Today (brief background)Today was a late-80s/early-90s New Jack Swing/R&B vocal quartet from Detroit, signed to Motown. The group consisted of lead singer Lee Drakeford, Wesley Adams, Larry Singletary, and Larry McCain. They were known for smooth harmonies, street-edge beats, and romantic ballads – very much in the Guy, Bobby Brown, and early Jodeci lane.1. Today – The New Formula (1990)

• Label: Motown
• Catalog: MOTD-6305
• UPC: 050109630529
• Peak: #1 on Billboard R&B Albums
• Key singles:

·        “Why You Get Funky On Me” (Top 10 R&B, featured in House Party movie)

·        “I Wanna Come Back Home”

• Style: Pure New Jack Swing – swinging beats, chant hooks, rap breaks, big synth bass. This is the album that made them stars and is considered a genre classic.

2. Today – Today (self-titled, also known as the “white cover” album) (1988)

• Label: Motown
• Catalog: MCD06197MD
• UPC: 050109619723
• Key singles:
• “Girl I Got My Eyes On You” (#1 R&B hit)

·        “Him or Me” (Top 20 R&B)

·        “Take It Off”

• Style: Their debut – more traditional late-80s R&B with some New Jack flavor, but smoother and less aggressive than The New Formula. Think mid-tempo grooves and ballads; strong harmonies, but not yet the full Teddy Riley-style swing that exploded on the second album.

The self-titled 1988 CD is solid but moderate success; The New Formula (1990) is the one everyone remembers and still gets played in 90s/R&B throwback sets. Both original Motown CDs are now collectibles, especially sealed or near-mint copies of The New Formula.
