BOYZ II MEN’S NEW ALBUM SET TO SURPRISE

By Daniel Eade

“We think a lot of people are going to be surprised at the concept of the record.”


Thrust back into the spotlight with two Grammy award nominations in 2009, Boyz II Men have now reappeared on the public radar. They are preparing to set hearts fluttering and ladies fainting all over the planet once again, with a new and yet untitled album set for release later this year, 17 calendars on from when they first blew up our radio airwaves.


BOYZ II MEN’s climb to success has seen them make countless trips to the pinnacle of the Billboard singles chart spending an unbelievable 50 weeks in total at the top spot.

This type of an achievement places them in the same company as other celebrated musical icons including Elvis Presley, Mariah Carey, and The Beatles. Timeless ballads such as ‘End of The Road,’ ‘I’ll Make Love To You,’ ‘On Bended Knee,’ ‘One Sweet Day,’ (the record breaking duet with Mariah Carey) and ‘4 Seasons of Loneliness,’ have skyrocketed and solidified Boyz II Men’s status as nothing short of legendary.


After their most recent release; ‘Motown - A Journey Through Hitsville USA,’(2007) Boyz II Men are still contracted to release one album from a two album deal they signed with Universal Records. Randy Jackson, most famously known for his judging on American Idol, is set to re-establish his role as producer on the new album.


Boyz II Men are being very guarded regarding their new material and even after potential tracks leaked onto YouTube, swift action was taken to have them promptly removed. Speculation
surrounds one of Boyz II Men’s new ‘slow jams’ suggesting that it will be titled, ‘100%’ - a track written and produced by the Inkwell.


Another possibility is the soulful joint, ‘Back To The Future’ (which can be found on youtube under Boyz 2 Men - Back To The Future) and even though the vocals aren’t done by Boyz II Men it is believed this is another song that has been shopped to the trio.


After making hit records and collaborating with multi Grammy awarding winning artists like Babyface, and Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, to name but a few, Boyz II Men would undoubtedly love to again be presented with a stirring ballad or two or even three, from the before-mentioned hit makers before they finish off their current contract with Universal.


Although Shawn Stockman, one third of the line-up of Boyz II Men along with Nathan Morris and Wanya Morris, speaking about the new album on BoyzIIMenTV (the groups YouTube channel) was quoted saying; “It’ll definitely be different. We think it’s going to be pretty interesting.”


“We think a lot of people are going to be surprised at the concept of the record.”

For a group who are commonly recognised as the most successful R&B act of all time, the desire to take their music to new heights is still burning strong. Boyz II Men’s next challenge as they attempt to retain their dominance as R&B royalty is to remind the world once again why they are the greatest of all-time.


And while we’ve been promised what is set to rock our speakers will be different, interesting and surprising, we can also expect Boyz II Men to deliver quality and class.
