ONE OF THE BEST IF NOT BEST R&B ALBUM EVER, May 31, 2000
THIS RECORD WAS SO SLEPT ON WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE HIT "STROKE YOU UP" FEAT/R.KELLY.THE ONLY REASON I COULD THINK OF IS THE FLOODED R&B MARKET,BECAUSE FIRST OFF THEY CAN SING,THERE ATTRACTIVE,AND THE MUSICAL CONTENT AND SONG IDEAS R STRONG.THIS CAME OUT IN 94 AND I CAN SAY NOTHING BETTER HAS CAME OUT SINCE NOT EVEN CHANGIN FACES 2ND ALBUM.THATS WHY 6 YEARS LATER THIS STILL GETS MUCH PLAY.THERE ISNT A SONG ON HERE I DONT LIKE EVERYTHING ON HERE IS TIGHT.THE ONLY RECORDS THAT CAN EVEN COMPETE WITH THIS IS MICHEL'E "MICHEL'E", KEITH SWEAT "MAKE IT LAST FOREVER", GUY "THE FUTURE", AND MARY J BLIGE "WHAT'S THE 411? THIS RECORD SHOULD GET A TEN BUT AMAZON WILL ONLY LET ME GIVE 5.I HAVE REVIEWED A LOT OF RECORDS AND FEW HAVE GOTTEN 5'S BUT THIS THIS IS A 5.SO IF YOU HAV'NT HEARD THIS GET IT IF YOU HAD IT AND LOST IT FIND IT OR BUY A NEW ONE LIKE I HAVE 3 TIMES.....

Changing the R&B Face in '94, January 28, 2005
In 1994, the R&B market was cluttered with girl groups in the likes of SWV, Xscape, TLC, En Vogue, Zhane, and Jade. Despite stiff competition, Changing Faces, a duo of New York songstresses, attained commerical success with their self-titled debut. This was due mainly to the superb lead single "Stroke U Up" (platinum single sales) and the follow-up "Foolin' Around", each produced by R. Kelly. In addition, both singers were capable vocalists, as displayed by interchangeable lead throughout the set.
Not only were the singles well-crafted, but the rest of the album held it own as well. Other highlights include: "Keep It Right There" (remix featured on White's Man Burden), "Come Closer" (smooth production and smoky vocals), "Baby Your Love" (midtempo treat/2nd favorite track), "Good Thing" (late-night sleeper) and "All Is Not Gone" (syrupy ballad/favorite track).
In sum, Changing Faces turned out an excellent record in the midst of the cluttered girl group market. Even though their debut was commercially successful, better records would later turn up for Changing Faces, namely their 3rd set, despite not acheiving the accompanying sales. However, this record is still very good. It has aged well, and continues to get spins from me and radio. A good-buy for the avid R&B follower.
Grade: B+
