Ohio Players are consummate party-starters, and Honey is an all-out funk rager that sizzles with sexiness. After setting the mood with the slow play of the title track, the album kicks into high gear with the bass-thumpin’ “Fopp.” Alternating between sassy growls and falsetto harmonies, they get “the whole house boppin’” to dizzying horn crescendos. “Sweet Sticky Thing” rolls up with percolating percussion and cool sax, leaving us primed for the timeless “Love Rollercoaster,” with its signature muted guitar skank and neck-snapping grooves.
