New jill swing was a cheeky response to the very male, late
80s world of new jack swing, and it was the dawn of a
golden age for female R&B in the 90s.
The original source of new jack swing - or swingbeat -
could be found in key records such as Janet Jackson’s
“Control”, produced by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, which
mixed hard beats with soul, real R&B with 808s and a
tough shuffle. Producer Teddy Riley took these sounds a
step further at the end of the 80s, blending them with hip-
hop because - strange as it now seems – hip-hop in the 80s
was barely integrated into R&B.
Solo acts like Karyn White (‘The Way You Love Me’) and
Jasmine Guy (‘Try Me’) followed in Janet Jackson’s future-
perfect footsteps, inspiring a bunch of female groups who
followed in the early 90s. The initial ground-breakers were
a Motown act called the Good Girls who were set up to be a
swingbeat Supremes, with the wonderful ‘Your Sweetness’
in 1989. 1990 saw the emergence of R&B superstars En
Vogue whose confidence and style proved that swingbeat
wasn’t just a genre for boy bands. Xscape (‘Love On My
Mind’) followed in 1991 while SWV (‘I’m So Into You’) and
Jade (‘Don’t Walk Away’) both had their first UK hits in the
spring of 1993. These hits were also pop classicist in their
melodies and lyrics, harking back to 60s girl groups as
much as they looked forward to the 21st century.
“New Jill Swing” has been compiled by Saint Etienne's
Bob Stanley and is historically significant as the first ever
compilation of the genre. New jill swing may have
borrowed from hip-hop but it was more smartly stylized
and consciously retro-modern in its look, whether that was
in En Vogue’s Old Hollywood references, the Good Girls’
plaid skirts or Jade’s baseball caps and braids. It would
also unwittingly lay down the groundwork for the ultra-
modern sounds to come later in the decade from the likes
of TLC and Missy Elliot.
