En Vogues Debut Hasnt Been Available On Vinyl Since The Early 90s
Born To Sing Is Now Presented In A Red And White Split Colored
Pressing Exclusively For RSD Black Friday

En Vogue was formed in the late 80s by Oakland-based production and
songwriting duo Denzil Foster and Thomas McElroy when they recruited
vocalists for their release FM2 for Atlantic. The concept was simple, a
modern-day girl trio in the tradition of the Supremes, Martha and the Vandellas,
the Ronettes and the like who had flourished in the early 1960s. Approximately
3000 women attended the auditions with Dawn Robinson, Cindy Herron, and
Maxine Jones making the final cut. The group expanded almost immediately to a
quartet with the addition of Terry Ellis who was initially heartbroken when
missing the audition due to a delayed flight. Their debut, Born To Sing, went on
to be certified Platinum three times over, propelled by four major singles,
including “Lies”, “You Don’t Have to Worry”, and “Hold On” (which was famously
interpolated on the LL Cool J song The Boomin System from the same year),
all of which peaked at the number one slot on Billboard’s Hot R&B Songs chart.
In addition to their immediate success, the group influenced the wave of vocal
groups throughout the 90s, with a line-up of En Vogue continuing to this day.
For RSD Black Friday Get On Down presents this landmark recording in a never
seen Red and White split colored vinyl pressing.
