T-Boz, Left Eye and Chilli, aka "TLC," bounce back yet another time with their third album, "Fanmail." For those familiar with the trio, this album separates itself from past projects by incorporating a futuristic approach with their signature R&B sound.

The most radio friendly tracks include "Silly Ho" and "No Scrubs," both adding new appeal to the group with it's ultra sophisticated melodies and trendy, almost techno-like, beats.

Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes adds her ever so funky hip hop flavor on "If They Knew," bringing fans back to the days of "I Ain't Too Proud To Beg," the group's debut single.

"I'm So Good At Being Bad" includes a sample from Donna Summer's disco hit "Love To Love You, Baby," adding just the right amount of softness to the album's most risqué track.

Ballads include: "I Miss You So Much," "Come On Down" and "Dear Lie," all containing "TLC's" familiar sex kitten crooning, but this time adding powerful soulfulness and melancholic lyrics.

The album's last track, "Don't Pull Out On Me Yet," is by far classic "TLC" with its sexy, cool lyrical content and come hither purring. A definite must have for faithful "TLC" and R&B lovers alike!
