and lyrically it goes through a lot of different moods and perspectives, from whimsical to psychotic to happy-go-lucky pop and back again. It's a fun song."

“Too Close”

Next | 1998

Next was formed in Minneapolis when the uncle of Terry "T-Low" and Raphael "Tweety" Brown, who was a gospel choir director, introduced the brothers to Robert Lavelle "R.L." Huggar. Sounds of Blackness singer Ann Nesby groomed the R&B group before handing them over to Naughty by Nature's KayGee, who wrote and produced "Too Close." The idea for the song was sparked "from a conversation we had with several girls at a nightclub," explained T-Low. "It's talking about the club scene, with guys getting out of hand and the female telling him to back up, asking, 'What are you doing?'"
