CrazySexyCool [2LP]

CrazySexyCool, the second studio album by the iconic American girl group TLC, represents a milestone in 90s R&B and hip hop. Originally released on November 15, 1994, by LaFace Records, this album solidified TLC’s place in music history with its unique blend of hip hop beats, deep grooves, funk rhythms, and smooth, polished production. Building on the success of their debut album Ooooooohhh... On the TLC Tip (1992), CrazySexyCool saw the group working with top-tier producers like Dallas Austin, Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds, Jermaine Dupri, and new collaborators Organized Noize and Chucky Thompson. Sean "Puffy" Combs also contributed, helping to shape the album's distinctive hip hop soul sound.

The album includes hit singles like "Creep" and "Waterfalls," which became anthems of the era and showcased TLC's ability to blend socially conscious lyrics with irresistible melodies. The track "Creep" contains a sample of Slick Rick's "Hey Young World," adding a layer of nostalgic influence to its sultry groove, while "Switch" samples Jean Knight's "Mr. Big Stuff," blending old-school funk with modern R&B. This double LP edition captures the full essence of CrazySexyCool, allowing fans to experience the groundbreaking album in its purest, most authentic form. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to TLC's music, this 2LP set is an essential addition to any vinyl collection, celebrating an album that continues to influence and inspire.
