Boyz II Men Album review: Twenty

It's been twenty years since Michael Bivins introduced BOYZ II MEN to the world.
Along the way the group has seen ups and downs and learned to live the ballads they crooned as young adults.
This is an outstanding project.
Not only will you find an album full of new material, but the group has rerecorded several of the songs that made them famous.
Always regarded  for their outstanding harmonies, the group is now a trio.
But this is album isn't missing a thing, with Nathan Morris recording bass parts in place of the departed  Mike McCary.
The first released single is a duet featuring the much loved Charlie Wilson.
The set starts off with "Believe" produced by Teddy Riley.
A very inspiring uptempo song and a great way to start this album.
With songs produced by Babyface, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, Tim and Bob and Da Internz...the new cuts would be classics if urban radio could get it's head out of it's ass.
But I digress.
The rerecording of the older hits is a genius move.
It's a great way to introduce new fans to the harmonies and smooth acapella style.
The re purposing of one song in particular is very timely.
I never thought the classic BOYZ II MEN songs could sound better, but now that the guys have grown and lived some of the adult decisions and pain they once sang about, the songs are that much more well delivered.
So buy it, download it and enjoy it.
Check out the EPK and hear it in their own words!
