Hey everyone! How is everyone doing? Good I hope. I have to say that I just bought Before Dark's debut today And I have to admit these girls got Skillz! I hope they and my gals So Plush join the ranks of Heavy Hitmaking femme groups such as Destiny's Child, 702, Blaque, TLC< etc. Please get a copy of this c.d. if you haven't got it already. Y'all won't be disappointed! Other hot releases that are must-haves are EnVogue's latest disc, Lucy Pearl's, Metherone, and My boyz Next's Welcome to Nextasy disc! I love that c.d. to DEATH! Get that especially. God Bless and Bye.

I brought this CD back in 2000, when I was 18 and now that I'm about to turn 23, I can still remember when I bought this CD. I thought this was a great CD and these girls had it all, talent, personality,looks, and a great production team, but one thing they didn't have was great promotion.
They became one of my favorite groups of 2000, after my dissapointment over Destiny's Child (with them kicking out my girls LeToya and Latavia) along with "So Plush", another girl group who had good voices and talent, but were lost in the tidal wave of Destiny's Child (the new group with Beyonce, Kelly, and Michelle). I would love to see "Before Dark" have a reunion. It would be great.

My favorite songs on this CD:
How Could You
As Far As They Know
Always on My Mind
Come Correct
Tough Love
Daydream
She
Push "N" Shove

If you want to hear an underated group of 1999/2000,definitely check these girls out!

Before Dark didn't get alot of play in 2000. I guess cause the world was so hyped up on *NSYNC and Britney Spears. But like Kelis's CD, if you slept on it, you need to pick it up. Songs like "Daydream", "Baby" and "Always On My Mind" reflect the girls' crush-on-you vibe. The lead single "Monica" is a hip-hop/R&B hybrid. It got some radio buzz, but the video didn't do well. On "As Far As They Know", the girls sing about hiding their lover from their friends. With perfect harmonies (check out the "Given So Much" interlude) and bouncy beats (peep "Tough Love" and the Lil' Shawn featured "Push N' Shove"), Before Dark's album should be in everybody's CD deck.

Before Dark are great. But they get no publicty. You never hear their songs on the radio and mtv and bet don't play them. Sometime The box will so that's cool. The album is good they can blow. My fav songs are "How could you" "As Far as they know" "Monica" "Baby" "Come correct" "Back around" "Push n Shove" and "Given so much" I know I know that's a lot of fav songs but hey the album is hott so support Before dark and buy it!

For those of us who are really missing Sa-Deuce, SWV, Brownstone and Jade: check out this great CD from Before Dark ASAP! Who?! It's a shame but these talented young girls seem to have been left behind in the 2000 release rush and THIS IS ONE HELLUVA HOT CD -jampacked from start to finish with knockout, contemporary RnB hits. Pulling in Shekspere for 3 of the opening cuts sets the project up for good things. "Monica" was the first radio/sales single release but personally I think that the sharp, standout Shekspere+Kandi written+produced "As far as they know" should go straight to radio and blow these girls sky high (alongside the year's brightest new talent Pink, the ubiquitous Destiny's Child girls and Kandi herself). The girls sing well (very SWV) and raps by Sole ("Baby") and Lil Shawn ("Push N shove") fill a couple of the gaps. The ballads in the middle bring Jade to mind. Then from the Characters-produced, sexy jam "Come correct", it's hit after hit all the way to the close with the Derrick Edmondson-produced "She", the slower "Push N shove" and the infectious "Back around". Stories of cheating brothers, sneaking around and female independence run strong through the set -though not as in your face as Destiny's or Pink. Anyone who loves good, well-sung, contemporary RnB will be SURE to love this as much as I do and play this out. For more of this >>> check out Tamia's excellent "Nu day" CD. It's a shortlived world for RnB girls and I hope that this CD blows up soon and gives Before Dark the chance to continue the good work.

I was so not impressed with this album that I gave it away after the second time of listening to it. The vocals and lyrics are very teen-wannabe-R&B. They are very forgetable.

love this group but to bad you can't find the cd anywhere not anymore over the internet is the only place you can my favortie is daydream and come correct,baby,monica you should buy this cd or download the mp3 verison.

I HAVENT LISTENED TO THE WHOLE CD I NLY BOUGHT IT BECAUSE I COULD NOT REMEMBER THE NAME OF THE ONE SONG I LIKED WHEN THEY CAME OUT...ITS CALLED MONICA...BUT IT SEEMS LIKE AN ALRIGHT CD..I WONER WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM

This was a great cd. The crazy thing about this is that my sister had this cd in her collection, and I had never heard of them until I borrowed her cd. These girls could really sing. I have "Push & Shove" on a slow mix cd that I made for myself. Too bad they didn't go further than they did because I thorougly enjoyed the cd.

monica monica monica oh monica shes hawkin and jockin stalking follwing ya im a bout to let her know das whas up i like before dark now im 17 i remember them when i was 11 i like the song monica its about all the monicas like monica lewinsky and monica the singer buy this album you;ll enjoy
