Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
If En Vogue looked like one-hit wonders after "Hold On", Funky Divas, their second album, confounded these expectations, and established them as serious contenders. Arguably the first "swing" band to achieve real success in the UK, they have paved the way for future all girl, black groups such as Jade, SWV, 702 and so on. However, this album, produced and arranged as always by Thomas McElroy and Denzil Foster (also responsible for Club Noveau's classic "Lean On Me", as covered in 1999 by 4 The Cause), is too varied to fit totally into the "swing" pigeonhole, including as it does the faux-Parliament heavy riffing of equality anthem "Free Your Mind". One of the best things about En Vogue is the sassy talking interludes between tracks, and this album is no exception. It also includes singles "Giving Him Something He Can Feel", "Give It Up Turn It Loose", and, most notably, the truly marvellous "Never Gonna Get It". --Ronita Dutta

I bought this CD on a whim at the age of 13, and I haven't stopped listening to it since. It has some all time classics (Free Your Mind) and every tune is impossible not to sing at the top of your voice and dance around the kitchen/living room/bathroom to. It may be old, but it is certainly not dated, and after losing two copies of it, I am now going to buy my third (time lucky) copy. Their later stuff has been good, but nothing beats Funky Divas. Thoroughly recommended!

Format:Audio CD
This is a classic R'n'B album and one of the definitive albums of the 90's. It has funk, rap and wonderful close harmonies in one smooth soulful package. The material is pure quality and the girls have the sort of sass and attitude the likes of TLC and Destiny's Child could only dream about. There is a perfect balance of slow and upbeat tracks which makes it great for dancing or just to chill to.
