Room 112

CD Details

Amazon.com

112 would be just another quartet of smooth crooners if it weren’t for the simple fact that their Bad Boy brand of R&B funk is so damn irresistible. “Love Me” opens with the directive, “Do that Puff Daddy shit, son!” and indeed you can pick up the Puffy one’s fingerprints all over Room 112–Mase cameos on “Love Me,” and Lil’ Kim shows up on the slamming “The Only One,” a surefire dance-floor hit with an infectious bass line reminiscent of the Bad Boy “Only You” remix. The ballads are as wrinkle-free as expected, but “Your Letter” is poignant. Check into Room 112, and you won’t want to leave. –Rebecca Wallwork

Review

Smooth, slow jams and sensual, midtempo grooves are 112’s stock in trade, and that’s mostly what’s to be found in Room 112. — USA Today
