B Angie B started out as a back up singer for the Bust-It label formed by MC Hammer and his brother Louis. She sang for artists including Hammer, Oaktown's 357, Soft Touch, One Cause One Effect, Ace Juice, and then of course her own debut cd in 1991. Her music was infused with hip-hop r&b along with strong soulful vocals. Her first single to gain attention was a cover of the Emotions 70's clasic "I DON'T WANT TO LOSE YOUR LOVE" which peaked at #2 on the billboard hot 100. Her live performances drew all kinds of attention as in those days she was the pioneering rump shaker and I think people didn't really know where to put her as far as a music category. She was different then those other types of singers at the time. Very fresh, original, and just pure beautiful. Her sound would go on to influence many others such as Mary J. Blige, Mariah, and Beyonce just to name a few.

This remastered cd was done very well and sounds beautiful. The quality is excellent. This cd also includes a bonus dvd of rare B Angie B performances and three music videos including Midnite Lover, I Don't Want To Lose Your Love, and Sweet Thang.

To this day B Angie B remains one of the most underated talents of modern r&b-hiphop music.

Listen to "I Don't Wanna Lose Your Love" and know why B Angie B is a DIVA!!!!!!!!

I was just thinking about this album and looked it up on Amazon to read some reviews on it and see what similar music I might find from back in the day that I forgot about. I still have a copy of the first release from years ago when this album first came out and amazingingly enough that thing still plays. I know I must have given that cd a hard time playing it so much back in the 90's. There are three songs on this cd that I love and that's I DON'T WANT TO LOSE YOUR LOVE, THIS IS A JAM FOR YOU, and PUMP IT UP. It's too bad she only made this one cd because she really had a powerful voice.

I am so grateful to have this album back!!!! I've always been a
"B Angie B" fan as well as a fan of Oaktown 357 and the entire MC Hammer crew. This was good 90's music that I really enjoyed and now miss. Thanks again for bringing B Angie B back!
