Corporate Line: It’s been a long road to this point for Q, Mike, Slim and Daron, a road that at its most jagged points found the group members managing themselves, breaking away from their original record company, licking their wounds in nearby Nashville but at all times remaining a united front. 112 is more than a singing group with flashy choreography and sexy song craft. 112 is an impenetrable brotherhood. “Our blessing came as a foursome,” Mike states, “so that’s how our blessings will continue to come. We’ve always had a lot to prove. Our first album (112 – 1996) was the introduction. On our second album (Room 112 – 1998) we eluded the sophomore jinx. On our third album (Part III – 2001), we let people know we can do this on our own. And with this fourth album (Hot & Wet – 2003), we will prove that we can switch companies and still keep on hittin’.! We are a living example that with unity, God on your side, and genuine love for one another, you can overcome anything.”
The Good:
Are you serious?
The Average:
“It’s Goin’ Dwon 2Nite” – It’s your usual 112 – saucy and average.
“Right Here For U” – Typical R&B song about love and being a strong man.
The Ugly:
“Hot & Wet” – Baby, baby, baby. Lame, lame, lame.
“Unbelievable” – Put four children in a room with crayons and they could write a better song.
“Everyday” – A song about signing another record contract is horrifying.
Frankly: 112 have nothing left to offer. 3, 2, 1, goodnight.
