    Klymaxx's music was in the same 80's funk family as Cameo, Rick James, and even Michael Jackson (Bad). Hard beats, strong guitars, edgy.

    An O G All Girl Band. Great vocals. They were also great musicians. They had such an edge especially for r&b. Yep you can hear the Jam & Lewis in it.

    The feminist movement was started a long time ago but most people don’t realize that Klymaxx had a heavy hand in starting the girl power movement way back in 1981. Their first album is titled “never underestimate the power of a woman.” The single of the same name was as innovative and cool as you would expect from this group.
    Almost 2 decades later the Spice Girls popularized “girl power” by borrowing directly from Klymaxx.
    You would hear some people who lived during the 80s say Klymaxx was huge while others say otherwise. The reason for this is that like most music in pre-social media times, music was kind of segregated. RnB music was pushed hard in what was considered RnB markets. They had country and rock markets. The mainstream was for anything with crossover appeal. The fact that Klymaxx wasn’t a bigger crossover success was a result of poor marketing by their label. That eventually played a role in their breakup.
    Their song “Sexy” has a similar vibe to this one. Even their love songs were on another level. Check out “I miss you” and my personal favorite “I’d still say yes.”

      They weren’t feminists they were womanist. Feminist hate men. The Spice Girls was just autotune fluff.

      Feminism had nothing to do with it. There were masters at their craft, showed up and did their thing. Everything a woman does out of the box isn't feminism.
