Krystol
performed a 180 degree turn with this third set. With the untimely passing of
D'Marie Warren
and the departure of primary lead vocalist
Karon Floyd
, the group was downsized to a trio.
Robbie Danzie
was
Floyd
's replacement, and she became the sole lead vocalist for the group's remaining two albums. Additionally, the production camp of
Leon Sylvers III
was replaced with several other producers:
Randy "La King" Jackson
,
Michael Jonzun
, and
Patrick Henderson
.
Danzie
proved to be a surefire addition to the group, bringing it a classy, yet very emotive -- and octave-spanning -- presence. Her performance on the stunning
"I Might Fall in Love with You"
(the LP's third single) is timeless. The powerful ballad swoops and sways in a very affecting way with a tight melodic structure and opulent vocal and string arrangements. More subtle,
"Precious, Precious"
is another lovely ballad. It reached number 25 on the R&B charts, becoming
's second most successful single -- second to the funky title cut (R&B number 18). The non-single cuts aren't nearly as solid, but the vocals are polished throughout, making this a worthy investment, especially since none of the
catalog remains in print. ~ Justin M. Kantor
