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.

    1. You 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.
