YES!! white genx prep school girl here who loves En Vogue (and boys to men, Mary k Blige, Bobby brown, LL cool j, rob base and easy e, Diggable Planets, Guru. . . )
Massive banger. I think Usher make me wanna was the first CD I bought. Special mention for you know what’s up by Donnell Jones and Back & Forth by Aaliyah.
I heard it a couple of weeks ago at Culver’s & overheard a little girl nearby ask her mom “What’s this song called?” The mom didn’t remember so the kid asked “Was it from the 1900s?” and I just died on the inside.
I always loved En Vogue! These ladies are so talented and beautiful. I can only assume white supremacists are just jealous because they're so ugly in comparison!
One of my favorite things about this song is how it shows off their range. It doesn't sound like any other track they ever did, but it sounds exactly like them. I seriously think En Vogue might be the best girl group ever.
there are still some artists who it breaks my heart to listen to. she died way too young. we were (are) the same age.
and I miss Prince, David Bowie and Tom Petty
This is my personal favorite Whitney song. I don’t even like ‘The Bodyguard’ that much, but love that soundtrack.
My second favorite Whitney track is a 3way tie between the first three songs on this record. Bangers all…
I just rewatched Set It Off on my flight to Spain a couple of weeks ago and it hit just as hard. This song takes me back there every 👏🏾 damn 👏🏾time 👏🏾.
Ugh, I love this video so much (and the other version where we find out they’re yelling at Mekhi Phifer during their show). I need to get invited to private penthouse shows and I need them to bring back huge, echo-y banks!
Aw man that put me straight down a YouTube rabbit hole from En Vogue to Lucy Pearl to Raphael Saadiq and that man has been everywhere so now I'm gonna be up all night watching videos...
“My Lovin’” the song and video, are sublime. Some of the best of the 90s, and the genre in general. The beat, the harmonies, the break out high notes, the dancing, especially the short, slinky, sparkly silver dresses…
60s and 70s were R&B heaven. The Spinners, The Temps, Harold Melvin and the BNs, Marvin Gaye, Main Ingredient, The O'jays, Barry White, and on and on...
I'm pretty sure Hold On was the last piece to fall into place for 1990s rural white teenage boy me to be convinced that racism is just straight up stupid. #smokeshow
This is a fantastic song, but I don't know how anyone can choose a single song from a decade where the R&B genre bodied all others. There are so many bangers.
I started with this video and then YouTube played TLC’s Creep and it just resonated what I read somewhere on Substack about rich white folks trying so hard to be seen as cool. I mean TLC made silk pjs look really cool without even trying.

I love 50s R&B. I love 60s R&B. I love 70s R&B. I love 80s R&B.
The 90s is where I fell off the (soul) train. 😬

We obviously sang this song in our set, but spent the least amount of time rehearsing it bc we knew it so dang well 😅

That’s all I’m gonna say.

But it is absolutely unequivocally my favorite song of theirs.

Gotta add Jodeci to that playlist.
Time to get this song trending and to the top of Spotify - and keep it there, until it becomes reality!
Press play, put on one song repeat (volume off or on) let it keep going and going!
