It Takes Two is the second album by Juicy, the duo of Jerry and Katreese Barnes, originally released in 1985 and reissued in 2012. The album is a strong example of mid-1980s R&B, where electronic production and funk-inspired songwriting merged into a polished, radio-friendly sound. Guided by producer Eumir Deodato, the record features bright synth textures, programmed drum machines, and glossy studio effects that define the era’s sonic identity. While the single “Sugar Free” achieved the most commercial success, the album maintains a consistent quality across all tracks, balancing smooth vocal harmonies with dance-oriented grooves. Katreese Barnes’ vocal performance often takes center stage, supported by tight arrangements and rhythmic basslines. The bonus remixes included in the reissue add a more club-oriented dimension to the original material, enhancing its appeal for collectors and fans of 80s funk and soul crossover productions.
