Mixerr Album Reviews #600

This is Michael Mixerr. Tonight I will review the Day & Night album by R&B duo Night & Day.

R&B duo Night & Day is Night (Gasner Hughes) and Day (Toney Martinez) from Flint, Michigan. Hughes is dark and sings the higher parts. Martinez is light and sings lower. Night & Day have been singing together for 15 years. they've appeared on internationally released albums by MC Breed, The Dayton Family, Jake the Flake, Imajin, Lyfe Jennings, Frankie J, Xzibit, and many more! Night & Day also appeared on The Dayton Family's "What's on Your Mind?" album from 1995. Night & Day were the soulful background vocals for The Dayton Family as well.
Today, R&B duo Night & Day can be heard contributing on the every occasional songs to film soundtracks and performing as background vocalists for various notable national acts.


Dante’s Girl tells the story of a man caught between temptation and loyalty when the girlfriend of his jailed best friend comes on to him for some advice of course. In fact, the song Dante's Girl was based on a real true story. A story of a situation that happened to Day (Toney Martinez).

What the Deal Be (Baby’s Daddy) is one of those baby mama/baby daddy songs. The singer finds out that his girlfriend is running around on him with other people and not just with anyone in particular. It’s everyone! She’s sleeping around with everyone and having sex.

Program is such a sweet song. The beats and soulful background really add emphasis to the entire song. It’s almost similar to a slow jam.

Night & Day explains Game Recognize Game that they’ve got game so you can’t run game on them. Game Recognize Game samples a portion of the composition I Don't Believe You Want To Get Up And Dance written by The Gap Band. Not too many musicians and artists sample compositions written by The Gap Band at all.

I Got You Faded is about how the singer got this girl faded by love the first time she saw him. Apparently he was that handsome. The singer got the girl so high that he got her faded. No, I Got You Faded is not a drug ballad contrary to popular beliefs despite of what others may say about their music and this ballad song.


I really hate that Night & Day were very overlooked as an R&B powerhouse back in the day! The music industry and mainstream news media did not really recognize their gifts and potential as an R&B duo. Night & Day had lead a charmed life.
I rate this album, Day & Night, 5/5*****!
