"Hey everyone! How is everyone doing? Good I hope. I have to say that I just bought Before Dark's debut today And I have to admit these girls got Skillz! I hope they and my gals So Plush join the ranks of Heavy Hitmaking femme groups such as Destiny's Child, 702, Blaque, TLC< etc. Please get a copy of this c.d. if you haven't got it already. Y'all won't be disappointed! Other hot releases that are must-haves are EnVogue's latest disc, Lucy Pearl's, Metherone, and My boyz Next's Welcome to Nextasy disc! I love that c.d. to DEATH! Get that especially. God Bless and Bye."

One of the Best R&B Girl Group CD's of 2000

"I brought this CD back in 2000, when I was 18 and now that I'm about to turn 23, I can still remember when I bought this CD. I thought this was a great CD and these girls had it all, talent, personality,looks, and a great production team, but one thing they didn't have was great promotion.

They became one of my favorite groups of 2000, after my dissapointment over Destiny's Child (with them kicking out my girls LeToya and Latavia) along with "So Plush", another girl group who had good voices and talent, but were lost in the tidal wave of Destiny's Child (the new group with Beyonce, Kelly, and Michelle). I would love to see "Before Dark" have a reunion. It would be great.

My favorite songs on this CD:

How Could You

As Far As They Know

Always on My Mind

Come Correct

Tough Love

Daydream

She

Push "N" Shove

If you want to hear an underated group of 1999/2000,definitely check these girls out!"

Is You Still Daydreamin'?

"Before Dark didn't get alot of play in 2000. I guess cause the world was so hyped up on *NSYNC and Britney Spears. But like Kelis's CD, if you slept on it, you need to pick it up. Songs like "Daydream", "Baby" and "Always On My Mind" reflect the girls' crush-on-you vibe. The lead single "Monica" is a hip-hop/R&B hybrid. It got some radio buzz, but the video didn't do well. On "As Far As They Know", the girls sing about hiding their lover from their friends. With perfect harmonies (check out the "Given So Much" interlude) and bouncy beats (peep "Tough Love" and the Lil' Shawn featured "Push N' Shove"), Before Dark's album should be in everybody's CD deck."

It was good!

"Before Dark are great. But they get no publicty. You never hear their songs on the radio and mtv and bet don't play them. Sometime The box will so that's cool. The album is good they can blow. My fav songs are "How could you" "As Far as they know" "Monica" "Baby" "Come correct" "Back around" "Push n Shove" and "Given so much" I know I know that's a lot of fav songs but hey the album is hott so support Before dark and buy it!"

Stop daydreamin' and buy this!

"For those of us who are really missing Sa-Deuce, SWV, Brownstone and Jade: check out this great CD from Before Dark ASAP! Who?! It's a shame but these talented young girls seem to have been left behind in the 2000 release rush and THIS IS ONE HELLUVA HOT CD -jampacked from start to finish with knockout, contemporary RnB hits. Pulling in Shekspere for 3 of the opening cuts sets the project up for good things. "Monica" was the first radio/sales single release but personally I think that the sharp, standout Shekspere+Kandi written+produced "As far as they know" should go straight to radio and blow these girls sky high (alongside the year's brightest new talent Pink, the ubiquitous Destiny's Child girls and Kandi herself). The girls sing well (very SWV) and raps by Sole ("Baby") and Lil Shawn ("Push N shove") fill a couple of the gaps. The ballads in the middle bring Jade to mind. Then from the Characters-produced, sexy jam "Come correct", it's hit after hit all the way to the close with the Derrick Edmondson-produced "She", the slower "Push N shove" and the infectious "Back around". Stories of cheating brothers, sneaking around and female independence run strong through the set -though not as in your face as Destiny's or Pink. Anyone who loves good, well-sung, contemporary RnB will be SURE to love this as much as I do and play this out. For more of this >>> check out Tamia's excellent "Nu day" CD. It's a shortlived world for RnB girls and I hope that this CD blows up soon and gives Before Dark the chance to continue the good work."
