I love these girls. I used to listen to my Mom's copy of this when I was a kid and I'm glad to have my own now. Great EP. "Runaway Love" was a definite smash. I wish these girls would get back together and make some more records.

Most of the songs here are remixes of cuts from Funky Divas. But there is stuff here that you really can't get anywhere else. I can't get enought of "Whatta Man", but I didn't want to have to buy the Salt-N-Pepa CD to listen to it. NOW I can. There's a new song as well. There are two versions-a longer and a shorter one. It's called "Runaway Love" and it's classic En Vogue; summer lyrics, cooing chorus, and soul shouts. A nice trinket for En Vogue followers.

The funky divas themselves, En Vogue, comprised an EP of six songs and remixes that's good enough it needed to be packaged Runaway Love. Sadly there are two versions of the title track with only slight variations and not really remixed to be placed on there twice. "Whatta Man" featuring En Vogue on this Salt-N-Pepa all woman hip hop tune that added to this EP's strength. The remix that fit the title theme and subject of the song, "Hip Hop Lover (Hip Hop Remix)" featuring Kam is a definite good mix. The highlight of this EP is "Desire (Dancehall Remix)" as it was definitely was fine tuned from its original version to be a standout. This song alone is worth its purchase as you can feel yourself beginning to whine and grind as the genre of dancehall does. Runaway Love put the in in En Vogue.

and it's really short, but "Runaway Love" definitely contains some must-haves. The remix of "Hip Hop Lover" in particular is even better than the original, but you've just gotta have this CD for "Whatta Man". The title track rocks too!
