Jodeci Share Series Of Remastered Music Videos To YouTube

Jodeci are continuing their 30th anniversary celebrations for 1995’s The Show, The Afterparty, The Hotel with a collection of remastered videos, available now on YouTube. The videos include the album hit “Love U 4 Life,” alongside “Come & Talk To Me,” “Feenin’,” “Stay,” and “Let’s Go Through The Motions.”

The video for “Love U 4 Life,” the beloved wedding anthem, of course features a trip down the aisle. Shots intersperse scenes of a wedding with the group performing in front of the night skyline in matching white suits. The video for “Stay” also features some matching all-white ensembles. It’s more of a straightforward performance video, but it’s full of 90s style and charm.

“Come & Talk To Me” gets two videos: one for the original mix, and one for the hip-hop remix. The original mix resembles the simple feel of “Stay,” but the hip-hop remix features an elaborate poolside setup, beautiful love interests, and comically large 90s landlines. The video for “Feenin’” is the most elaborate of the bunch, opening with a short skit before transitioning into a series of dream sequences experienced by the members as they are trapped lovesick in a mental institution.

Emerging as one of the definitive R&B acts of their era, Jodeci brought a hard edge to the genre, pushing the limits of R&B with the often raw and deeply sexual content of their music and favoring a hip-hop-informed presentation involving baseball caps, sports jerseys, and military boots. The then-unconventional styling fueled Jodeci’s reputation as the “bad boys of R&B”—an antithesis to smooth, clean-cut acts like Boyz II Men.

In celebration of The Show, The Afterparty, The Hotel’s 30th anniversary, the album is being pressed to vinyl again for the first time since its original release. The 2LP black vinyl release is housed in a standard capacity jacket mirroring the original tracklist.
