Something New / Gonna Have Big Fun is a polished two-album collection from New Horizons that captures the transition between sophisticated early-1980s funk and modern soul grooves. Released by Funkytowngrooves, this expanded edition combines the group’s 1983 album Something New with the 1984 follow-up Gonna Have Big Fun, presenting a complete overview of their smooth yet rhythmically driven sound. The recordings blend soulful vocal harmonies, danceable basslines, synth-driven arrangements, and touches of electro-funk that reflect the evolving urban music landscape of the mid-1980s. Tracks such as “Your Thing Is Your Thing,” “Something New,” and “Big Fun” highlight the group’s energetic groove-oriented style, while songs like “Searching For That Lady” and “Love To Spend The Night” explore a softer and more melodic side. Rich production, catchy hooks, and polished instrumentation make the collection appealing to fans of classic funk and vintage R&B. This release stands as a strong example of the sophisticated dance-soul sound that flourished during the early digital era of funk music.
