Perhaps compensating for the negativity rampant in the rap world,
K-Ci & JoJo's fourth record,
Emotional, is not only unrepentantly sincere and soulful, but also one of the duo's first to completely ignore the influence of hip-hop altogether. Such a level of devotion to R&B is impressive considering the success of so many rap crossovers on the charts; it's a testament to Cedric and Joel Hailey's deep respect for the smooth love jams they grew up with.
K-Ci & JoJo's have amazing vocals and give sincere performances. The single, "This Very Moment," is a deeply felt performance of an uplifting song, a perfect selection for any contemporary wedding ceremony "Special" and "Down for Life" are also relationship songs with a power to melt the heart of any romantic in range. ~ John Bush
