Carefully assembled by producers Thomas McElroy and Denzil Foster, En Vogue blended girl-group sass with soul, funk, pop smarts, and a sophisticated sense of style and edge. The harmonies of the three vocalists gave a cool, glossy edge to all their material, and that key element--along with the other hallmarks of their style--is clearly apparent on this fine debut.A number of singles from the album hit the pop and R&B charts, including the smoothly grooving "Hold On" and the vocal-rotating "Lies," both of which made it to the pop charts, while "Don't Go" and "You Don't Have to Worry" were R&B hits. En Vogue would ratchet up their popularity even more with their follow-up FUNKY DIVAS, but BORN TO SING was a strong opening salvo from one of the most successful girl groups of the '90s.
