This week, our hosts are diving into the what-ifs and almosts that could have happened for En Vogue. First, our hosts explore the TV show that almost happened, courtesy of Roseanne Barr and Tom Arnold.

They then get into the proposed "Josie & the Pussycats" movie starring En Vogue. Could En Vogue's image have suited the project, and what ultimately led to its demise?

From there, they dig into missed opportunities left, right, and center. From potential collabs to endorsement deals and even a fashion line, En Vogue had their fingers in more pies than we knew! Despite flirtations with partnerships in the beauty and fashion industries, including an endorsement with Maybelline and a proposed fashion line with designer Byron Lars, fate had other plans. Whomp-whomp. Listen in as we discuss the alternate universe where En Vogue's story took a different turn.

Welcome back, Part of Us tribe. This week we're exploring a pivotal moment in En Vogue's career with their 2004 album 'Soulflower.' Looking into the background, we discuss the transformations the group went through, including lineup changes and shifts in musical direction amidst the evolving R&B landscape of the early 2000s. With Cindy and Terry taking on executive producer roles, 'Soulflower' marks a significant shift towards a more mature, neo-soul sound, reflecting both the industry's changes and the group's own evolution. Did we like this change in direction? Listen to find out.

We also dissect the album track by track, examining how En Vogue blended neo-soul influences with their signature style. From the opener "Losin’ My Mind" to "Stop" to the cover of "I Do Love You (Piece of My Love)," and "New Day Calling" each song on the album offers a unique perspective on love, life, and resilience. We also address listener feedback, discussing the absence of Maxine and Dawn and speculating on how their presence might have shaped the album's dynamics.
