Somewhere between electro soul and melodramatic pop. Music focused towards the youth set in some strange dream. Not sugarcoating anything. These late '80s/early '90s recordings are something to truly behold. The Aset Players were a collective founded by a group of individuals deeply involved in community improvement initiatives and the struggle for justice and equality. A project that would link motivated adults with talented young people in the Washington, DC metropolitan area. The compilation takes songs from three released projects of Aset, and one semi-unreleased single. Latonya, a spunky 11-year-old kid singing about divorce, love, and dancing is the poster child of Aset. There's three songs from Treo, a trio of high school gals in harmony singing about love and relationships, and one from Whax, the high school boys who were a bit stranger; the silly side of Aset. All are backed by The Aset Players. Housed in a newly-designed jacket with inner sleeve containing info on the label/artists and an interview with the label director, Mba Mbulu.
