CD/Music Review: 3LW: A Girl Can Mack

 

A Girl Can Mack, released in 2002, is the second studio album from the short-lived late 90s early 2000s girl group, 3LW, with group members Adrienne Bailon, Kiely Williams, and Naturi Naughton. Their first album produced their one big hit, No More (Baby I'ma Do Right), but none of the songs on this album could match the popularity of that one. There are 12 regular tracks and two hidden tracks on the album. The only song on the album that became a moderate hit was the single I Do (Wanna Get Close to You), but all the songs on the album would be filler tracks on albums of more popular artists. By the time the album was released, Naughton had left the group, and they pretty much fizzled out of existence after that. The CD liner includes pictures of the group, the production information for the songs on the disc (but not the lyrics), and notes from the group's members. 

Ultimately, the album is a very cookie-cutter early 2000s R&B release. If you are a huge fan of the group, it is worth listening to, but otherwise, it is probably not one that would be in heavy rotation on most people's playlists.
