Sex Cymbal

R&B / Soul · 1991 · 13 tracks

Sex Cymbal

A high-octane fusion of early '90s new jack swing, Minneapolis synth-funk, and virtuoso Latin percussion. Bold, slick, and relentlessly rhythmic.

March 26, 1991 · Warner Bros. Records

A high-fashion, percussion-driven celebration of independence and late-night grooves.

Moments Worth Listening For

The explosive transition from the title track's slick verses into its hyperactive, percussion-heavy chorus.

The raw, unfiltered virtuosity of the one-minute drum solo on '808 Kate', showcasing pure acoustic power over synthetic beats.

The sultry, bilingual groove shift halfway through 'Private Party (Tu Para Mi)' where Latin percussion takes absolute control.
