The Isley Brothers [2022] - Make Me Say It Again, Girl [R.I Top Ten] (Full Album)


As alluded to yesterday the first The Isley Brothers album for five years "Make Me Say It Again, Girl" is out today and is their 33rd studio album. It consists of fourteen tracks with an extended 7:45 version of the title track released as their last single featuring Beyonce opening the album.

There are several guest appearances from  Snoop Dogg on their 2021 single "Friends And Family", Trey Songz and Rick Ross, as mentioned yesterday, but no sign of Alicia Keys or Drake as was leaked but EWF and El DeBarge feature on probably the standout new track "There'll Never Be" which is the Switch R&B Top 10 song from 1978. It was written by Bobby DeBarge who at that time was a member of the group who were previously called First Class before becoming Barry White's backing group White Heat who were quickly dropped and changed their name to Hot-Ice before Switch.

With fourteen tracks and it being 'frantic Friday', I've not had an opportunity to listen to the album properly in full and apart from "There'll Never Be" and perhaps "The Plug" (which has a rap section) nothing immediately jumped out so I'll leave it to you to select your favourite tracks. Apart from the stepper "Friends And Family" they are all downtempo ballads with a few including rap.

Ronald Isley (now 81) and Ernie Isley (70) are the only two remaining members of the group of six brothers as all other brothers except Rudolph (who left to join the ministry in 1989) are now deceased. Ronald was only 13 when he and his elder brothers O'Kelly and Rudolph formed the group in 1954. Ernie was only two and joined the group in 1966 aged 14.
