While the group's work is challenging technically, the project plays its cards close creatively - a daring maneuver, considering the current state of saturation in the doo-wop genre.'Д«oyz II Men's debut album, 'Cooleyhighharmony,' earned a Grammy two years ago and has sold more than 5.5 million copies since its release in 1991. In a review, Billboard said the album's 'swaying grooves, highlighted by athletic harmonies, spell idle listening satisfaction. In 'I'll Make Love II You,' the singers let listeners in on the details of the seduction of a women: 'Throw your clothes on the floor/ I'm gonna take my clothes off too/ I made plans to be with you/ Girl, whatever you ask me, you know, I'll do.' And while eschewing the sexually explicit lyrics of many of its peers, the group sings lustful phrases that leave no doubt about its intentions. The album includes contributions by the group members and leading songwriters and producers like Babyface, L. 1, where it returned last week after being bounced by Eric Clapton's 'From the Cradle.' The first single on 'II,' 'I'll Make Love II You,' has held the top spot for several weeks. It recently entered the Billboard album chart at No. The group's new album, confidently titled 'II' - and brimming with songs about troubled love, suffering love, vulnerable love, realistic love and grateful love - has thumbed its nose at the so-called sophomore jinx. Their dazzling success in the record industry doesn't hurt.Д«oyz II Men's refinement of doo-wop's close harmonies and unbridled romance has quickly taken the quartet to the head of the current class of rhythm-and-blues vocal groups and, along the way, helped rejuvenate the Motown record label. They seem almost too good to be true, just the kind of fresh-faced young men a lot of mothers might wish for their daughters. Individually and collectively, Wanya Morris, Nathan Morris (no relation), Michael McCary and Shawn Stockman are polite, sincere and respectful they are neat and even color-coordinated. THE FOUR SINGERS IN BOYZ II Men come across as the good boys of rhythm-and-blues.
