Hearing this album for the first time yesterday was like sticking a needle in my R&B Junkie vain and saying "here you go, oh yeah, doesn't that feel good?"
The album is a complete throwback to the 90s. What I love about it is that it doesn't try to do what all those 'comeback' groups try to do, which is update their sound to what's going on in the music scene. SWV played it smart; they stuck to their 90s R&B roots. Why? because they know people like you and I are going to reminisce and eat that shhhh right out of Coko's hands.
This album sounds like it could have been made right after their debut album 20 years ago (20 years ago? wow, that's scary. I never thought I would say I did something 20 YEARS AGO! SCARY!). My panic attack aside, if you liked their first album, download this one.
Two great moments in the album are when they incorporate Hi Five's "I like the way (kissing game)" and Jodeci's "Come and talk to me" lyrics in to 2 of their songs. If you don't know those songs, you are not a true junkie.
I guess that was my first review. If anyone is out there or cares, let me know your thoughts. :)
