From the States it was TLC followed by SWV.
But there was a French act called Native who trumps both of them. They're perhaps the only female R&B group from the '90s who are still in my steady rotation. Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

I agree,their first album is very good,but I never bought anything else from them. | |

I always wondered what happened to them. I love their album Couleurs de L'amour. Been gone for a minute, now I'm back with the jump off | |

The sisters broke up after Couleurs. Apparently there was not much amour between them. 
One sister, Laura, recorded a solo album in 2000 under the name Native, but it didn't sell so well. They dropped a Best Of CD in 2002, and that was the last I've personally heard of them. The other sister, Chris, apparently has done some collaborative work with various European jazz musicians. Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

People always talk about Les Nubians and I was like pffft. You haven't heard Native! Been gone for a minute, now I'm back with the jump off | |

Have you heard the stuff before Couleurs? No and now I'm curious. Is it any good? I used to look for them under Les Native. No wonder I couldn't find any info.

There's not much -- just a self-titled debut CD from 1993, and a live EP called Nat(l)ive from 1995. The debut CD has a bit more of a club feel than Couleurs, but it's pretty good. It also has an English-language cover of "Sometimes it Snows in April."  Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

It's somewhat more "in your face" here. I've liked French acts Native, Etienne Daho and  Francoise Hardy for a while, though. There's also a couple Quebecois singers I've followed for a bit named Corneille and Julie Crochetiere.Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

I agree,their first album is very good,but I never bought anything else from them. Really? They never matched the success of the debut, but they still managed to crank out quite a few hits ("You're the One," "Use Your Heart," "Someone," "Can We," "Rain")."Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |

Some stuff i noticed or bought back then :
 
"Krazy" is produced and co-written by Derek "D.O.A." Allen, the current bassplayer of Morris Day & the Time "90's Girl" contains the synthbassline from Cheryl Lynn's "Encore"  
Imo a very strong live-album with a solid band backing the ladies up, and they also honoured some classics on that live-recording These 2 clips below are my fave jams from their second studio-album : www.dailymotion.com/video...s-up_music www.dailymotion.com/ice19...c?from=rss Zhane has indeed recorded some great songs, especially "Crush", which has a wonderful vibe SWV's "Rain" & laidback clip  
This slowjam grooves on the sample of Whodini's "5 Minutes Of Funk" Allure Assorted Phlavors For Real Sista & Missy (lol) (Devante Swing's proteges) Pretty In Pink, including Indira Khan (Chaka's daughter, who sings the first verse in the video) Mokenstef-remix www.imeem.com/malibu555/m...ine_remix/ www.imeem.com/dsktpp/musi..._it_remix/ UK :
