Part III: SWV

The Down Ass Chick. Your Ride Or Die. These are terms that describe this group. They can do no wrong. Anything that comes out of their mouths are gold. Like described in the En Vogue post, if this was Jay-Z's Girls Girls Girls... They would be the "project chick that plays a part, and if it goes down ya'll that's my heart."
Here's a quick tribute to Sisters With Voices.

Rain
Very sweet song. Its pretty simple. Nice use of a double meaning.



You're Always On My Mind
Was there a 90's video without Flex Alexander in it? Coco busts out the goods here.



Use Your Heart
Its a nice little message. Solid underrated 90's track



Can We?
This collabo with Missy Elliott occurred later in their career. Nice little changeup from their usual slower beats. To answer the question... Yes I can get kinky tonight.



You're The One
Probably my 3rd favorite SWV song behind the two I'll be posting next. I remember listening to this song over and over in the 90's. There was like a 3 week period where I played this song repeatedly.



Anything
From the Above The Rim soundtrack. I love this song. One of those Timeless tracks that no matter what year it is and how long ago it was made, you will still dance to it.



Weak
Arguably one of the best slow jams in the 90's. If you ever met a person who made you feel the way the song describes it, you know what I mean. For me when this song came out, it was Ms. Podesta, a 2nd grade teacher where I went to elementary school. Every recess I saw her, and she just made me weak in the knees. To you Miss P.



You can't define greatness without mentioning SWV. In a decade that included so many great female R&B groups, they stand out as one of the best. Or maybe the best. That is why it will always be a subject for debate.
