I love the first SWV album 'It's About Time'.Remember jams like "I'm So Into You","Weak","You're Always On My Mind" and "Right Here"? Played that CD to death back in 92/93! Last I heard,the girls were back in the studio,recording a new album.Has anyone heard any updates?

I also liked the first album by Jade.And EnVogue's second CD 'Funky Divas' is an early-90s classic.

There was another girl group called For Real.

For Real had one good track that I liked, Like I Do. There was a remix of it that benefited from a sample by the SOS Band. Good song! I really don't think a good portion of the 90's vocal groups (male or female) were really memorable. I think most of them had a decent cut here and there, but on the whole they didn't do much for me. I must admit to having a soft spot for the trashiness of Total, but in the long run the only ones that did anything for me were En Vogue and SWV.

RipHer2Shreds said:

I agree. I have tons of albums by many of the artists listed above, some of them I still put on, but most of them I hardly listen to nowadays.. but En Vogue stand out here over the rest... they had style and class... in many ways... so I won't do a complete ranking here, but EnVogue would defintely be my No.1 here

RipHer2Shreds said:

yep I remember that one too I also liked "Good Morning Sunshine", that one sampled/borrowed heavily from Young Holt Unlimited "Soulful strut"... and this is enuff to do the trick for me!

I like these groups, but for these songs only...


Brownstone -- If You Love Me

En Vogue -- Don't Go

Mokenstef -- He's Mine


I really like those songs

Total:

Kissin U

Do U Think About Us

Trippin

I Tried

Sittin Here


them were the CUTS.


Lil trivia. Their first album has the ONLY rapping collaboration between Foxy Brown & Lil Kim.

I'm hoping for an SWV reunion. That first album was amazing!

Nuttin' Nyce: remember "Froggy Style"? LOL

Cleopatra "FRESH NEW TALENTS HERE" yeah the girls jumpin on the beds in the video lol

"Lately" used to be the song.

I've known Nikki of Divine since she was a little girl - we attended the same church and sang on the choir together. Saw her about three months ago. She was with her fiance. She said that the group just sort of fizzled out - they never actually broke up. Record company issues and stuff. She doesn't really sing much anymore. I wanted her to sing on some of my material but she moved out of Jersey - her job was moving. She's still gorgeous and the nicest person you could meet. She always could sing - it was such a surprise, though - one day she just let the voice rip at choir rehearsal and we were like - whoa

Don't know what happened to the other girls...

What about that run-of-the-mill group Voices? They had a "hit" with "Yeah Yeah Yeah" back in 1992 or so.











































What the fuck is Pink Floyd doing on this thread?

She's currently dating Sisqo.

Personally, I thought she looked like a man. I believe she lives someplace in Ireland.

I LOVE all of Total's hits, and loved them in LL's "Loungin'" remix. That was the greatest song!

En Vogue is great, doesn't even need to be said when mentioning girl groups.

TLC is my favorite girl group of all-time, hands down.

I loved Kut Klose in Keith Sweat's "Twisted"

Jade's "Don't Walk Away", LOVE it!

I want SWV back!

paisleypark4 said:

loveeeee TOTAL!!!!

SWV
Jade

I remember that one group ex-girlfriend

xscape....

hell...ya'll named them all....

What about Sista? Missy Elliot's old group, producers DeVante Swing & Timbaland. I still listen to their cd till this day. Underrated.

jazzgotsoul said:

But it wasn't released

Soulchild82 said:

I never llked that chick.

I LOVE SWV'S WEAK.

That song takes me back to the days of afterschool specials and now-laters (Now & Laters) HAHAHAH!!!!!

I heard one of the girls from Divine was working for Allstate.

Also, on an unrelated note, my brother saw Kiree (sp?) of the Boys. He has some workaday job somewhere in LA.

I have it..

Sweet N' Lo: Thank you...I've been trying to think of the name of the group that had that song gimme that 40 dawg...I remember the video so clearly but for the life of me I could'nt think of the song, I knew it was two girls and I remember one girl rapping. I bought the single when it came out years ago. I did'nt feel like going through all my cd's to find it (i'm currently putting my collection in some type of order).

Pretty in Pink: Chaka Khan's daughter was in this group (the one with the long braids). I bought the CD when it came out for "All About You". I must say that she did not inherit her mother's powerful/soulful pipes. The voice may have matured for the better over the years but I doubt it.

Pure Soul: I used to love their song "We Must Be In Love".

Teri and Monica which were The Gyrlz minus one member used to sing back up for Al B. Sure and Al B. sure and his cousin Kyle West put their album together. If It's Games You're Playing" was my song.

Where in the hell is Zhane, Brownstone and Jade???
