Review by Stacy Cook

Album Review: Kenyatta’s I Wanna Do Something Freaky To You Good Vibes Kenyatta’s 1990 release, I Wanna Do Something Freaky To You Good Vibes, is a hidden gem in the world of electronic music that blends disco and house with an infectious energy. Released under Delicious Vinyl, this record captures the spirit of its time while offering a timeless groove that still resonates today. It’s not perfect—some tracks feel repetitive—but it’s packed with enough charm and creativity to keep listeners hooked. One standout track is "Good Vibes (House Vibes Mix)." The moment the beat drops, you’re transported to a dimly lit dance floor circa 1990. Ronald Jeffrey’s keyboard work here adds layers of warmth, creating a lush backdrop for the rhythm section. Brian Foxworthy and Tom Grimley’s engineering gives the track a crisp clarity, letting every element breathe. There’s something about how the synths swirl around the steady bassline—it feels like sunshine melting into night. If you’ve ever wanted to lose yourself in sound, this mix delivers. Another unforgettable cut is "I Wanna Do Something Freaky To You (Extended Version)." This one leans heavily into its funky roots, thanks to Steve Verhault’s guitar riffs slicing through the mix. Featuring Def Jef on vocals, the track has a playful edge that makes it impossible not to smile. The lyrics are cheeky without being over-the-top, and the production team, led by Matt Dike and Michael Ross, keeps things tight yet free-flowing. Alexx Antaeus and Orlando Aguillen’s mixing deserves a shout-out too; they balance the instrumental breaks and vocal sections flawlessly. What strikes me most about this album is its ability to feel both nostalgic and fresh at the same time. Sure, it’s got that late-80s/early-90s vibe, but there’s a universality to these grooves that transcends decades. Listening to it now, I can almost picture Leon Haywood, who wrote the tracks, nodding along approvingly as each song came together. In the end, I Wanna Do Something Freaky To You Good Vibes isn’t just an album—it’s a vibe. And honestly? I’d take this over half the stuff coming out today. Who knew a little-known project from 1990 could still hit so hard? Guess sometimes good vibes really do stand the test of time. Rating: 8/10

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s a fun fact: The album *I Wanna Do Something Freaky To You Good Vibes* by Kenyatta is a hidden gem from the early '90s electronic scene. It blends disco and house in a way that feels both nostalgic and fresh. What’s wild is how many talented people came together to make it happen. For example, Def Jef, a legendary figure in hip-hop, lent his skills to half the tracks. And get this—Leon Haywood, the man behind the original version of the titular track, also wrote the songs for this album. So, it’s like a remix masterpiece with deep roots in funk history. Oh, and if you’re into details, two different engineers worked on the first side alone, showing just how much care went into crafting those beats.
