Funky Divas is the second studio album by American recording group En Vogue, released by Atlantic Records division EastWest on March 24, 1992 in the United States. Conceived after the success of their Grammy Award–nominated debut album Born to Sing (1990), En Vogue reteamed with their founders Denzil Foster and Thomas McElroy to work on the entire album.
Like the Supremes, En Vogue were the perfect mixture of fabrication and fabulousness.
Funky Divas is the second studio album by American recording R&B/pop group En Vogue. Released in 1992, it became their highest selling album to date and one of the top selling albums of the year, selling over five million copies worldwide.
Album · 1992 · 13 Songs. With injections of ’60s girl-group panache and trippy funk, En Vogue’s second album recalibrated R&B, creating a fresh template for the genre in the ’90s. From the jazzy, doo-wop-style refrain of My Lovin’ (You’re Never Gonna Get It) to the classic-rock swagger of Free Your Mind, the wide-ranging sounds and hippie-ish vibes of Funky Divas have a loose-limbed openness that transcends the boudoir jams of the era’s contemporary soul scene. Funky Divas En Vogue.
Funky Divas spends two weeks at number one on the Billboard R&B album chart, peaking at number eight on the Top 200, and is certified 3x Platinum in the US by the RIAA. Free Your Mind appeared on their Funky Divas (1992) recording. The lyrics urge people to free their minds from prejudice, specifically along racial and gender lines. The video opens on a zoom-in of a dark, Negro woman with baby locks.
