They were brought together by producers Denzil Foster and Thomas McElroy and recorded two successful original albums as a quartette, 'Born To Sing' and 'Funky Divas'. After some lineup changes, they continued to record music as a trio and have recently re-formed with the original members for their 20 year anniversary tour. They are currently working on a new album and a reality television show.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe original line-up of En Vogue consisted of Cindy Herron (Braggs), Terry Ellis, Maxine Jones, and Dawn Robinson. Over the years, there have been several changes in the group's lineup. Dawn Robinson left in 1997 to pursue a solo career while Maxine Jones briefly rejoined the group in 2003 before leaving again to focus on her family.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2005, the original members reunited for various performances and signed a management deal.

Their most commercially and critically successful album, \u003ci\u003eFunky Divas\u003c\/i\u003e, stands as one of the best pop \/ R\u0026amp;B albums to emerge from that time, incorporating soul, hip-hop, pop, dance, and rock to create one of the era's most diverse, dazzling, and exciting pieces of work. The album, which is basically free of filler, scored no less than five hit singles, three of which became Top Ten pop hits. Additionally, several other album tracks became dance hits and received considerable airplay as well. These include the unstoppable \u003ci\u003eMy Lovin' (You're Never Gonna Get It)\u003c\/i\u003e, which combined perfect harmonies, street sass, and 1990s female assertion to create one of the biggest hits of 1992, as well as a catch phrase which became ubiquitous in popular culture. Other hits include their sophisticated, shimmering Top Ten remake of \u003ci\u003eGiving Him Something He Can Feel\u003c\/i\u003e, a ghetto love fable initially popularized by Aretha Franklin, the doo wop good-feelin' \u003ci\u003eGive It Up Turn It Loose\u003c\/i\u003e, the jazzy \u003ci\u003eLove Don't Love You\u003c\/i\u003e, and the hard rock smash \u003ci\u003eFree Your Mind\u003c\/i\u003e. The last was a hit which, following the summer of the Los Angeles riots, struck a chord with national audiences by coaxing people to let down their guards about racism and prejudice. Other highlights include the great opener \u003ci\u003eThis Is Your Life\u003c\/i\u003e, the hip-hop tracks \u003ci\u003eHip Hop Lover \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eIt Ain't Over Till the Fat Lady Sings\u003c\/i\u003e, the house track \u003ci\u003eWhat Is Love\u003c\/i\u003e, the sexy, Middle Eastern-influenced Desire, and their wonderful, should-have-been-a-hit version of Curtis Mayfield's \u003ci\u003eHooked on Your Love\u003c\/i\u003e. Combining sass, elegance, and class with amazing vocals and perfect production, this delightful set stands as one of the 1990s definitive pop albums.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Music On Vinyl","offers":[{"title":"Purple LP","offer_id":50481175134539,"sku":"2006981","price":32.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"LP - Black","offer_id":50481175527755,"sku":"2017095","price":34.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP","offer_id":50481174708555,"sku":"1012140","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/f0b901cc-d94e-484e-9b94-c55e3d3c199e_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727534954"},{"product_id":"born-to-sing-deluxe-edition","title":"Born To Sing: Deluxe Edition","description":"\u003cp\u003eWe are proud to launch 90\/9, our dedicated new 90s imprint, with a deluxe edition of an iconic album from 1990: “Born to Sing”, the platinum debut from timeless female vocal group, En Vogue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduced by Denzil Foster and Thomas McElroy, “Born to Sing” features the signature hit ‘Hold On’ (#2 US, #1 US R\u0026amp;B and #5 UK), plus ‘Lies’ and ‘You Don’t Have to Worry’ (both also #1 R\u0026amp;B smashes) and ‘Don’t Go’ (#3 R\u0026amp;B).
