HOOTIE MACK

Bell Biv DeVoe: Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins, Ronnie DeVoe. Producers: L.A. Reid, Babyface, Dr. Freeze, Wolf, Epic. Hootie Mack not only keeps the same energetic vibe that made Poison a hit, but expands upon that base, adding a more street-oriented production that, at its best, is more sexy and funky than their debut. Unfortunately, the high points on this album aren't as numerous as those on Poison; not only that, but the good songs didn't receive much airplay, causing the album to drop off the charts quickly. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
