In last days of September '98 Masterboy released a video to their most current release: "Dancing Forever"
After a long period of time the group is back with a new track released in January 1998, called "Nights In Brodadway". This new release is a cover of old song and was recorded in hybrid R&B/Pop/Disco styles. Granted some Euro is in there too, but if you expected good Euro-NRG, you will be deadly dissapointed. I am not sure if this is a change in style but for God sake! They should keep Euroenergy sound they are famous of, alive! Let's see what other production will be avaialble soon from this group. If you eager to listen to the audio sampler in RA please click here In July 1997 Masterboy released a single: "La Ola Hand In Hand". This tile that previously appeared on their newest album Cololurs is done in very popular these days Euro-Reggae style. For all of you who like more NRG sound there is sorta "bonus" track: "Set Me Free". This very nicely done NRG track from progressive verge had it's premier since previously because it was previously unreleased. Between November 24th and 29th Masterboy stayed in Mexico and played in several TV-shows. In the first week of December they were travelling to Prague (Czech Republic) for 3 days to play a big festival. In December they were also working on a new singles for Worlds Apart In the end of January 1997 Masterboy released in Germany a new single "Just For You" that previously appeared in their newest album. This single though is re-produced with a gospel choir. There are four mixes available. The song is a "Thank you" to all their fans for the last "7" years, because Masterboy was celebrating their 7th anniversary in January 1997. For last 7 years Masterboy is a present in the charts from all of the world and group wants to say thank you to all their fans for long time support. I understand many of you missed Trixy Delgado, ex-Masterboy singer. So here are current info about her. First let me deny major rumour: she is NOT pregnant (at least not now), and she is NOT married (however she is engaged as previously stated). She also went to persue her own solo career. Her stage name is Latour (no, it is not the name of the group that recorded several years ago a track called: "People Are Still Having Sex" in spite of similarity with the group name). Couple weeks ago she released her first single: "Falling For Your Love" . Both released by just closed down German label "Metronome". I reviewed the new single on my Dance Releases Review Page |
After
long time, we are back with a good news. Several months ago TRIXY DELGADO
came back to MASTERBOY and group was working very hard on releasing
a new material. On September
28, 2002 new single entitled "I Need A Lover"
was released on vinyl. Four mixes were presented such hot projects as:
PULSEDRIVER, DJs @ WORK, DJ SHAH. The CD single is planned to
be released shortly with even more remixes. Indeed a great comeback!

In
the end of November 1999 the group
released 
next
single recorded in EURO-HOUSE style called "I Like It". Cd contains
8 !!! versions of the title song. With that many versions you
probably will find the one you like. This is not exactly the MASTERBOY
sound back from middle of 90's though. I know it might frustrate some
of you who want to have some EURODANCE masterpiece. You will
not, but keep in mind that MASTERBOY is also moving with time.
But do not worry too much. In fact there are two EURO versions one in
shorter form (Edit) and one Extended. This is not the CLASSIC sound
though, but some resemblance was retained. In general it is rather EURO-HOUSE.
More PROGRESSIVE/TRANCE has been emphasize on DJ Shah's Journey to UK
Remix and SM-Trax in Trance Remix. As much as I love the group, I hope
they will be more active in dance scene and maybe, maybe they will give
us some breathtaking tunes as they did in the pass! I made extensive
sound sampler with 6 versions, so you can have better feel what's in
store.
In
June 1999 the group finally appeared again in dance scene.
Masterboy that several years ago was giving us the best possible
EURODANCE was silent for long time. The group released only one single
back in August 1998 called "Dancing Forever". So I was
extremely happy to receive their new single "Porque Te Vas".
This single also introduced a new female vocalist Annabell Krischak
who replaced Linda Rocco. This new release is quite promising
that the group is coming back to their roots. Featured tracks (there
are 4 versions of "Porque Te Vas" and "bonus" track "Make
Me Feel Good") are not exactly pure EURODANCE. The artists mixed
EURODANCE with LATINO beat and it made this track a HOT one. And YEAH!
Tommy is rapping again! Thank you MASTERBOY. We love you
and wil lbe waititng for more and more great releases. If you want to

Again, long period
of time from last single. When you thought that group is no longer intact,
the new single released in August 1998
called "Dancing Forever" proves that the group must be still
around. This single is a real twist in music direction Masterboy
takes or don't they? First of all, DO NOT expect sound your remember
the group from. "Dancing Forever" represents a direction called
DISCO HOUSE. Something like having Donna Summer doing HOUSE.
Got the picture? Another issue, there is not a male vocal (or rap) usually
characteristic for Masterboy no metter if you liked it or not,
this "touch" I missed. Entire song is lead by Linda Rocco. The
last thing is the fact that "Dancing Forever" had different team
of writers. This track was written by Willi Morrison and Bruce
Ley. It probably explains a bit why the music is different.. Enjoy
