Swoop - The Woxo Principle
Review by Jeff Stewart
The Woxo Principle by Swoop is a remarkable album that showcases the artist's versatility and musical prowess. From start to finish, Swoop delivers a captivating performance that blends elements of hip-hop, R&B, and soul to create a unique and refreshing sound.
The album features 11 tracks, each with its own distinct vibe and style. Swoop's lyrical prowess is on full display throughout the album, as he effortlessly weaves together clever wordplay and insightful commentary on a range of topics, from love and relationships to social justice and personal growth.
One standout track is "Giants," a powerful anthem that encourages listeners to embrace their inner strength and overcome any obstacles in their path. The song features a soaring chorus and a driving beat that will have listeners nodding their heads in agreement.
Another standout track is "Hall of Fame," a soulful ballad that showcases Swoop's impressive vocal range and emotive delivery. The song is a powerful tribute to the people who have supported and inspired him throughout his career.

About Swoop
Australian funk pop band from Sydney entered the Australian music scene in 1993.
Formed by childhood friends Roland Kapferer (vocals) and Joshua Beagley (guitar), SWOOP took their hybrid of rock, rap, 1970s streetfunk and pop sensibility to the pubs, clubs, festivals and TV screens through the 1990s.
Nominated for a Best New Talent ARIA in 1995, SWOOP had mainstream commercial success with the release of their second album "The Woxo Principle".
In 1996, "Apple Eyes" was the highest played Australian song in the charts, and also reached No.3 in the highly competitive Japanese charts. In the same year, the song and video were nominated for an ARIA, as was "The Woxo Principle" for Album of the Year.
SWOOP toured Japan on the back of the chart success with Apple Eyes, and also had chart success in Indonesia before taking a long hiatus and re-emerging with a new lineup, a new single ("Blood Runs Hot") and a new album called "Be What You Is." Record company disagreements delayed the release of this album until early 1998, by which time SWOOP's momentum was lost. Frustrated by the album's lack of success and lack of record company support, most members of SWOOP moved on to new projects, including Professor Groove and The Booty Affair.
