#New edition home again album songs full#
There’s also the gospel-tinged Johnny Gill-produced interlude, “ Thank You,” and of course, the melodic heart-tugging opus that is the title track, replete with orchestra.Īt the center of it all is New Edition, sporting those smooth trademark harmonies and the exciting, soulful performances you get when you’ve got a group full of lead vocalists.
The ballads “ Still In Love” and “ One More Day,” were both highlights on the album. Among the highlights: the mighty, anthemic “Oh Yeah,” “It Feels So Good,” seamless R&B/hip hop masterpieces such as the groove-hardy “You Don’t Have To Worry,” the hypnotic “Tighten It Up” and the chugging “Something About You,” the creepin’ testimony “ Shop Around” and the brooding “ Hear Me Out.” The mesmerizing results valiantly span the gamut of modern black pop. Edwin Nicholas, Silky and Dinky Bingham also contributed. “‘Home Again’ reflects New Edition’s matured performance skills and offers solidly crafted songs with thoughtfully arranged melodies and close, understated harmonies.” – Louil Silas Jr.īefitting an act as important as New Edition, Home Again was produced by some of the hottest and freshest names in urban music, including longtime collaborators Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, Jermaine Dupri, Sean “Puffy” Combs and the late greats Chucky Thompson and Gerald LeVert.
