SWV released their first album in 15 years entitled 'I Missed Us', but apparently nobody missed them...
'I Missed Us' sold a measly 14k copies first week, landing SWV at number 24 on the Billboard chart.
And in case you were wondering Monica's New Life slipped down from number 5 to number 15 in its second week, suffering a 70% drop in sales.

Yeah that ship has sailed... Kinda sad. I remember when they first came out. Their sound was great. Brian Morgan was a great songwriter/producer and he could SANG!
It's the agenda hard at work. I blame the Illuminati for dis shyt!
p.s. I didn't even know they had an album coming out. oops.
Oh it's out? Sorry I have to hear something first. I love them like a 3rd cousin but they got to put the work in like everybody else.
@2:17 PM @I love them like a 3rd cousin
*Dead*
i liked Co sign but i have to admit, I didnt bother buying the album
The album is is actually good. Much better than a lot of other albums out right now...
Guess niggas spent their free money on Think Like a Man instead.
They should've promo'd this a little harder cause I didn't even know this shit was out.
I actually brought the CD and it is really good! Number 3, 12,6,7 and 13 are my jams. I went to the local Best Buy and brought the last copy. I asked the sales guy how many were shipped and he claimed he didn't know. I think it is a situation of not enough CD shipped verse nobody really missing them. #IJUSTSAYING
^^ agree with that.
I have to hear it on the radio first as I don't want to spend my money on a CD where I would only like 1 or 2 songs.
Folk get so wrapped up in this stuff they call music now, some R&B artist of the past don't have a chance.
I saw them perform live years ago along with several other groups on the roster! They were booed! They sucked live! I however will listen to this CD and hopefully they will make a comeback! Since that was long ago!

Which one is married to Eddie George?
Which one had to eat pussy to pay her rent?
Which one is saved-sanctified-and fill with the Holy Ghost?
They kould have at least properly promoted themselves. Nobody knew this was out, komming out, or at least i didnt but ive boycotted the radio stations for the time being. So maybe they promoted it on there and i missed it..
Baby Savage ALBUM RELEASE PARTy SHREVEPORT,LA 9:30 Club STATUS guest appearances LIL FLIP, CHALIEBOY, CHOPPA, KOMPOSURE SLIM, YOUNG BLEED, MR. AYE BAY BAY & many more...
I bought the CD the other day and like some previous posts stated, it is really good. The low sales could be because people didn't know that they had released a new CD. I didn't even know until someone mentioned it to me.
Heffas look like they went to the club Saturday nignt and then took their hung over asses to church the following Sunday morning with their stank breathes and all.
@2:25 that was the ONLY copy at Bye Buy....
when Destiny's Child album coming out?
Ok so 14,000 copies sold. Don't expect the album to do good. If u buy it and enjoy it good. But they aren't going to have as large of an audience as they used to... They will have to join other R&B acts that spark nostalgia for a faithful few, but don't appeal to the masses. Point blank
Who are these manly heffas?
@2:36 No it wasn't the only copy I brought the LAST one the day it came out. I was supposed to get on for my co-worker and had the sales guy look it up to see if they had anymore at the other stores. He said they only had TWO left at the other store. That is why I'm saying they didn't ship out enough because this happen to me on Tuesday (the day the CD came out).
Of course their album didn't sell. They're actually talented; not a gimmick like the Black music artists of today.
How come all of them look like line backers. Did anybody exercise before the picture was taken? I know they knew that it was being done...cause they had been in the studio making this album. I'm Just Saying!!!
14,000 copies = $140,000/3 bitches = $46,000
manager fees, wardrobe, album fees, all that shit equals no money made
Which one is married to Eddie George?
Which one had to eat pussy to pay her rent?
Which one is saved-sanctified-and fill with the Holy Ghost?
************
The one on the left is, or was, married to Eddie George.
The one in the middle is saved.
The one on the right is the one who told S2S a while back that she did lesbian parties or some shit to make ends meet.
@2:43 yeah that's another thing. They gained ALOT of weight over the years an they are either too lazy, undisciplined, or simply don't care enough to get back in decent shape. I don't expect them to be rail thin, but at least lose SOME weight... They were never the best to look at anyways so this day and age they don't stand a chance! Shame but true... I always liked their songs over the years but no don't expect an epic comeback... But yeah they could use some Zumba.
The only promotion was on the Wendy Williams Show and radio. Today you need a reality show (network or internet), magazines and hit morning shows with live performances.
^^^
Lmao! These comments...wow
The cd wasn't that great. I had already set my mind, weeks ago, that I would support their album. However, there are only like, 2-3 songs, tops, that are good. The best song on the album is "Love Unconditionally". The problem is, they tried too hard to pander to the young crowd, instead of making grown music. People remember SWV from hits like "Anytime", "Downtown", "Weak", etc., they should have stuck to that format, and only made adult contemporary music. It's a shame, cause I had high hopes for them. *sigh*
Also.....this new album has all 3 of them singing lead....bad...BAD...idea lmao...there's a reason why Coko should have REMAINED the lead vocalist. Some of the vocals were pitchy and all out of tone...oh my lord...it was hard to get thru some of the screeching
They had an album out? Oh I see.
@2:25 I was in that same Best Buy that only had that one copy left, but I took my hard earned money and bought the best of the Chipmunks instead!
@2:54 I agree that they should have limited everyones lead vocal besides Coko but they went in on #3 (show off) and #5 (do you) where Coko sang the whole song.
@2:57...how old are you? *blank stare*
I have every intention of buying it--- i think that they pushed it out toO soon they just started airing the co-sign video so they shld have let that circulate and maybe put another single out like a ballad before releasing ...Monica shld have done the same her's came out too soon sn: i didn't know it was out either
You can buy it on iTunes for $9.99, or $1.29 for the singles:

Album Review
I Missed Us doesn't sound like the work of a group that went 15 years without releasing a studio album. For their first proper studio set since 1997's Release Some Tension, SWV signed with eOne and worked extensively with Cainon Lamb (aka Lamb)...Lamb wrote and produced the album's first nine songs; he seems to have approached the women as if they don't have a history and have no expectations beyond delivering a high-quality 2012 R&B album. What throwback twists exist — like the Bob James sample in "All About You" and the use of Rufus & Chaka Khan's disco-funk classic "Do You Love What You Feel" in "Do Ya" — have nothing to do with attempting to relive SWV's past. In fact, the only aspect that resembles the past is the women's voices. There are some impeccable arrangements, best heard on the confrontational and seductive "Better Than I" (also a trunk rattler) and the theatrical ballad "Keep You Home." The four songs with other collaborators almost seem like bonus tracks, given the strength of the 34-minute Lamb portion, but they don't sound all that out of place. A stormy cover of Patti LaBelle's hit 1983 ballad "If Only You Knew" puts an exclamation point on one of the best comeback albums of the last decade.
As far as people supporting Think Like a Man and not this CD, the movie was HEAVILY promoted. This CD was not.
The end.
@2:57 LOL! Get yo money back though!
@2:24PM
Yes, it's HOT. I got it via iTunes & I must say it has 90s vibe with great harmony among them all with bad vocal talent.
The album will get air play, their marketing team sucked by being so secretive with fear of peeps stealing and downloading for free. The album is on FIRE.
I fukk with SWV actually, I did miss them...but somebody in the promotions department missed "THAT" MEMO about their CD dropping...however, truthfully I probably would have only been number 14,001 tho...sad, but true.
#MightNeedToCheckItOut
#WhereDaFukkIzBobbyValentino!!?
#AndPleasure!!??
#AndGenuwine!!??
That's because their old school talent like Monica and these 90s babies ain't into that kind of music nowadays.
@2:57pm you don't know what you're talking about, the CD was not catering specifically to a "Younger" demographic at all. The album is great actually! They stayed true to their roots but without it sounding stale and outdated; it was like a "love letter" to the 90's. They are clearly reaching out to their core fans that supported them in the 90's and the kids who's grownups exposed them to their music when they were young. If they were really trying to reach kids from these days it would have been on some crazy electro-dance-house ish, but it wasn't...not even a little bit.
Yes I have to admit that the CD was not promoted amazingly especially considering that the "Co-Sign" single was released on iTunes last December. I bought mine on iTunes first day out, so the excuse and dissing them for not having enough copies in Best Buy is bullsh1t considering hardly anyone buys physical copies of CD anymore. But even with that being said, I do like Physical copies too so when I went on Target.com to buy the Target exclusive bonus tracek version in addition to the iTunes copy i bought, it was actually sold out, so they must be doing something right. The reality is that they are now indie artists and Promotion is expensive and sometimes tough to get these days, But hey, it's not like they gonna stop selling the damn CD so whether they go platinum in a week or over a few months, word of mouth can do wonders just like it has for Adele(not that I'm comparing them to her project for project). They deserve the right as anyone else to release music and continue to work. Black People need to just stop downloading illegally and start paying for sh1t.
....and by the way I ALSO went to see "think like a Man" first weekend out.
The should have renamed the Group
SGW (Sisters Gained Weight)
We can't deny their talent + popularity back in the day. I'll always ride for these girls. Got their new album and it's good, in my opinion. #SWV #NEWJACKSWING
Hoodrat lmao
RNB - lmao that's fucked up
These musicians tryna catch fame of yesteryear betta learn to get on that twitter hoe-stroll cuz these young listeners do not know yo ass..
Of course nobody missed them! They were never relevant to begin with! How dumb are these broads to even attempt to put out an album when real music lovers are eagerly awaiting King Bey's next album. That is the only upcoming release that matters.
How come all of them look like line backers.
**FOUL
I didn't know the album dropped. I have to admit these ladies need to step their game ALL the way up. How you looking old and bloated while staging a comeback? You have b*tches performing in onsies and bathing suits these days. B*tches are not playing and the game is not the same.
Co-sign w/ Bee Gee
They definitely need to build up a following with the younger generation.
Their weight has NOTHING to do with their talents. You motherfuckers are shallow as HELL.
Anybody hating on SWV on this post is in deep denial, knowing damn well, we ALL were cuttin' a rug to "Anything", "I'm So Into You", "You're The One", "Right Here", etc.
FUCK the younger generation. They have NO taste in music, which is why we have retards like Rihanna, Katy Perry and Nicki Minaj being regarded as "legends". I'm not surprised this album tanked: the talented ones are always underrated.
I hear you @4:14 but you have to play by the rules in this game. The rules dictate that female singers be sexy. It's very much about image these days, so they need to step their game up if they want visibility and successful careers. Yes it's extremely shallow but that's the way it is.
The album is excellent. Therefore, it's getting slept on.
"Do Ya" is a summertime jam track---I wouldn't count them out on this one AT ALL.
I use to like SWV back in the day. I was never one who purchase their work but it was good productions and my mother met them while one of the girls mother was sick back in 90's and they are good people. They are on an independent label so dynamic sales would be the exception to the rule but hopefully, they can get on the road and tour and make some money. Sade is one of the few artist who can stay gone them comeback and clean house.
I got the CD!Love track # 3. I think it wasn't promoted enough. @ 2:57 you dead wrong! You trying to say CoKo sounds like the Chipmunks?
Snitch instead of dragging on them you could use your medium to get your regs to support them. I doubt ill buy the album but if I like any songs I'll buy them separately.
SWV. Sister's Without their daily Vitamins !
Their weight has NOTHING to do with their talents. You motherfuckers are shallow as HELL.

____________________________________________
Bullshit. Back when they were singing those songs they all looked good in the fact that we admired them. They were the cool chicks with the cool voices. Now they all somebody's mama, the younger generation can't relate to that. Image has always mattered contrary to popular belief.
@5:07 you are speaking the truth about the industry! Look at how C and C Music Factory and Blackbox used the hell outta Martha Wash and pretended with their groups it was a slender chick belting out them vocals!
Thank you, 5:07 and for the record, I never liked them ugly heffas or their music. Never liked them, Jade, exscape. Liked Total, Brownstone, Envogue but never these troll-monkey hoes.
Also somebody said in order for women to make it in the music industry, women have to want to be you and men want to sleep with you. Back in the day we looked up to SWV because they were around the way chicks. Today they aren't.
See, they should have did this shit when Taj's show "I married a Baller" was out! They act like they couldn't get their shit together and now this new album??? WTF...Who knew this shit was gonna happen, just bam we back out, it don't work like that. The economy is bad and you have to prep us for your shit don't just spring stuff out on us, cause SWV is the ones that gets the suprise. That Co-sign sounds just like their music from 1992!!!
I had no idea they had a album coming out until yesterday after reading about it on a blog. Downloaded on iTunes--can be listened to from beginning to end without skipping songs. Glad to hear some real R & B.
I for one LOVE SWV. Remember that song Rain? That was my jam...
But first of all no body told me about this new album...if i hadn't read this post today I woulda never known. And secondly, I don't buy CDs anymore...I might buy a song or two off itunes. Why buy the whole album if you only like 2 or 3 of the songs?
their promo team needed to get ads on c+d, necole bitchie, kid fury, RWS, afrobella and soulbounce....you know, blogs that cater to their type of fans!
The music industry has terrible producers, even worse music execs. Many artists are not being promoted properly or provided the right material. Unless you are in the minor 10% of artists with marketing genius teams and who are also smart in promoting themselves. SWV, Monica were not promoted with proper release or material to work with. People will not buy if you don't sell. The whole music industry is a mess. They only promote the same retread dance beats, artists. If the industry was smart, they'd do like Disney and clean house of every producer, CEO and start over.
As for their weight or look, if Adele can sell millions than the whole ”have to have a sexy image” does not always hold true. But, again she had a genius marketing team, mega promotion and old school producers.
@yALL They did promote themselves , what was the gosssip about one of them hubby. Thats promotion now adays!! I forgot the gossip and them. When will the record companies realize downloading free music is in and folks are not running in the stores to buy, if they can download FREE.
@Komposure slim
Nobody is checking for you Kountry bamas. We just don't give a shit asshole.
Looking at this blog is one of the MAIN reasons that I don't deal with KNEE GROWS on a continual basis. Hateful as heck and critical about everything.
I'll take SWV over ANY of this other crap that I automatically turn the channel on..let's see Rihanna walking around on stage with a bathing suit killing my eardrums, or SWV singing in harmony with all of their clothes on..I PRAY for the day when real talent is a prerequisite for success because I'm tired of seeing people's backsides.
Love love SWV!

7:24 PM
5:07 here, I didn't say they have to be "sexy", but decent looking where people admire you. Adele is the underdog right now, everybody loves the underdog, shes selling off pure hype these days. As for SWV, their new album is meh, i'll continue to listen to the old shit. As for Rihanna, there's always been room for the sex kitten, where have you been?
Oop, that Rihanna bit was for 7:56pm
@5:07 you are speaking the truth about the industry! Look at how C and C Music Factory and Blackbox used the hell outta Martha Wash and pretended with their groups it was a slender chick belting out them vocals!
5:14 PM
Exactly! And that bitch looked like a man too! She was thin and had long hair though so it didn't matter *blank stare*
nobody knew of their album dropping !!! thats why the PTB don't want nobody of old skool coming back cause it'll take alot of money from their satanic artist they invested money in!!! also taj and leelee needs to accept that they can harmonize and thats it,coco was meant to be lead and they need to step aside and let her carry the lead,as for best buy they did the samething to chris brown actually they had alot of his cd's in the back of the store and wouldn't put it out cause it was sold well. oh my bad,it was walmart,an associate of walmart hit breezy up on twitter and told him that the store got a memo from corporate not to put out to much of his cd's and he investigated and sure enough they was blackballing him,so,SWV not selling has nothing to do with the young generation cause its not the youngsters with the money,its deeper than that!!! they're not selling high on the rnb charts cause they didn't sell out to the baphomet which is why they're not allowed to be great on the inside. i say tour small venues in the states and abroad and have a trusted friend or family member sell the albums at the shows,its always away to defeat the devil,don't have to run from that chump!!!
No promotion=no sales! and I've never been a SWV fan anyway...
@9:19
You speak truth
those are three ugly mens.
u can sell 14K and still land at the number 24 spot on bilboard? damn, the record industry is really hurting...
This IS the promotions!!! blogs about them NOT being promoted is what's gonna increase the sales
Well damn I didn't know that they was out.
In the words of Biggie Smalls "Fuck All You Hoes". Those women can sing! Fat, skinny, bloated, whatever. We black people are on the bottom of every race on this planet for a reason. How can we not love and protect our older experienced artist. Artist that have proved themselves already. Patti, Gladys, Anita, Aretha, Tina and Chaka would not have lasted as long as they have if my generation didn't have respect for them. These negative comments show that this new generation ain't shit, and won't be shit ever.
Besides they're on a independent label, so whatever they sell will make into their pockets a whole lot faster.
SWV still sounds great and I like the fact that they all sing lead. All you people that think they need to show ass to sell records, I bet your young teenage daughters are the neighborhood cum buckets. Blacks don't have a legacy to look up to anymore. Slut for daughters and faggot sons running around with their too tight pants sagging.
My generation were able to look at artist act like ladies and gentleman regardless to how they lived their lives off stage. You retarded bastards don't even have that. Your role models are plastic surgery having porn stars/singers.
Um no one said weight had anything to do with talent however these days talent has almost nothing to do with album sales. Plus to add to which their new song ain't that hot. Sounds more like a filler than a single to me..
I didn't know it was out I will be buying it this weekend. I love their new song
they all need to lose 30 lbs before they can be taken seriously again.
I don't care how fat they get. These ladies can sin. Hell Aretha was humongous for years. That didn't stop her fans from loving her. Lolll you guys are idiots.
in this day & age image is err'thing and FAT is whack.. I don't wanna see not fat greasy entertainers on stage!!!! and why all the GLORIOUSLY fat women are now loosing weight? like Aretha and Chaka .. please you ain't got to be fkkn skinny/bony, but get yo fat asses of the stage huffn & puffn
First of all swv is indie now you tell me what indie artist is lands on the billboard top 200 and also makes top 10 r&b charts. They done very well with lack of promotion. Second of all if you know. Anything about indie sale 20k=200k majors, so that ain't bad 4 them . And as far as weight goes they have lost so much weight since that picb was taken last yr by D blanks y'all are so ready 2 slay them b4 doing your research. And bitches wanna talk shit all the time but swv old asses got y'all on here talkin about so they gotta be some what important huh .swv will clean up because all the hate y'all doing on them is still promoting them and they will have the last laugh. And btw I'm not no old head ass nigga staning 4 them I'm young . And 2 the one who said that got booed ok what that mean and I doubt that serousiy ppl like 2 lie and make up shit 2 try slay some,but beyonce has been booed so has rhianna and alll other top artist WHO GIVES A FUCK Because the show still went on for them and it didn't stop nothing .#BOOM

I don't even know why they put Monica name in it because Monica's album has been a mediocre success and she won't get dropped from her label. A 70% some drop is not huge especially when you consider that Madonna and Nicki Minaj had huge drop offs as well.
wow- the promotion for this album sucked. I knew they were in the studio but I never knew the album was released.
WOW YOU GUYS ARE REALLY NEGATIVE. THATS PRETTY SAD. WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THERE WERE SO MANY IDIOTS IN ONE PLACE?? I WILL WILL ALWAYS LOVE SWV, AND I KNOW FOR A FACT WHEN THEY WERE ON A BREAK THEY DID A LOT OF OVERSEAS WORK BECAUSE MY HUSBAND WAS STAIONED IN JAPAN AND WE WENT TO THEIR CONCERT,SO IF U DONT LIKE THEM WHY DONT YOU JUST TWEET AND POST ABOUT ARTISTS YOU DO LIKE YOU ASSHOLE. LOL! WHO CARES ABOUT PROMOTION MASTER P STARTED SELLING CD'S OUT OF HIS CAR, DO WE BLAME GAGA FOR HER WEIRD ASS SATANIC MUSIC?? UMM NO .WHO CARESSSSSS! AT ELEAST YOU ARE MAKING THEM RELEVANT.KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. #SILENCEISGOLDEN
Those ladies are the shit! @0 yrs from now they will still be touring. Rhianna will be living in an animal shelter for goats. Nikki Minaj will have her body parts melted down to save her mortgage, and Katie Perry and Lady Gaga will be in a home for White Girls Who Contemplate Suicide Because Someone Finally Told Them They're Ugly. Oh let me not forget about Beyonce. She'll be doing interviews on how to survive the illuminate years.
20 years from now
LOL @5:23. I needed that laugh.
On TOPIC:
So many negative comments...This is sad
I appreciate SWV just like I appreciate New Edition ( Ok granted NE preserved their sexy but SO WHAT.0 It's that nastolgia that their core fans want. When I see SWV I don't see manly looking women at all. I see 3 sista's that can sing and that I grew up listening too. They look like women who have lived their lives and are still living. I for one never thought that they were ugly even back in the day. I think the issue is that they each have individual looks/ features and I GUESS some folks thought that they should resemble each other. They are not family members they are members of a group. A group that sang a lot of good songs.
From 1993 up until now, who on this blog STILL looks the same? Seriously. Folks have been in relationships, had kids, dealt with the stresses of life, the up and downs. I think they are on the same level as the average person. If they came back super small people would still criticize. It's not like they came back morbidly obese. (ie Aretha Franklin) THE POINT IS THEY CAN SING! So I plan on buying the album.
BTW for all people talking about low sales. WHAT DID YALL EXPECT? I'm sure SWV ( or E one for that matter) was expecting to go platnum. The album is called "I MISSED US". Maybe this was a personal goal for them, just to put out another album. (Even Xcape fans would like that)
And yes, it could've been marketed a lot better but even still only their core fans will be interested. AND IT'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT.
they were cool back n the day, but the style of music has changed. There is no place for old skool RnB music anymore. If they want a music career, they would have to go with what music is today...techno, dance, rock, ect
DAMN! Why is the paid blogger dick sucking this old ass group of outdoor festival hoes? NOBODY IS OBVIOUSLY CHECKING THAT HARD FOR THESE "I SHOULD BE ON UNSUNG" broke back fat bitches.
@5:23-LMFAO!!! That's the best comment on here. I don't know what the negativity is about. They're on an independent label. To sell what they did and chart is good actually. People act as if they're on a major label. Some of these mediocre artists falling off like Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, Katy Perry, Gaga, etc. should be the ones really worried. The industry and stans are tiring of the autotunes, gimmicks, oversexed crap so their sales have been low. Lionel Richie's new cd is selling more than Nicki's and Rihanna's last ones so maybe this is becoming a wake up call to the industry. People no longer buy crap because you tweet it's good.
I bought the album and I must say; it's very very good. It's true RnB..There is a lot of bashing going on with this forum...why? Yes it's a new generation and RnB has gone downhill, but for those of you bashing the album and it's sales, give the CD a try. Listen to the sounds of real RnB/Lyrics...$14k was a flop by numbers, but I honestly think that they (SWV) really does not care. As LeLee said on Wendy Williams, it was just time to hear timeless music again...
The album sucks donkey balls period!
The reason you buy a whole album is so you can catch the whole vibe of the music in the album. If the job is done correctly you can enjoy and let the album ride from front to back. But with this bullshit they put out today, they are more concentrated on making radio singles instead of telling a whole story with the music.. like they used to do. So I could see someone only wanting to buy two or three songs off of a current artists' CD. Because the rest of the shit really does suck! Any way SWV, however you feel about them has produced a great R&B record. One of the best Iv'e heard in a LONG time! Hatin' asses!!
SWV's album is the BEST ALBUM that's been released in 2012 by far. The reason why there are so many negative comments is because many of these youngsters don't even know what real R&B sounds like. The entire point of SWV's album is for those of us who are tired of autotuned singers who traipse around on stage half naked just to make money. It's about TALENT. They had producers who tried to give them songs that fit what "today's R&B" sounds like. They said NO. They wanted to sound like themselves, and for those of us who are fans of theirs, they hit the mark beautifully.
SWV is of a generation where you had to be able to SANG, or go home. It wasn't just about image. Those who are saying that they are fat or whatever, um, obviously they've been eating good, so apparently they aren't as broke as you'd like to believe. I would pit Coko's voice against ANY of these new artists, and she would sing them back home to their mamas. It's sad that this is the state of R&B (Black) music--where those with talent get torn down by those who have not a clue what real music is. I have supported and will continue to support SWV because they are talented individuals, and THEY are the real deal.
Wow so much hatin in the room from SIMPLE MINDED Jack Holes....Who themselves are TONE DEAF...SWV is whats up right now so catch it and stop sounding all pressed trying to make the current GARBAGE your use to hearing relevant because their 15 minutes is almost up look at Wack Ass Nicki Garbage even she is changing up because her gimmick that had you idiots fooled has been exposed. "Beez in tha Trap sounds like Fergilious" But to you tone deaf losers that shit sounds hot and its not. From Beyonce with those bubblegum pop songs with no real meaning to Rhianna sounding like a Ricola cough drop commericial people are fed up with the FAKE R&B/Hip Hop acts thats are out now. I'm glad SWV is back and if going independant is the best way to put real music out there BRAVO to them.
THE ALBUM IS INDEPENDENT! WHICH MEANS THEY ARE NOT SIGNED TO A MAJOR LABEL, WHICH MEANS PROMOTION IS NOT AS BIG! However... the CD IS GOOD, AND THEY BANK MORE FROM AN INDEP. ALBUM VS. MAJOR LABEL
I LOVE SWV!!!! I brought all their albums an im from new zealand, their albums were hard to find but i got them. I have to say, this album is great an all but i expected it to be bigger an more epic, they should have mixed some of todays sound but still keep an old skool feel like mann did with his album. They are amazing an have great potential but they need to be more open minded with their music choices in order to sell big, i love SWV but this album was waaay to retro, it needed to be updated abit more, sorry i am young (22) lol
This sucks MAN the album is very good we don't support good music anymore this Is sad
WELL IF NO HAVE MISSED THEM I HAVE I WAS A FAN OF THEM BEFORE I WAS A DC FAN THESE SISTERS DNT HAVE TO BE #1 THERE MUSIC AND VOICES ARE TIMELESS ITS THE LABELS FAUGHT FOR NOT PROMOTING IT . NOW ITF THEY WOULD HAVE ON YOUNG MONEY LABEL THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN #1 . THEY ARE TIMELESS ENUFF SAID
