The Original 7ven




This is my favorite track off of this album by the members of the original Time.

Condensate is the fifth solo album by the American funk ensemble now known as The Original 7ven and formerly known as The Time. Released on October 18, 2011, the album was the group's first release in 11 years. Condensate peaked at #58 on the Billboard 200 album chart and #10 on the U.S. R&B album chart. "#Trendin" was also released as a single and reached #77 on the U.S. R&B charts.

The Original 7ven - Toast to the Party Girl



The Original 7ven is the 7 original members of the bad 'The Time', famous for their songs Jungle Love, and The Bird. They reunited last year and put together a FANTASTIC album called Condisate that sounds just like The Time with a bit of current sound thrown in. How could they not produce a fantastic album? Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis have written more hits than you can shake a stick at. Jesse Johnson is a fantastic song writer and an unparalleled drummer. Morris Day is the king of cool. And Monte Moir and Jellybean Johnson are also guys who have written hits and are fantastic musicians. They could not release the album under their old The Time moniker as Prince owns it and wouldn't give it up. Sucks, but, things go on. Anyway, they took the name The Original 7ven, and like I said, they released a truly fantastic album that went unheard as radio doesn't play anything from artists like these guys. So, listen to this little ditty called The Original Party Girl, and go get that album!
