The group consists of 3 of
the most talented R+B aritsts in the game today. Raphael
Saadiq (Tony, Toni,
Tone)
Dawn
Robinson (Envogue) and Ali
Shaheed Muhammad (A Tribe
called Quest) form Lucy
Pearl, the new face in
American Rhythm and Blues and with this much talent in one room you
knew that you were in for something that's above ordinary.
The tracks on this set has
all the right ingredients: catchy hooks, sweet lil' basslines, good
flow in lyrics and not to mention the vocals of Raphael and Dawn.
This lead off single 'Dance
tonight' (which can be
found on the "Love and
Basketball"
soundtrack) is wonderfully produced by Raphael and Ali with Dawn's
pipes in high gear makes this song a hit with fans and radio
programmers alike. This track only scratches the surface of the whole
album as song after song seems to get better than the next. Trippin'
is a refreshing look into the relationship between lovers, 'Everyday
'gives you that moody
downtempo feel and 'Don't
mess with my man ' said
exactly that.... so don't.
Other notables includes 'Can't
stand your mother ',
the Rock
flavoured 'Hollywood ',
They can't
and what I personally think should be the next single 'LaLa
'.
