AllMusic

Dazz is a 1979 album by R&B band Kinsman Dazz released on 20th Century Records. The album reached No. 62 on the Billboard Top R&B Albums chart.

Overview

Artists such as Philip Bailey appeared upon the album.

The lead single, "Catchin' Up on Love" peaked at No. 33 on the Billboard Hot R&B Singles chart.

Critical reception

Andrew Hamilton of AllMusic found "Producer Philip Bailey couldn't help tossing in some Earth, Wind & Fire vibes and grooves...Nine songs, three more than 20th Century tacked on their debut (album), makes this more fulfilling than the first, but not by much."
