    Latin Freestyle music was everywhere mid to late 80's and very early 90s.... If you love Expose , you'll love Sa-Fire , The Cover Girls, and you've already heard Lisa Lisa Cult Jam. Plus many more Noel, Sweet Sensation, Stevie B , Linear, Lisette Melendez, George Lamond , Company B, even Sheila E and Shannon are linked to this Genre of music.

No wonder we're so nostalgic, all these bangers are tattooed in our minds after all these decades.

    Empress - you are correct. This is considered the 80s Latin Freestyle. It was huge in Miami, New York and Los Angeles. All areas high in Latin peeps. And it took the world by storm. Expose was one of the biggest girl groups to come out of the 80s. Another group that had similar success was the Cover Girls, and they brought it in their music as well. They also had group members come and go, hence why they sound different in some of the songs. The Latin Freestyle had many groups that were just solid. Like Sweet Sensation, Johnny O, Stevie B, and Cynthia to name a few.

    Exposé was definitely part of the Latin freestyle genre. They had two faster uptempo hits ("Come Go with Me" and "Point of No Return") that was more obviously part of that sound. I actually prefer those two songs but this one is a bop too.
