After achieving minimal success in 1987 with the Sugar Babes album, MCA gave Stacie Irvin and Kimiko Whitaker another shot with this contagious R&B/pop outing, demonstrating impressive proficiency in catchy dance ditties and romantic ballads. Former cohort Patrice Lydia was no longer in the picture by this time, and as a result, the vocal chemistry between Stacie and Kimiko) became even tighter. The two don't simply take turns singing leads; there is evident interaction in the body of songs such as the picturesque heartbreaker "Every Word" and the in-your-face "It Just Ain't Right." Furthermore, the ad-libs are always well devised, sounding spontaneous but not sloppy like many of the new-school R&B acts that would pop up later in the 1990's. Both singers have lightweight voices that are well suited to radio; but the fact that they are not vocal powerhouses doesn't prevent them from instilling plenty of passion and all-around style in the celestial "My Thrill" or the downright funky "Come and Get It." Unfortunately, none of these elements got them further than #36 on the R&B chart (the single "Wait for Me"), and a 1992 solo album by Kimiko on Tabu Records was permanently shelved. Still, this is a diamond in the rough that's definitely worth the dig for any loyal fans of the late 80's and early 90's R&B revolution. ~ Justin M. Kantor, Rovi
