FEELIN’ YOU - 3LW
After a four-year hiatus, platinum R&B female trio 3LW returns with an old-school midtempo groove confirming that these 3 Little Women are all grown up, some six years after global hit “No More (Baby I’ma Do Right).” Trade-off lead vocals and creamy harmonies continue to be the group’s strong suit, with a fortuitous background rap from producer/co-writer Jermaine Dupri, which adds a contemporary tip — and cachet. Even though they’ve been away for an eternity in music-biz years, two members — Adrienne Bailon and Kiely Williams — have maintained prominence with the “Cheetah Girls” movies via Disney. With their continuing appeal to the younger set, that should add marksmanship to this bull’s-eye release. From the long-delayed album “Point of No Return,” due August 15. Billboard
