Let’s face it. Nothing beats 90s pop and RnB when it comes to getting people out of their seats and onto a dancefloor. This was undoubtedly a golden age for these genres, and as music fans we were blessed with an abundance of groups with distinct sounds and styles. If you are looking for a nostalgic pop-soul fix that is reminiscent of the 90s but with a modern fix, then let me humbly submit the latest single from the talented LaShonda Schofield. She might not be a household name just yet, but she’s well on her way to becoming one. And her latest single, “No Grown Boys Allowed,” reveals all the reasons why.
From the jump, “No Grown Boys Allowed” brings tons of feel-good, body-moving energy. But running parallel to the song’s party-starting vibe is a important message about R-E-S-P-E-C-T. One thing that LaShonda continually brings to her music is a commitment to campaigning for people (especially women) to break unhealthy patterns in love and relationships. This doesn’t mean that she ignores the great aspects of opening your heart to another person, it just means that she encourages everyone to do so with their eyes wide open. And in “No Grown Boys Allowed,” she sings of breaking oneself free from unhealthy “love” – the kind of love where one of the partners (in this case, the guy) offers less than the bare minimum. The song, with its energizing production from longtime collaborators Bread and Water Productions, is a welcomed shot of funky soul that lands in our playlists at just the right time. Spring is here and we can all use a musical pick-me-up. What’s more, this uprocking jam falls right in line with other meaningful gem in Ms Schofield‘s discography – such as her debut single “Wash That Man” and the straight-no-chaser soul number “Calamity“. Vocally, LaShonda absolutely outdoes herself on this single with her incredible tone and impassioned delivery – managing to ride the swirls and drops of the song perfectly.
