Troop’s Homecoming EP, released in May 1996 on Noom Records, distills the group’s signature blend of new jack swing and quiet storm into a concise three-track offering. The title track, presented here in its original form, showcases the smooth vocal interplay and polished production emblematic of mid-90s R&B, while the additional cuts sustain the mellow yet rhythmic atmosphere.Though modest in footprint and audience—garnering just over a hundred listeners on Last.fm—the EP stands as a subtle artifact of Troop’s ongoing engagement with the soul lineage that shaped their sound through the 1980s and beyond. Its restrained palette and measured grooves evoke the era’s transition from the exuberance of new jack swing to the more contemplative mood of quiet storm.
