Riff isn't quite sure of its direction; some tracks are done in the outdated New Jack Swing style, complete with tired raps. Others include a barrage of drum tracks and synthesized backbeats in which their vocals must compete for attention with the busy production underneath. Their best tunes are those where their often-impressive harmonies and vocals are allowed to carry the day unencumbered by studio antics.
Riff can sing with any vocal ensemble; hopefully, a future album will be fully devoted to that element. ~ Ron Wynn
