I have seen this new group on two occasions. I understand the need to modernize .However , I prefer the originals.. I have a tattoo saying scars of love on my left shoulder and wear it proudly forever. It has great meaning! TKA probably one of the greatest music groups in my prime in the genre. Their songs and lyrics will always forever hold special meaning to me and my friends. Whether it was making it through difficult times in life, listening to their music to help us get through it or going through the growing up phase dating being able to relate to the stories told in their music. The music, somehow was always uplifting even if it helped you to get the bad feelings out and purge. Probably my favorite male Group. Not one of our road trips or clubbing days went without playing some TKA from one way love scars of love, tears may fall, louder than love and all the others. TKA always got me and my friends going. At age 48 I got my first tattoo, and it has great meaning for a lot of reasons I will forever proudly wear that tattoo on my left shoulder next to the only other tattoo I ever got of a cardinal. The words in that song, not only represent phase and going through relationships, but to me hold special meaning for loss loved ones, including my best clubbing partner that passed away a couple years ago, and was disabled in an awful car accident and some of his lowest moments and some of my lowest moments, he could always call me up and refer to me as scars of love because he knew how important that song was to both of us. I will have the memories of him and my other former friends and our relationships and becoming adults through that patch on my shoulder as a constant reminder of how your music empowered us made us enthusiastic brought hope to our lives, but also helped us purge times of despair . I will always prefer the original group and their beats and lyrics however, I appreciate and respect this group for trying to keep the memories and the music and also add a modern twist to it. I really enjoyed them bringing it back to some old-school rap and talking about my hometown, knowing about the roots of music in the early 80s to the early 90s . Yes, I’m the guy that drove the white Thunderbird around and dressed in all those pimp suits back in the day with my wipers rocking back-and-forth and the car thumping to these beats. All grown up married with fam, but still playing that music of yesterday and even getting my kids to appreciate it.
