Think (About It)

Released

The debut album from fiery vocalist Lyn Collins, produced by James Brown, contained her biggest hit ‘Think (About It)’, which has been sampled on literally 1000s of hip hop, house, hardcore, jungle and drum and bass records. The album is a mix of mid-tempo R’n’B and funky numbers, all delivered in that unmistakable powerhouse voice, along with a couple of ballads where Collins really gets a chance to shine. Although it’s the JBs supplying the music, with plenty of church organ, upfront brass and Collins’ gospel-influenced singing style, there’s something of a southern soul feel to much of the album.
