Album Spotlight: SWV - New Beginning

-
I remember when my friend bought SWV's "New Beginning" album which was released in 1996. At the time cassettes were still popular. I was on my way home from school and my friend at the time met up with me. He gushed to me about the album and I wish I had it. I knew as soon as I got some money I was going to get it myself. I don't even remember ever buying the album though. I think because my sister eventually got it so I felt no need. Since basically her albums were mine too or at least that's how I acted.

It had been four long years since SWV had released their debut album; "It's About Time". So SWV had a lot to prove with this new album and they did just that. The album was led by the first hit single; "Your The One". It was followed by The Neptunes produced; "Use Your Heart"(which is one of my favorites).

"New Beginning" didn't quite live up to the success of their debut "It's About Time" so in 1997 SWV released another album; "Release Some Tension" which featured a lot of rappers. I think the quick follow up was a bid to make up for lost time and keep the momentum going within the group.

Still "New Beginning" is a very fine album from SWV. It features a lot uptempo tracks and a lot of slow tracks. It's definitely a wide mix of different songs and would be greatly appreciated by anyone who particularly likes girl groups. Lead singer; Coko doesn't even do all the leads here. The other members Taj and LeLee also sing a lot of the parts in the songs so that is a plus. If you haven't checked this album out yet; what are you waiting for?

You all, my readers, my visitors; my supporters; you have made this post one of the most successful posts on my blog. I kept wondering what it was about this post, that made it so successful; one word: JANET! The fact that Janet has new music on the way makes this post even more of a hot topic. As its been said before, no one sings about sex quite like Janet Jackson. Her songs, ooze with the right amount of sexuality perfect for a night of steamy sex. Take a look back at a number of songs Janet is responsible for delivering her in trademark breathy delivery. I took the liberty of adding a few other songs that didn't make the list before.  "Warmth" This song begins with echos of Janet saying "...in my mouth". By then you should already know what this song is about. Janet sings about the "warmth" of her mouth and how she pleases her lover; Jermaine Dupri at the time. This is a very sensual song and it is one of the most explicit Janet has ever record...
