You forgot how incredible SWV were...

their new album is really getting under my skin. it's a consciously retro affair, i'm constantly picking up sonic and lyrical '90s references, but it doesn't feel like a nostalgia fest - reminds me of the kandi album in the way it covers emotional issues from a grown-woman perspective, that same bittersweet undercurrent that comes from having the assumption that you finally had it figured out overthrown

coko's voice is kinda reminiscent of fantasia in places!

the lack of anyone caring about this saddens me :(

wow, missed this completely - ty

i care!

me too! eagerly waiting for it to appear on Spotify...

Yeah the new album is really good. It's really smart about the way its contemporarizes '90s sounds, and finds a smart mix between modern and retro w/o feeling desperate or obvious. And the songs have real weight to them.

i need to listen to this. so far i only heard the title track

^^ just listened to the album once - and not very attentively - but this seems totally otm.

Yeah really looking forward to this.

So what is SWV's best album? Is there a consensus choice?

This thread is based on a false premise. No one has ever forgotten.
