Up Front (freestyle band)

History
An early example of the New York Electro sound, "Infatuation" was one of the earliest influences of what would become known as freestyle; the tempo of this song is 122 beats per minute. Infatuation was written and produced by Eddie Colon and Fred Zarr with lyrics by W.Negron. The song was an NYC summer anthem and received heavy rotation on both New York and Miami Radio and clubs. Infatuation was a particular favorite at the Funhouse where DJ John "Jellybean" Benitez, who actually "broke" the track, rocked the house.
