Comprised of brothers Prince Be (Attrell Cordes) and DJ Minute Mix
(Jarrett Cordes), the early-'90s group P.M. Dawn straddled the gap
between hip-hop and smooth '70s-style soul, creating an innovative
urban R&B that owed as much to pop as it did to rhythm and blues.
The brothers recorded their debut single, "Ode to a Forgetful Mind,"
in 1988, but P.M. Dawn didn't release a full-length album until
1991. The record, Of the Heart, of the Soul, of the Cross: The
Utopian Experience, was an immediate hit, thanks to the single "Set
Adrift on Memory Bliss," which sampled Spandau Ballet's new wave hit
"True." Both the album and the single received glowing reviews, as
did the 1993 follow-up, The Bliss Album?, which featured the hit
singles "I'd Die Without You" and "Looking Through Patient Eyes." In
1995, P.M. Dawn returned with Jesus Wept, which received strong
reviews but weak sales. Dearest Christian, I'm So Very Sorry for
Bringing You Here. Love, Dad followed in 1998; by this time, the
group had virtually dropped out of sight as a commercial force, even
though most corners continued to praise the artistic quality of
their work.
Lifted off the soundtrack to 90s comedy Senseless, "Gotta Be...
Movin' On Up" produced by P.M. Dawn and featuring Ky-Mani, was built
on "Just An Illusion" by UK R&B phenomenom Imagination. Also
included on this maxi-single is the exclusive "Perfect" track which
only appeared here.
