TFA blurb review

[edit]

House of Music is the fourth and final album by American R&B band Tony! Toni! Toné! Released in 1996 by Mercury Records, it followed the success of the band's 1993 Sons of Soul album. Bassist and vocalist Raphael Saadiq, guitarist and vocalist D'wayne Wiggins, and percussionist and keyboardist Timothy Christian Riley worked on songs for the album independently before recording them together as a group and doing most of the production. Tony! Toni! Toné! sought to emphasize musicianship rather than production technique during the sessions. The record expanded on their previous work's traditional R&B influences with live instrumentation and balladry. Music journalists have noted the album's incorporation of traditional and contemporary sensibilities, themes of love and romance, and witty, sensitive lyrics. The album charted for 31 weeks on the Billboard 200, peaking at number 32, and sold over a million units in the U.S. Critics praised the musicianship and songwriting. (Full article...)
