Sang babies! TLC, Xscape, Kut Klose, Brownstone...out of all the groups, these 3 girls were my favorite.....I loved their swag and most of all I loved their Music. Their first album was my favorite but I loved all of them. Coko's voice gave them that distinct and unique sound, but Lee lee and taj harmonies did too. Forever a fan, I still buy their music to this day.. MCE is my favorite track from the new album.

[@zeebo8965]

totally agree... MCE is a monster track.... was hoping for a video 🙁 i envisioned the ladies on a fabulous cruise liner performing all decked out in stunning black dresses with their hair up lookin good enough to eat and sittin at the tables are a star studded bevy of beauties... eg ti new edition boyz ii men ray j and the list goes on... wouldnt that just be the best video lol

[@zeebo8965]

Lol@Lelee comment, i thought the same thing when i watched this for the 1st time... i think if ms lyons was in a group like the staple sisters or pointer sisters she would of gotten more leads cos shes an old skool crooner... ive always wanted to hear her sing marys not gon cry and sades every word... she would sound soooo good😉

[@neillomarispringle4860]

Listen to the track "When This Feeling" on their 2nd album. Lelee sings the bridge and hits highs that sound like coko's lows. She has the widest range of the group but I think got lazy. If she had spent serious time working on developing her voice, she would be more prominent. And Taj's tone is so sweet. A distinct ringing sound like a light bell. No ONE in the industry sounds like Taj. That's a huge blessing to be so unique.

youre absolutely right cos i have an old interview with lelee on a cleveland radio show just after swv broke up and she was not happy... amoung other things she was pissed saying, why did the label wait until they split to release songs with her singing leads... surprise me and mystery (greatest hits simitar)
