Motownphilly

"Motownphilly" is a song by American vocal harmony group Boyz II Men, released in April 1991 by Motown as the first single from their debut album, Cooleyhighharmony (1991).

The song's title is a portmanteau of two of the group's main musical influences: 1960s Motown and 1970s Philly soul.

Additionally, Questlove appears briefly as a drummer, due to his previous relationship with the group from high school.

Dele Fadele from NME wrote, "Floating on a cloud through the chequered history of soul, yet inherently modern, Boyz II Men are plotting the new musical map.

From Detroit to Philadelphia, this is East Coast style and sass in abundance, mixing and matching MFSB strings, House synth-bass, raps and the ghost of several songs rolled into one.
