Skyy - Start Of A Romance

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Review by Amy Hanson from allmusic.com

Following in the footsteps of both Brass Construction and B.T. Express,
latter-day funk band Skyy spent the better part of the 1980s honing its
sound, keeping the funk-fueled ethics and infusing the beat with catchy disco.
Start of a Romance, released in 1989, found the band now on Atlantic and
clawing its way back into America's psyche after a three-year silence, hitting
the streets with an album of light funk and dance ballads. The title track
abounds with a big beat technique, while the slightly skewed tempo behind
the lush vocal harmonies sets the pace for what unfolds as slick and
sophisticated dance-pop. It's a technique that the band would employ to its
advantage across the entire set -- while it can be argued that "Start of a
Romance" is just another late-'80s dance song, there's enough push and pull
within the bars to create an interesting rhythm. Elsewhere, Skyy brought the
marginally soppy "Real Love," with its emphatic spoken word break, into the
charts as easily as it employed the mainstream's burgeoning love of scratching
within "Sending a Message." Although the album enjoyed more than moderate
success, by this time the members of Skyy found themselves supplanted by
the similar strains of the likes of both Janet Jackson and Paula Abdul. The
band would drop from sight shortly after, not to reappear until 1992.
