B. Cox briefly looks back at *En Vogue* 's second album 1992's Funky Diva s. On the heels of their successful debut 1990s' Born To Sing , the Oakland based R&B quartet ( *Dawn Robinson, Maxine Jones, Terry Ellis and Cindy Herron* ) came out blazing with their 2nd album which eclipsed their debut. Teaming up once again with producers and songwriters Thomas McElroy and Denzil Foster, the group scored a commercial hit with the album, placing scoring two Billboard R&B and Soul #1 hits in "Never Gonna Get It" and "Giving Him Something He Can Feel" and selling 3.5 million copies in the U.S.
Upon its release in 1992, the album recieved mixed reviews from the critics, but since then, it has garnered more widespread acclaim and praises for its vocal excellence and production depth. It is the group's best selling album to date.
