EW's GRADE
B

Details Lead Performance: K-Ci & Jo-Jo

On their third album as a duo, the Hailey brothers, who once fronted Jodeci, continue to refashion themselves as sentimental soulclassicists, waxing romantic over easy melodic grooves. Their twangy harmonies evoke both Southern gospel and country. The only disappointing misstep is the Tupac cameo on the album -- grave digging at its worst.
