FUNKY DIVAS still stands as one of the finest R&B albums of the '90s. With their mixture of old-school soul, funk, contemporary hip-hop edge, cool harmonies, and a sexy, stylish image, En Vogue alighted upon a highly successful formula that they perfected on this sophomore release. But what makes FUNKY DIVAS such a winner, beyond the quartet's skills, is the notably strong material.
The unbelievably catchy smash "My Lovin' (You're Never Gonna Get It)" laid a sassy, in-your-face message over a thumping funk hook , and remains one of En Vogue's finest moments. Their updates of Aretha Franklin's version of "Giving Him Something He Can Feel" and "Free Your Mind" (which borrows the hook from Funkadelic's psychedelic anthem "Free Your Mind and Your Ass Will Follow") were also hits, as was the doo-wop inflected "Give It Up Turn It Loose." Surprisingly, the rest of the material is just as strong, making this, hands-down, the pop quartet's strongest release.
