Too Good To Be True – Digital-b

TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE – DIGITAL-B 1989

Too Good To Be True catches that late-’80s Digital-B feel right away, with a warm lovers-rock pulse undercut by a tougher roots edge that suits both Admiral Tibett and Thriller U. Tibett’s side leans into the mournful, social-conscious tone of cuts like “In The Ghetto” and “Wrong Place, ” while Thriller U keeps things smoother and more romantic on songs like “Baby I Love You” and “Sweetest Sound. ” Digital B was still sharpening the sound that would make him one of the era’s most dependable producers, and this 1989 set shows him already knowing how to frame contrasting voices on the same foundation. The sequencing is telling too: five Admiral Tibett tracks first, then five Thriller U selections, like two distinct runs through the same riddim rather than a random shuffle of singles.
