Release Some Tension by SWV (CD, Aug-1997, Loud/RCA)

Description: AllMusic Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine With their third album, SWV attempt to break away from the slick urban straitjacket and return to their hip-hop roots. In order to achieve their goal, the group hired a head-spinning array of producers and collaborators -- not only does Sean "Puffy" Combs produce and rap, but Snoop Doggy Dogg, Missy Elliott, Foxy Brown, Lil' Kim, Lil' Caesar, E-40, and Redman all appear on the album. Considering all the extra starpower, it's not all that surprising that SWV occasionally become overwhelmed by their guests, but that doesn't prevent Release Some Tension from being a solid album, particularly when it's propelled by funky singles like "Someone" and sweet grooves like "Rain" and "Here for You." Release Some Tension From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Release Some Tension is the third studio album by American R&B vocal group SWV. Guest appearances are made by E-40, Puff Daddy, Missy Elliott, Timbaland, Foxy Brown, Lil' Cease, Lil' Kim, Snoop Dogg and Redman. The album features hits like "Rain", "Someone", "Can We" (which was originally included on the soundtrack for the Jamie Foxx film, Booty Call). Another single "Lose My Cool" was slated to be released as the album's third single but due to limited radio airplay it was shelved in favor of "Rain" which became one of their most notable hits. "Someone", although featuring one of the biggest producers/artists of the year, Puff Daddy, only reached #19 on the Billboard charts. Group member Coko claimed "Someone" was a "half-assed song" in a 1997 interview shortly after the single's release.[4] Nevertheless, the single was certified gold by the RIAA for sales of 500,000 copies.[5][6] The album was certified gold by the RIAA for shipments exceeding 500,000 copies in the United States.[7] Track listing[edit] 1.
