TLC: Creep / Waterfalls Vinyl 7"

"TLC's 'Creep' and 'Waterfalls' are both stone cold killers from the golden age of American R&B. Here they are again, back to back on a jukebox 7", just as they appeared back in 1996. Name a more iconic duo. As far as Be With Records is concerned, the mid-90s remains a high point for this supreme musical expression, and these two tunes from T-Boz, Left-Eye, and Chilli sit pretty much at the summit. A pair of canonical guaranteed party starters if ever we heard them. The achingly cool funk of 'Creep' was the lead single from TLC's second album CrazySexyCool. A breezy horn refrain, speaker smashing beats and the Slick Rick samples blend sumptuously with the defiant lyrics to create an eternal sun-drenched classic. On the flip, 'Waterfalls', also off CrazySexyCool, was no mere follow-up single. It's maybe easy to forget now, 25 years on, but the track was regarded as groundbreaking when it was released in 1995. Musically, the future-retro sound appealed to deep heads across the board, turning TLC into the mainstream R&B group it was hip for the indie cognoscenti to reference, and those bracing lyrics moved them beyond 'just a fun girl group.' From then on, TLC were seen as the real deal. Remastered for this vinyl reissue (that turntable crackle is pure, authentic '90s sampling), Be With Records present this essential double-sider as a dinked 7" perfect for every record bag." - Be With Records
