En Vogue - Funky Divas

Like the Supremes, En Vogue were the perfect mixture of fabrication and fabulousness. On their blockbuster second CD, the four women set the standards for female black pop. Blessed with killer vocals and a sizzling set of songs that married funk, rock, and slinky soul, Funky Divas remains the career highlight of a "girl group" that transcends the label. --Amy Linden Amazon.com

"Why oh why must it be this way..."

Funky Divas by En Vogue was a childhood favorite of mine. These four gals could definitely sang!! Songs like Giving Him Something He Can Feel, Free Your Mind, and My Lovin' (Never Gonna Get It) are some of the classics here. This album makes me feel nostaglic and happy, buy it for the memories. Enjoy! November 1, 2008

Is it possible to NOT like 80's hip-hop?

That IS a rhetorical question, by the way.

These ladies are so much fun to listen to! "You're Never Gonna Get It" brings me back to my childhood. The rhythms, the inserted rap (before profanity and the "N" word were requirements), the harmonies, the attitude. It makes you happy! Not their best album, but an excellent listen! August 14, 2008

Funky Divas

En Vogue's sophomore set definitely pushed their popularity into the stratosphere! After achieving great success in the r&b world with their debut, one song from this album FREE YOUR MIND, garnered heightened attention from the MTV crowd and exposed them to new audiences.

En Vogue definitely debuted at a time when there were no girl groups of note in r&b and their stunning 4 part harmonies upped the ante in the game and caused other record labels to scramble to try to find the right combination of young women to rival this group. This is a solid follow-up to their promising debut album and I'd highly recommend it.

Their covers of YESTERDAY, GIVIN HIM SOMETHING HE CAN FEEL & HOOKED ON YOUR LOVE are georgeous solely due to their ability to harmonize so well. My other favorites are the tracks that helped push this album into multi-platinum status:

MY LOVIN - YOU'RE NEVER GONNA GET IT - timeless classic that sounded like nothing on the radio at that time

GIVE IT UP, TURN IT LOOSE - another well constructed mid-tempo track

LOVE DON'T LOVE YOU

FREE YOUR MIND

THIS IS YOUR LIFE

En Vogue - Funky Divas

So I was inspired to buy this the other day because lately, I've just been craving some good ol' 90's R&B music, you know? I really wasn't expecting to like it as much as I do. Some songs go on a little too long and there were one or two songs I just didn't care for, like "Hip Hop Lover." But the rest is great and I really enjoyed it. These are some talented women and they can truly harmonize! Unlike another reviewer, I actually enjoyed the spoken word sections and I think they add a lot of personality to the disc. I especially love the little dictionary bit at the end of "What Is Love." I highly recommend this. April 8, 2007
