THROWBACK THURSDAY: SWV - I'm So Into You!

Many girl groups and boy bands are inspired by SWV (Sisters With Voices). It isn't a surprise as these 3 ladies were at the top of their game in the 90's.

Cheryle Gamble, Tamara Johnson and founder of the band Leanne Lyons formed in 1990 as a gospel group but were signed by Teddy Riley in 1992 when he received a five track demo the girls sent to him.

SWV became one of the most successful R&B groups of the 1990s. They had a series of hits, including 'Weak', 'Right Here/Human Nature', 'I'm So Into', and 'You're The One'. The group disbanded in 1998 to pursue solo projects, and reunited in 2005. SWV is currently ranked #100 on the Top 500 Pop Artists of the Past 25 Years at the website Rock on the Net.

Following the success of their debut album It's About Time, SWV appeared on the soundtrack for the 1994 film Above The Rim. The single, 'Anything', became a Top Ten R&B hit and reached #18 on the Hot 100 in the spring of 1994. That same year, SWV released The Remixes which went gold by the end of the year. In the summer of 1995, the trio lent vocal harmonies to Blackstreet's Top 40 R&B hit 'Tonight's the Night'. In 1995, SWV recorded New Beginning, which was released in 1996 and led by the #1 R&B (and #5 Hot 100) hit 'You're The One'. The second single 'Use Your Heart' was the first ever credited to the production team The Neptunes. Also, in 1995 SWV appeared on the Waiting To Exhale: Original Soundtrack Album recording the track, 'All Night Long'.

With current bands such as Duchess, The Saturdays and Encore looking up to these ladies vocally and longevity in the music scene, no wonder SWV were amazing at their craft.

'I'm So Into You' was just one of my favourite songs these artists have released. Some of you may be too young to remember but here's the video to 'I'm So Into You'. Let me know your thoughts.
