Along with Guy and Bobby Brown, Bell Biv DeVoe (a New Edition spin-off trio comprised of Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins, and Ronnie DeVoe) delivered some of new jack swings most worthwhile material.

I Thought It Was Me), Dope, and Do Me are considered new jack swing classics and are indeed among the best the style has to offer.

Taking a break from the CDs overall aggression, BBD moves closer to New Editions sound with the decent, though far from outstanding, ballads When Will I See You Again and I Do Need You.

While other new jacks were content to simply emulate Guy, the distinctive BBD deserves applause for daring to stake out its own territory.
