Amazon.com: One of the most successful freestyle groups, TKA brings to the music confident beats crossbred with heart-on-sleeve, bleeding male egos. Discovered while the three youths entertained at a Sweet 16 party by singing over hip-hop instrumentals, TKA were an early inspiration for the sped up, Latinized hip-hop that birthed the freestyle phenomenon. All the hits here pit lush, romantic vocals against immaculately polished beats and synths. Like all the best freestyle, TKA's hits get inside the teenage mind through the lyrics and the teenage body through irresistible dance grooves. --John Sanchez
Greatest Freestyle Group, Greatest song's With all the reviews I was surprised to find no track listing with song time lengths. The original of these songs appear on their Scars of Love and Louder than Love albums. I would think think that the originals would be longer except for Maria which is the extended version. 1--- One Way Love 4.10 2--- Come Get My Love 4.35 3--- Scars of Love 3.58 4--- Tears May Fall (92 Remix version) 6.07 5--- X-Ray Vision 4.34 6--- Don't be afraid 4.54 7--- You Are the One 4.10 8--- I won't Give up on You 4.45 9--- Crash 4.49 10--- Give your Love to Me 5.06 11--- Louder than Love 4.32 12--- I can't help It 4.12 13---Is It Love 4.35 14--- Maria 6.57 I hope that is helpful.
FREAKING AWESOME THE MUSIC TOOK ME BACK TO THE OLD DAYS OF THE 80'S, WHEN THIS MUSIC STARTED PLAYIN ON ANY RADIO WE WOULD ALL GET UP FROM WHEREVER AND DANCE LIKE CRAZY,,,,,,TKA STILL ROCKS!!!!!!
great music in a great time Whatever happened to this kind of music? Fast paced, danceable, profanity free, performers who weren't getting locked up for drug-related offenses or drive-by shootings.This kind of music was fun and carefree. Every song on here is about love and angst. I saw these guys perform back in Florida when I lived there and was impressed especially with the songs. As explained by another reviewer, these songs are all great and each one is different from the other. If you love Freestyle, this is a must have for your collection. I really wish there was a revival of this kind of music.
husband loves it i don't like the band but my husband is very happy with this purchase
Oh - how I loved TKA back in the day! Now being 33yrs old, this CD brings back some serious memories. This is when dance music was at its best - freestyle. TKA was one of the best groups around back then. Most others were one or two hit wonders but this group just kept bring out more and more hits. If you like this, try K7 too - K (from TKA) left and made that CD in 1993. There are some really good hits on there too. This is a GREAT CD to work out with now too. Highly recommend to anyone, even the younger generations. My favs were some of the less popular: Don't Be Afraid and You are the One although the more popular hits: Maria, Louder then Love, Scars of Love and Tears May Fall are all excellent too.
