Part II: En Vogue

En Vogue. The Funky Divas. If I were to describe them, I would have to quote Jay-Z "Girls, Girls, Girls," with them being the "model chick that don't cook or clean, but she dress her ass off and her walk is mean. Only thing wrong is she always on the scene... God damn shes fine but she parties all the time." They're the gorgeous bunch that everyone wants, and every girl wants to be. Their soulful voices is just icing to the cake of this talented group.

My Lovin (Never Gonna Get It)
Probably their most popular song. Its one of those songs when played in the car or club, you're singing along to it. Its a timeless classic!



Free Your Mind
The model/runway concept of the video was phenomenal. It was one of those songs that just tells everyone that these ladies may dress sexy, but in no way they're whores. They are independent strong women who have some control of themselves and are powerful in their own sense.



Don't Let Go
Very popular song in the mid 90's after Set It Off with Queen Latifah came out. The song once again exemplified the kind of voices these girls had.



Too Gone Too Long
Very underrated track. They were in an episode of the Wayans Bros where they were singing this song acapella in their hotel room. It was crazy good.



Lies
Shows their range with a faster beat. They can do no wrong.



Giving Him Something He Can Feel
By far my favorite song of theirs. Plus their video was up there as one of the most sexiest in the 90's. At one point if you were a guy, you fantasized your woman doing this to you. Also, if you were a gal, you knew or at least pondered what it would be like to do this to your man. What a song and video!



En Vogue will always be timeless. If you also get a chance to check out their individual CD's, they are also worth listening. It just makes you wonder how great they are as a tandem. You can never forget the Funky Divas.
