'New Jack Story,' part of Corey Lingo's mixtape 'Safe 2 Say,' revitalizes the new jack swing genre with a contemporary twist. The song features catchy hooks, yearning harmonies, and an infectious beat that draws listeners in. It evokes nostalgic dance vibes, reminiscent of romantic battles seen in 'House Party.' Corey's unique vocals blend classic influences like Ralph Tresvant with current styles, creating an engaging sound. The track stands out as a successful hit in an evolving R&B landscape, showcasing Lingo's potential to influence modern pop music.
"New Jack Story is a hit. Like a one-man boy band, Corey's got the passionately sung hook, the sticky background harmonies, and a longing outro that goes on for too long."
"What updates the sound beyond straight pastiche is Corey's softly showy yet processed vocals; even if you're not familiar with Corey Lingo or the BeatPluggz lore, you can tell he's heard as much Ralph Tresvant as Skooly."
