Biographie
Ready-made Silk was already together when Keith Sweat and Andrea Ryans discovered them. They were fortunate enough to strike a deal with Elektra records to go straight into the studio to record their debut album “Lose Control”. It was recorded over the course of 1991 and 1992,and then later released on November 17th 1992. It went to number 1 on the R&B Charts, and number 7 on the Billboard 200. On the album was the band’s hit single “Freak Me”, which was in fact the sophomore single from the album that shot up the charts making it to number one in the Billboard Hot 100. It also charted in Australia, Canada, Netherlands, New Zealand and the UK, earning its platinum certification in 1993.
Their sophomore eponymous record, “Silk” which was released on November 28th 1995, didn’t quite match the status of the previous record, but still managed to get to number 10 in the R&B charts, later achieving a Gold certification. Their third album “Tonight” released on March 23rd 1999, did even better than the last record making it to number 8 in the R&B charts and number 21 in the Billboard 200. This record like the first managed a Platinum certification in the US.
In 2003, the group took a brief hiatus pursuing various other ventures, and Elektra had left them in the lurch forcing them to find a new label. They started their own and returned to the studio to release the album “Silktime” on September 23rd 2003. It made it to number 30 in the R&B chart. Their next record made it to number 23 in the R&B Chart, after being released on October 17th 2006.
Avis
The American R&B group, Silk, have been producing incredible rap and hip hop music since the early 90s, and I’ve been following their career progression ever since. They opened the show with their hit single Freak Me, which had everyone singing along right away. They were encouraging everyone to move further forward (the venue wan’t full and there was quite a gap before the front of the stage), and dance right by them.
It was awesome to be right next to such a talented group of musicians, and when they performed their more well known songs, they were getting everyone in the audience to join in with their singing. They played their cover of Adore by Prince, which is when I think I had the most fun. Everyone knew every single word, and was dancing like mad. Gary Glenn was dancing with his hands in the air, and encouraging us all to do the same throughout the track.
The band were totally dedicated to their music, and gave every single song 110%. Their writing is skilled, and the way that they work together and bounce their energy off of each other is something they have mastered perfectly to create a great show.
