New jack is back

After becoming obsessed with the best new jack swing compilation I've ever set ears on, Gold: New Jack Swing, thanks largely to Michaelangelo Matos' awesomely contextualizing review of it, I thought it was high time to do this:

Jack 'n Jill, the Third (click to download, since I'm sure you've never used a computer before)

1. Troop - Spread My Wings (Clark Kent Super Mix with Rap)
2. Soul for Real - Candy Rain (Swing of Things Corona Mix)
3. Lalah Hathaway - Let Me Love You
4. D.R.S. - Do Me, Baby
5. Nuttin' Nyce -Down 4 Whateva
6. Soul II Soul - Keep on Movin' (Teddy Riley's Rubba Dub)
7. G-Wiz - Teddy Bear
8. Teddy Riley featuring Tammy Lucas - Is It Good To You
9. Karyn White - The Way I Feel About You (Feel It Mix)
10. Damian Dame - Exclusivity (Extended Remix)
11. Jane Child - Don't Wanna Fall in Love (Knife Feel Good Mix)
12. Mariah Carey - Someday (New 12" Jackswing)
13. Guy - I Like (Extended Version)
14. MC Trouble featuring the Good Girls - (I Wanna) Make You Mine
15. R. Kelly & Public Announcement - She's Got That Vibe (Original 12" Mix)
16. Bell Biv Devoe - She's Dope! (EPOD Mix)
17. TLC featuring OutKast - What About Your Friends (Extended Remix)
18. East Coast Family - 1-4-All-4-1
19. B. Brown Posse - Drop It on the One
20. LaFace Cartel - Reversal of a Dog
21. Wrecks-N-Effect - New Jack Swing (12" Remix)
22. SWV - Right Here (Original 12" Teddy Riley Mix)
23. Janet Jackson - If (Janet's Jeep Mix)
24. Babyface introducing Toni Braxton - Give You My Heart (Extended Remix)

I don't have much to say about it except that I love it (I've been drafting it all week and dancing like an extra in House Party on the subway -- I can't even control myself when "I Like" comes on). This one has slightly more obscure offerings than the previous two volumes (which, by the way, you can download here and here). I felt it necessary to go deep this time. Finally, I would like to report that much like G-Wiz, deep inside, I know you're horny. I just do. That's the power of swing. Enjoy!!!

"If" and "She's got the vibe" -- Best compilation EVER. Thank youuuuuuu

[HouseofJules]

Between Soul For Real, Jane Child BellBivDevoe and SWV, I'm woozy with excitement! Your mix is already blasting out of my speakers. I can't thank you enough, Rich!

Swoon! Every song makes me say "Ooh, that's my jam!" It's like seeing someone I haven't seen in years, makes me smile. Thanks Rich.

[Rah]

I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED, that 1-4 All-4-1 song, I bought the whole East Coast family for like 3 bucks just to have that song, I could mimic the whole video still to this day, I am so glad someone else realized what a GREAT song that was.

[Ms G]

Have I told you lately that I love you. Thanks for reminding me of how fast the time went... :-)

[Mary-Lynn]

This is making my otherwise kind of shitty Friday completely f'in awesome. Thank you Rich for realizing the awesomeness that is (was? it'll never die) new jack swing and promoting it so.

[Honey B Fly]

Thank you, Rich. You amaze me with your musical taste. You and I would have had a blast being A&R during that period. Ahh, the music industry...RIP.

P.S. I was bummed that Tammy Lucas was strictly background. I would have loved hearing a solo project from her. Thanks again.
Your stan,
Britt aka honeybfly

Rich, I can never download your music!!

[munchy]

Rich... thank you! I don't know anyone, besides my parents, that like New Jack like I do! Have you ever seen the weekend long salute to New Jack on VH1 soul? I have watched it 3 times and I force my husband to watch it with me. Every time it's on i think of you.

Thank you for all your mixes!!

(Btw, VH1 Soul has an SWV Soul Story {showing all of their videos in order through the entire span of their career} and it just made me think of that OLD entry you wrote about them decades ago. God, I feel like such an obsessed fan.)

FINALLY Someone gives love to Mariah Carey's someday!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Sally]

I love it!! Between the New Jack and Winston you are officially the most kick-ass blogger on the web.

[AnnoyingFemaleLeadVoiceover]

I can't wait to listen!

[Alyssa]

Rich, I live for these compilations. All I listen to in the car right now is your 'best r&b of 2007' one. Thank you so much for all the effort that you put into sharing these with us.

[PopMuse.com]

just reading the song list gave me a boner. thank you.

[Ernie]

Damn dude, you just made my work afternoon a million times better. Thanks. :)

[teebee]

I think i love this...a lot!!!!! Good look!

[miss_eddy]

Thanks!

Do you have the video mix for Tara Kemp's "Piece Of My Heart", and, if so, can you build an entire New Jill mix around that one song. Because I seriously can't stop watching the video on YouTube. And, again, it needs to be the video mix, not the album version.

Here are some other suggestions for the mix:
1) Tisha Campbell - Push
2) Jasmine Guy - Try Me
3) The Good Girls - Just Call Me
4) Good 2 Go - Never Satisfied
5) Pretty In Pink - All About You
6) Ex Girlfriend - Why Can't You Come Home
7) Ex Girlfriend - You're The One For Me
8) Nia Peeples - Trouble
9) The Party - In My Dreams

Now get to work.

I just have to say that these 3 mixes are up there with the best mixes of all time. Already gave you a shout out on my blog, but when I go to make my "top 10" albums of the year, album-definition be damned, these mixes are gonna be in my list!

(keeping my fingers crossed for future installments!)

[StevieStreet]

Love the mix!
