The Original 7ven - Condensate

Today Marks The 14th Anniversary of The Original 7ven’s Studio Album “Condensate” Originally Released on October 18, 2011.

“Condensate” is the fifth studio album by the American funk ensemble The Original 7ven, formerly known as The Time released in 2011 on Saguaro Road Records.

The album peaked at #10 on the U.S. Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, and at #58 on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart.

The album marked the first new release in 21 years from the original members of The Time, operating under the new name The Original 7ven.

Despite the marketing challenges of the name change, the album was a long-awaited and well-received "dream come true" for fans, featuring the core members' original magic and a sound that was both familiar and fresh, with tracks like "#Trendin'" and "Lifestyle" highlighted for their blend of humor, lust, and contemporary elements like Auto-Tune. 

The album was produced by Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis and Jesse Johnson.
