CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com "We sellin' like Bon Jovi," Ronnie DeVoe drawls on BBD's "Scandalous." This is typical pop hype, but Bell Biv DeVoe should be happy their lyrics weren't screened by fact checkers. BBD (Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins, and DeVoe) hasn't clocked platinum units since their 1990 debut, Poison. Back then the trio, an offshoot of '80s superstar boy group New Edition, laced smooth harmonies to rugged beats and misogynist lyrics, making their first one of the best (and most widely imitated) R&B records of the era. After the moderately successful '93 follow-up, Hootie Mack, Bell Biv DeVoe are back, trying to appeal to an audience that's now saturated with thugged-out Romeos and has no idea how groundbreaking the trio was. Sadly, BBD does their legacy little good with this lackluster effort. Now in their 30s, Bell, Biv, and DeVoe still think the lady is a tramp, but while they once spit out their sex-you-ups with a bad-boy bite, new cuts like the thumping "Dance B----" just sound bitter. The vibe is better when the trio lets the love flow, as on the silky "I Ain't Going Nowhere," which proves BBD can still make the females swoon. --Amy Linden Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsBelieve it ! m4ceo | Belfast, Northern Ireland | 02/20/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "I sometimes think we expect too much from things. I must admit that I thought "Jackie Brown" was a poor follow up to "Pulp Fiction" and that the "Any Love" album was an OK follow up by Luther after "Give Me The Reason". Only when you take a step back, can you actually see things in their true light. Jackie Brown isnt poor and Any Love is a quiet storm "must have".
I nearly fell off my chair when I heard that BBD were dropping a new album. So many years have passed since "HootieMack", so many R&B developments have been made........ can you imagine the anticipation? Well upon hearing this new album, I was blown away. It's as simple as that. This album is HEWGE ! You can forget the slow "I Aint Goin Nowhere" cos the rest of the tracks are fast bangers. If an unknown group had debuted with this album, the world of R&B would be on their knees. Its certainly not an album to play in front of your lady but then again you wouldnt play a Maxwell album in your jeep with the boys ! This is strictly for the fella's. It's hard it's fast and it dont apologize for that. Believe it........... this is enorm ! In My Crib, Home Alone, Da Hot ... and Since I Blew are my top 4 bangers off a scorching set. Now as Raphael said..... get involved." |
