There’s absolutely no denying that En Vogue is in a league all
their
own.

From the moment
their hit debut single “Hold On” dropped in
early
1990, every music lover knew the game had
been forever changed.
By the time their debut album,
Born to Sing
,
was released April 3, they
were undeniable.
And 30 years later, history has proven that prediction right. T
o
honor
En
Vogue’s
30
th
anniversary,
Rhino
/WMG
has
release
d
an
expand
ed and remastered digital
version
of a
21
-
track collection featur
ing a
selection of rare mixes, many of which are
only
now
available digitall
y
.
Critics marveled at the
harmonizing
vo
ices of Cindy Herron, Terry Ellis, Dawn
Robinson and Maxine Jones.
Fans weren’t only enthralled by the group’s
vocal
prowess
;
En Vogue’s collective style and
g
race also captivated
them
.
These
women
completely
embodied and
absolutely exceeded the original
vision of
producers/songwriters Denzil Foster and Thomas McElroy. In an industry full of
imitators, En Vogue distinguished themselves as innovators in both fashion and music.
W
hether dressed in black leather or visions in white, there’s nothing
that has e
ver been
cookie
-
cutter with the
‘Funky Divas’.
With talent running over, it was little surprise that
Born to Sing
went nearly double platinum.
And the hits kept coming:
“My Lovin’ (You’re Never
Gonna
Get It),” the Aretha Franklin
remake “Giving Him Someth
ing He Can Feel” and “Free Your Mind” came from the
Funky
Divas
, their 1992 sophomore effort, and “Don’t Let Go [Love]” from the
Set It Off
soundtrack
and
EV3
, their third album in 1996 and 1997 respectively. They also joined forces with
pioneering female
rappers Salt
-
N
-
Pepa for 1993’s “Whatta
Man,” an ode to good men
everywhere.
Through it all, En Vogue proved that not only could they sing, but they also had plenty to say,
weighing in on stereotyping, racism and sexism,
while also standing up for love
a
nd peace.
Beauty, brains, talent and style defined them, not just sex appeal. And it was an unbeatable
combination.
One that has yielded
7 MTV Music Video Awards, 3 Soul Train Music Awards, 2
American Music Awards, a Billboard and Lady of Soul Award and c
ountless Grammy
nominations
.
To date
,
En Vogue
has
garnered 221
million
US streams and 325 worldwide
streams, with 60 million YouTube views.

With a
brand built on talent, style and grace, thirty years later, En Vogue,

supreme

in the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History
and Culture (NMAAHC)
in Washington, DC
illustrate
En Vogue’s
profound impact,
historically
and culturally
,
in both music and fashion
.
“Respecting the fact that we’re all individu
als and respecting everyone’s decision to be and
have what they want and what they choose,” is one of the reasons founding member Terry Ellis
gives for En Vogue’s enduring legacy. “It’s
never
been

s
the essence of the En Vogue sound”
