Remember the time when groups like SWV, Sista, and En Vogue could actually sing?
Unfortunately, R&B quartet Cherish won’t remind you of those times.
Carried by 808 bass-driven production (“Do It To It,” which, admittedly, is a dope record) that is common with today’s singing groups, Cherish uses catchy hooks and simplistic harmonies (“Show And Tell”) to carry their weakly written songs.
“Chevy” is a good example of their flaws; on the thumping song they encourage their male pursuers to treat them like their prized vehicle. With production from Don Vito, among other greats, the beats do bang. Listeners can certainly dance to Cherish’s LP. Their content, however, leaves little to appreciate. | By Mr. Joe Walker
