(2003) Zapp - Zapp VI Back By Popular Demand





01 Intro
02 You've Got Mail
03 Say You Will Say You Won't
04 I Wanna Love You
05 She's 'Bout To Roll
06 The Discussion (skit)
07 The Way You Walk & Move
08 If You Would Love Me
09 This Is Our Song To You
10 Be With You Forever
11 Late Night Fantasy
12 Zapp Is Back
13 Get Up Off The Wall
14 I Finally Found What I've Been



Depois de sete anos sem gravar o grupo volta desfalcado de seu líder e mentor. E não fizeram feio, este album é muito bom. Tem o seu som tradicional com o R&B dos tempos atuais. Aliás, acho que é o trampo mais R&B deles. Mr. Roger Troutman que me perdoe, mas, este disco é um dos meu preferidos. Gosto de todas as faixas, porém, destaco "You've Got Mail" e a emocionante música feita em homenagem ao mestre: "This Is Our Song To You".

(1996) Roger & Zapp - Compilation: Greatest Hits, Vol. 2 & More


01. Living For The City
02. Chocolate City
03. I Will Always Love You
04. A Thin Line Between Love & Hate (with H-Town)
05. Easy
06. (Everybody) Get Up (Feat. EPMD)
07. Midnight Hour
08. It Doesn't Really Matter
09. I Only Have Eyes For You
10. California Love
11. Play Some Blues
12. Girl, Cut It Out
13. Please Come Home For Christmas


Imperdivel. As versões para "Living For The City" (Stevie Wonder), "I Will Always Love You" (Whitney Houston) e "Easy" (Commodores), ja valem o disco. Ainda tem "California Love" e "Girl, Cut It Out", que também ganharam novas versões neste album.



(1993) Zapp & Roger - All the Greatest Hits



01 More Bounce To The Ounce (5:14)
02 Be Alright (2:43)
03 I Heard It Through The Grapevine (6:48)

05 Do It Roger (5:17)
06 Dance Floor (5:13)
07 Doo Wa Ditty (Blow That Thing) (3:46)
08 I Can Make You Dance (4:00)
09 Heartbreaker (Part 1, Part 2) (4:15)

14 I Want To Be Your Man (4:09)
15 Curiosity (Remix) (4:28)
16 Slow And Easy (5:11)
17 Mega Medley (4:08)


Falando de albuns, este foi o maior êxito do grupo, que passou a se chamar Zapp & Roger. Compilação de algumas músicas dos albuns anteriores em versões compactas ou remix, ainda com a inédita "Slow & Easy" (nº 18 R&B) e também um "Mega Medley" (nº 30 R&B).
