New Beginning
As a title, New Beginning may be something of an overstatement -- after all, it is only SWV s second album. Nevertheless, the group does take a different approach on New Beginning backing away from the New Jack grooves that dominated their debut and exploring a more direct, organic R&B vibe. They haven't left hip-hop behind, but they've added a new array of sonic textures that gives their music added depth. But the true strength of New Beginning is the vocal capabilities of SWV -- they can handle smooth soul like "Don't Waste Your Time" as easily as the funk of "Whatcha Need." There may be a couple of weak spots on the album, but the trio's considerable talents make those moments easy to forgive. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
