While singing on a street in Soho, Manhattan, R&B vocal group Solo caught the attention of former <a href="spotify:artist:1EgGVV9cmmlLEsFlunjmvv">Time</a> members <a href="spotify:artist:4ZaXj4ZrqscgpfqJolMfib">Jimmy Jam</a> and Terry Lewis, hit-making producers who had previously worked with the likes of <a href="spotify:artist:6pXCjxMOBcWtvULYkFPVW6">the S.O.S. Band</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:047D9GgqEzyMoULd2oKr7G">Alexander O'Neal</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:4qwGe91Bz9K2T8jXTZ815W">Janet Jackson</a>, among many others. Signed to the duo's <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Perspective%22">Perspective</a> label and flown in to record at their Flyte Time Studios in suburban Minneapolis, the group came out with a self-titled album in 1995. Two of its singles -- "Where Do You Want Me to Put It" and "Heaven," the retro-styled latter of which sounded like no other contemporary song on radio -- reached the Top Ten of Billboard's R&B/Hip-Hop chart. The album eventually went gold. A less successful second album, 4 Bruthas & a Bass, was issued in 1998. Although neither <a href="spotify:artist:4ZaXj4ZrqscgpfqJolMfib">Jam</a> nor Lewis was involved in any of the writing or production, it featured an exceptional single in the form of "Touch Me," a collaboration with <a href="spotify:artist:6g0Wah2YFtb1rFgKhUktlo">Raphael Saadiq</a> that deserved much better than its number 26 R&B/Hip-Hop peak. Solo re-emerged during the early 2010s and gradually worked toward the release of an independent album, the unsurprisingly refined and soul-rooted 3.0 Rebooted, which was issued in 2015. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi
