Plush

Description

Plush, the 1982 studio album by the 80s synth-boogie group Plush, is a landmark album in the genre. The group, consisting of Siedah Garrett, Tony Phillips, and Ambrose Price, was known for its smooth blend of R&B, funk, and synth-driven melodies. Garrett, who later gained recognition as a solo artist and songwriter, brought a distinctive vocal presence to the group. Shortly after the group's breakup, she was discovered by Michael Jackson, for whom she later provided backing vocals and co-wrote "Man In The Mirror." The album was produced by Bobby Watson, René Moore, and Angela Winbush. It features catchy tracks like "Free and Easy" and "We've Got the Love," showcasing their polished production and heartfelt harmonies. Although it did not achieve major commercial success, Plush has become a cult favorite for its authentic early 80s sound. It is an important work in the disco boogie genre, reflecting the transitional period of early 80s music, and it is one of the rare and sought-after albums from that era.
