DRU WORLD ORDER

Dru Hill: Nokio, Sisqo, Scola, Jazz, Woody. Producers include: Nokio, Roundtable, Bryan Michael Cox, Kwame, Sean "Moccaa" Banks. DRU WORLD ORDER is another immaculate collection of smoothly-executed R&B of the type that topped the Billboard charts on Dru Hill's first couple of releases. This third album continues where the band left off--silky smooth vocals and arrangements that ooze out of the speakers like butter, massed harmonies that take no prisoners, and after-hours love ballads such as the provocative "Xstacey Jones" that positively melt the senses. And lest you take them for a mere bunch of love wimps, there's also the tough-minded, Noreaga-assisted "TK" that bangs like the scorching street anthem it undoubtedly is. Mostly though, DRU WORLD ORDER is unapologetically sensual in its exploration of contemporary soul stylings, proving the band ready and able to take on a gangsta rap-saturated R&B market.
