I came across this one just lately. Never had I heard anything from or about about these girls. And boy, the surprise was HUGE. How can it be that an album filled with wonderful R&B jams like that didn't chart and went down completely unnoticed? Seriously! This sounds so well baked and still fresh. Check the clips. R&B revival here I come - will be playing it this saturday for sure...
