Klymaxx was conceived and formed by Bernadette Cooper, who also chose the name. The dream of an all girl band became a quest she pursued after leaving college. Through many auditions and temporary members the group that became successful consisted of drummer/vocalist Bernadette Cooper, vocalist Lorena Porter (Stewart), bassist/vocalist Joyce Irby, guitarist Cheryl Cooley and keyboardists Lynn Malsby and Robbin Grider.

More recently, Irby has been involved with launching the career of young R&B vocalist and The Inc/Def Jam recording artist Lloyd. Lloyd Polite was once a member of the teen pop group N-Toon, whom Irby put together and signed to Dreamworks Records in the mid-1990s.

Haven't heard the Cooper album. She probably talks through the whole thing.

besides the odd 90s r&b research sesh i basically never dig for old stuff these days tbh, i'm just wasted and bored right now so i'm following the k-man's trail of crumbs

can tell this bernadette lp will still be awes when i wake up tho

the unsung episode about klymaxx really made them seem like the real deal and made me want to investigate their stuff more

"nu boy" on the girls album melodically =

ugh. alassssss.

Electrik Red – will there ever be another album?

Man, someone just asked me about that today.

How to Be a Lady’s so slept on! It’s a perfect record.

Well that’s the point – it’s slept on! If everybody had just bought it then we’d have probably made four records by now. Solange loves that Electrik Red album. Every time we get a chance to talk she’s like ‘Electrik Red, that album…’. And I’m like ‘I know!’. We hit a home run with that album. But again, it comes back to marketing, there’s a lot of things that have to happen – people have to know that it’s there… It’s almost becoming a little cultural thing of its own though.

(saw terius live last night, it wasn't so worthwhile as to bump a thread but at least he did "fancy")

only 5000 people bought the Electrik Red album, but each of them became a bass music producer

lol

p sure each of them posted to this thread

"I thought I wouldn't really give a fuck, but now a bitch all in love, don't mean to be a hater, but OOH SHIT DAMN you're so good, so good, so good, so good, OOH SHIT DAMN.'

(What else in the world is really as... joyously and unconditionally celebratory of female sexuality as this album?)

((Probably an academic question, but still.))

I watched that video this morning and it's still the best.

this album is still maybe the best album released in my lifetime

and i feel like if a group like them came along right now they would be incredibly popular

It's insane that there hasn't been a follow-up album.

oh shit damn

Agree with all of that

yeah beyond this did this record ever have much traction in the SJ or feminist community? posting on ilx always makes it hard to judge what the real world thinks of things but it seems like this was a couple years too early for both r&b's acceptance by the pitchfork crowd and the rise of tumblr etc

im also in.

ooooh this is an ER song I've never heard before! also, I miss them ;_;

nice!

2012–present
Since the debut of their first album, Electrik Red has been in the studio working on their second album which has an unknown release date.

Sometimes I use my old ipod at the gym and their album's songs pop up. Another one would be nice

1 member was in NYC doing choreography in 2016

The up-tempo musical numbers, choreographed by Kyndra Binkie Reevey, give the convoluted plot nice jolts of energy and are danced with ebullient relish by the cast. But “Cherchez La Femme,” unlike Kid Creole’s best songs, never really finds a comfortable groove.
