One spin of Sam Gendel's Cookup LP feels like crashing into a jazz club where the drinks flow as smoothly as the rhythms. This collection transforms familiar 90s and early 2000s R&B hits; like Ginuwine's "Differences" and Aaliyah's "I Don't Wanna"; into a whole different dish, much like a chef remixing your grandma's comfort food with a gourmet flair. With a team of talented collaborators, Gendel reinvigorates these classics, pushing you to reconsider what you've heard before. This isn't just another tribute; it's a creative playground bursting with syncopation that turns each track into a lively dialogue rather than a tired rerun.
