An **EXTREMELY** rare version of New Edition’s “You’re Not My Kind of Girl” was recently discovered, and is now being shared your listening pleasure. Reports say it can be found intermittently on Apple Music and plays at random when selected. Differences include new percussion, and new vocal ad libs sprinkled throughout the song by Johnny Gill (throughout) and new vocals by Ricky Bell on the back-half of the song. Enjoy!


– The Return of the NJS4E Forum

Launched in January 2004, the Original NJS4E Message Board (Forum) and was the first online community dedicated to New Jack Swing on the planet. After some major technical work behind the scenes, we were able to piece together as much as we could from the original NJS4E forum database and we’re picking up from a few years earlier than where we left off (Nov 2007) and a lot of the old stuff is still here! If you’re an OG member, check out this amazing walk down memory lane, and if you’re new – let’s keep this party going.
