Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins, and Ronnie DeVoe became superstars with boy band New Edition; in Bell Biv DeVoe, they flexed their grown-up muscles. This compilation of smashes from BBD’s first decade shows how they rode the harder-edged R&B trends of the ‘90s while remaining true to their roots. Up-tempo hits like the cautionary tale “Poison” and the jittery “Dope!” fuse hip-hop’s strutting beats with sweet harmonies, while expansive slow jams like the steamy “Something in Your Eyes” show off the trio’s sensitive side.
