Music Appreciation
If I may borrow from a Garth Algar quote, watching Bell Biv Devoe's Do Me! on MTV when I was in my teens made me, "feel kinda funny, like when we used to climb the rope in gym-class."
Released on June 10, 1990, Do Me! embodies the essence of early '90s R&B, with a blend of R&B, hip-hop, and new jack swing. Produced by Bell Biv Devoe and Carl Bourelly, the track is characterized by its pulsating bassline, infectious drum pattern, and catchy synth hooks.
The song, which revolves around the pursuit of love, passionate desire and sex, reached number three in the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and remained there for 22 weeks. Proving that there were a lot of us who felt kinda funny and liked it; more so with the music video.
The music video, which was directed by Lionel C. Martin, created a captivating visual experience showcasing the trio's choreography talent, and urban hiphop fashion of the '90s.
