Album Notes & Community Reviews
Guided by the visionary talk-box mastery of Roger Troutman, Zapp delivers another heavily synthesized funk masterclass. 'Zapp III' incorporates slicker, contemporary R&B elements into their robotic boogie, most notably on the massive hit 'I Can Make You Dance'. The album perfectly encapsulates the futuristic, party-driven sound of 1980s electro-funk.
