The Good and Bad of Boyz II Men News
R&B Guru 2009-07-10 17:53:40 Total Posts: 2527	Don't know if you guys saw it but Boyz II Men recently announced a new album due out November 10, 2009. The downside is, the album is ANOTHER cover album. I'm getting worried that Boyz II Men will soon be seen as just a cover group that can't do any of their own music. Which... isn't really a great reputation to have. Still, of their last few albums, Motown, a cover album, was probably one of the best. So who knows. Shawn said his giant ring in their latest YouTube video reveals the name of the album, but I couldn't read it for beans. I want to say Throwback Volume 2 but it doesn't look like it haha. You can see the video and screen caps here: http://www.soulofrnb.com/?p=1080 What do you guys think?

That is nice that they are doing that, but I want to see them make their own music again. I guess that is kind of bad news. I want Boyz II Men to come out with an album of their own music.

They've GOT to be working on original stuff too. Plenty of artists do cover albums, but one, maybe two. Def not THREE cover albums like this. My only hope is since the material this time is a lot diferent (Journey - Open Arms is confirmed), maybe they will be more creative with it I'm with you Havok.

That's really good though, I've liked a lot of All 4 One's stuff, even though they don't get much love. Here's a snippet of Boyz II Men doing Open Arms. It sounds pretty good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HMLr-mKyEs Nice, cool stuff.

Boyz II Men just seems to fall apart without Babyface, they need to get back together for some original material. SO many soul artists are putting out lame cover albums.
