AllMusic Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine
As a title, New Beginning may be something of an overstatement -- after all, it is only SWV's second album. Nevertheless, the group does take a different approach on New Beginning, backing away from the New Jack grooves that dominated their debut and exploring a more direct, organic R&B vibe. They haven't left hip-hop behind, but they've added a new array of sonic textures that gives their music added depth. But the true strength of New Beginning is the vocal capabilities of SWV -- they can handle smooth soul like "Don't Waste Your Time" as easily as the funk of "Whatcha Need." There may be a couple of weak spots on the album, but the trio's considerable talents make those moments easy to forgive.

Hi, please re-up the .AAC file
ReplyDeleteI tried, still dead. I would like the FLAC file please :-)
ReplyDeleteYou didn't read the bot's messages, love. It did not say the FLAC link was active, it said you failed to specify which link was offline. There's 2 links here. Read the bot's messages again. This will happen everytime you fail to tell us which of the 2 links are offline, if 2 different links are present. Sentinel will update the FLAC link later on tonight.
DeleteCool. Thanks!!
