Bobby Nunn - Second To Nunn あの娘はグルーピー

Review by Adriano Pereira

Second To Nunn あの娘はグルーピー: A Funky, Soulful Time Machine Straight Outta 1982 Alright, let’s dive into this gem. Second To Nunn あの娘はグルーピー by Bobby Nunn is one of those albums that just hits different—like stepping into a neon-lit disco somewhere in Tokyo, circa '82. It's got all the feels: soul-soaked vocals, funky basslines that slap harder than your grandma’s Sunday sermon, and synths so smooth they could melt butter. Released under Motown (yeah, THE Motown) in Japan, it’s a wild blend of electronic vibes, funk swagger, and disco magic. And trust me, once you hear it, you won’t forget it. Let’s talk tracks for a sec. First up, “Got To Get Up On It.” Oh man, this one slaps. From the moment Michael White’s drums kick in, you’re hooked. The groove is infectious—it’s like your body has no choice but to move. Billy Nunn lays down some seriously groovy electric piano riffs while Bobby himself takes center stage with his powerhouse vocals. You can tell he poured everything into this track; there’s passion dripping off every note. What makes it stick? Maybe it’s how raw and unapologetic it feels. Like, c’mon, who hasn’t had days where you just need to get up and DO SOMETHING? This song channels that energy perfectly. When I hear it, I’m not sitting still—I’m outta my chair, dancing like nobody’s watching. Then there’s “She’s Just A Groupie.” Now, this one? Pure storytelling gold. Bobby paints such vivid pictures with his lyrics—you can almost picture the scene play out in front of you. The Moog synth work here is next-level too. It gives the whole thing an otherworldly vibe, like you’ve been transported to some intergalactic club where aliens are vibing to human drama. There’s something bittersweet about it though. On the surface, it sounds fun and cheeky, but listen closer, and you’ll catch hints of longing and regret. That contrast? Chef’s kiss. It sticks with you because it’s more than just music—it’s a mood, a moment, a story you wanna revisit again and again. What really stands out about this album isn’t just the killer tunes or production quality (shoutout to Russ Terrana on mixing duties). It’s how personal it feels. Bobby didn’t just phone this one in—he played multiple instruments, handled lead AND backing vocals, even tinkered with synths like a mad scientist. You can hear the love and sweat dripping through every second of these recordings. And props to Winston Monseque for steering the ship as producer; dude clearly knew what he was doing. But here’s the kicker—the unexpected twist. Listening to this album feels like finding a secret treasure chest buried deep in the sands of time. Sure, it came out in 1982, but damn if it doesn’t still bang today. Like, why isn’t this album blasting out of car stereos everywhere? Why aren’t people losing their minds over tracks like “Got To Get Up On It”? Maybe it’s because it dropped in Japan and kinda flew under the radar globally. Or maybe...just maybe...the world wasn’t ready for Bobby Nunn back then. And honestly? Maybe we still aren’t.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s something cool: Bobby Nunn’s 1982 album *Second To Nunn あの娘はグルーピー* is a hidden gem that blends electronic, funk, and soul with a disco twist. Released in Japan under Motown, it’s wild how Bobby played almost every instrument himself—synths, bass, piano, even the Moog and Prophet! The album features tracks like "Sexy Sassy" and "She's Just A Groupie," which ooze funky vibes. Fun fact: Michael White handled drums while Billy Nunn (possibly related?) rocked the electric piano and synths. It’s rare to see one artist wear so many hats—producer, arranger, vocalist, musician—all on one record. Definitely worth checking out if you love retro sounds with a Japanese touch!
