[@brianneparker9896]

They were definitely making a statement with this song, but they are R&B.

[@karikells]

Yes! I think it's perfect that the genre is a bit different cuz we really had to "free our minds" from pigeon-holing them.

[@JennyofOldStones713]

Yes, R&B, but with a little pop too! They were one of my favorites from the 90s!

[@ladyfatass7470]

Who cares of they were (are) R'n'B

[@carolineneisha]

What I loved about them is they were the “funky” divas - always playing with form, content, presentation, and always on point!

[@SilvanaDil]

En Vogue was the bomb. They were deliberately assembled to be a killer group, and they were. ("Hold On," "My Lovin'" and "Don't Let Go" are more R 'n' B.)

[@WolfsDE]

All of this....this is what you need to react in terms of En Vogue.

[@karikells]

Destiny's Child is an En Vogue knock off, if ya ask me. I like DC & have several of their albums, but En Vogue paved the way!

[@stephsoares510]

Yes, do "Hold on" please!

[@davidwalker683]

Great group. Underrated... this is way before destiny’s child.

[@kishad1542]

They weren't underrated. The led in their day

[@purpledragonfly313]

Not at all underrated. They were on top and broke the mold 🥰

[@roberthughes2402]

And they were waaaaay better.

[@vanjalavoie550]

Some time as TLC.

[@jwalk31]

dude, they were not underrated. They had 3 #1 albums. A ton of hits. Maybe some people NOW forgot how good they were, but were never underrated.

[@lhuntley4577]

This is where Gen X's heads were at in the early 90s.

[@mogznwaz]

So true. Gen X grew up post MLK Jr and we believe in the principle of judging on individual merit. Skin colour was unimportant, we all loved each other's music and that was cool. I was into Martin Gaye, Prince, Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy, Blur, Nirvana, Crowded House, Portishead, Sheryl Crow and dance music. A bit eclectic. The 90s ruled.

[@jp3813]

@@mogznwaz Never generalize. Not all Gen Xers were open-minded. That's why songs like these existed to address that issue.

Good thing too, because this is what Millennials like me grew up on.

"Giving Him Something He Can Feel" is a classic RnB song covered by En Vogue, and also sung by Aretha Franklin. You should check it out, you'd enjoy it.

Such a great tune

Yes please! My favorite English Vogue song.

[@Pamela-Lynne]

My FAVORITE lyric in this song is "FREE YOUR MIND, THE REST WILL FOLLOW. BE COLORBLIND. DON'T BE SO SHALLOW" !!!!!!! Perfect

[@kev7161]

This song is a variation of the phrase: "Don't judge a book by its cover."

[@philrob1978]

"Before you can read me, you've got to learn how to see me" Amazing lyric - love them, inspirational stuff,

[@kelliewhyte_85]

AKA Never judge a book by the cover.

[@ecj17cel]

They are R&B..but this song had a rock vibe. I loved all their music.

[@shirleyjones9460]

Me too. They had some awesome music!

[@Marc-zi5cq]

I love when people in the 90s mixed R&B/Soul with Rock/ Metal. En Vogue were great at this but also Michael in Give In To Me, Dirty Diana, Scream etc.

[@kelliewhyte_85]

Thank you very much

[@Yooperbuzz1]

Some music producers put out a call for "Divas" hoping to find 1. They found 4 and created En Vogue.

[@BAMOORE94]

They are an R&B group.. they’re kind of the blue print for 90’s girl groups. Each one can be lead. They sing very well, they dance a little.

[@someoldatheist6712]

I remember when this song came out. Beautiful girls singing a catchy toon that has an incredible message. How can anyone not like this song.?

[@meganferraro8145]

En Vogue did a collaboration with Salt N Peppa called "Whatta man" great song

[@jenniferkasowicz9463]

Never Gonna Get It... some of their most badass harmonies.

[@salster4891]

'Don't let go' was my favourite en vogue song, good group

[@Krista2882]

SAME

[@richardwani2803]

Agreed 👍

[@ksay6950]

Yes and please react to the second version of the music video, the one with Mekhi Phifer

[@anitapaulus937]

This was one of my daughters favorite groups when she was a teenager, she’s 36 now. I think you would be surprised how many of us don’t even think about race and color until someone starts bringing it up. I am from a poor family, we had nothing. We treated everyone as brothers and sisters. Still do.

[@GeekGinger]

En Vogue was normally an R&B group but I agree that this one was straight up rock.

[@toxicginger9936]

Rock with R&B flairs laced all throughout. They are just so fricken good that they can cross genre and it works. **chefs kiss**

[@etc7070]

My fave R&B group of the '90s! "Free Your Mind" was their foray into rock (I think Janet Jackson's "Black Cat" came out around the same time? which I loved as well). A friend of mine in school turned me on to them with their first hit "Hold On." But I think my ultimate favorite song of theirs is "Never Gonna Get It." You want those '90s R&B harmonies, they had it.

[@audiochicky]

Black Cat was a few years earlier, but it was definitely an influence, no question!

[@RinniePere]

Yes! Looove never gonna get it! That breakdown is sick!

[@sleepbananas]

You should check out "Tennessee" by Arrested Development

[@shirleyjones9460]

Yes! 👍

[@brt5273]

Love these ladies. Now please do "Giving Him Something He Can Feel" so we can all melt into a warm puddle

[@jamtalawah2231]

Yes Jay would love to see you react to this........So pls play it sometime.

[@ericbogerd5306]

This is probably their most 'Rock' song, whether you call them R&B, Pop, Rock, whatever, they're about the harmonies. Try 'Whatta Man' with En Vogue and Salt 'N Pepa.

[@christopherscorner]

Don’t you all just love when JV gets caught off guard? Sometimes R&B music and have a rock edge. Most of en vogue’s music is nothing like this.

[@ruuuuudiii]

The rest of their stuff is a lot more mellow, but this one is straight fire.

[@mdunn4555]

If you like this genre, Jay, give Lenny Kravitz a try. You may also dig him.

[@stephanietaylor6155]

Yes!

[@corsie3781]

I love Lenny Kravitz!

[@ericp8428]

[@pp36]

They were an R&B/Pop group that pre dates Destiney’s Child. They just happened to rock out on this song, the same way Janet Jackson did with Black Cat. As a four-part harmony group, they were distinctive and incredibly talented. Listen to Hold On and Don’t Let Go.

[@NativeNYerChicHK]

This, even just badass itself, was a departure of their usual absolutely phenomenal R&B hits, these ladies are ULTRA talented!!

[@opalviking]

I proudly sashayed across my living room while belting this song every time the video played! What a great flashback- thanks for that!

[@GinaGeeILuvu]

En Vogue was one of the top groups of the nineties! They had a string of R&B hits! All four women have amazing voices and all took turns lead singing! I love this song because they switched it up and rocked out!❤️❤️

Their songs Hold On and Don't Let Go sound more R&B. If you haven't heard them yet, I encourage you to do so. This song was meant to be catchy in order to get people's attention about the message.

They are RnB but since the song is about prejudice they “rocked” it out.
