So Plush

Launched by the irresistible lead single "Yes," SO PLUSH the album takes you on an eclectic, R&B/hip-hop odyssey, easy to love, impossible to ignore. "There is an intensity that all of us have to make every song we sing touch as many people as possible. So we put maximum effort into doing everything it takes to make that happen," says Raquel Campbell, (19), who early on patterned her vocal approach to that of superstar urban/pop divas Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston.

Her So Plush sisters in song, TJ Lottie (19), Rhonda Russell (19) and Donielle Carter (19), wholeheartedly agree with Raquel's insight. "It all comes down to taking our work, not ourselves too seriously," Rhonda insists. "That way," adds TJ, "we're able to make the best music we can, and at the same time, have fun doing it." "But you know, it's kind of easy to make an album like that when you're working with a genius like Rodney Jerkins," declares Donielle, who claims vocal influences such as Mary J. Blige, Lauryn Hill, Whitney Houston, Stevie Wonder, and Etta James.
Fueled by four extraordinary voices that consistently deliver harmonic excellence and show-stopping leads, it's clear that in the timeless tradition of the Supremes, EnVogue, and TLC, So Plush has the style, beauty, intelligence, maturity and determination to break new female vocal group ground.

Making an airtight case for their limitless potential and phenomenal sound, the So Plush CD line-up shines brighter than the Milky Way on a cloudless summer night. In addition to the impressive hit-bound "What You Do To Me," featuring Fatz, a rising star also on the Darkchild label, other prime examples include: "More Than Life To Me," a passionate harmony filled, ballad, propelled by the amazing vocal skills of Los Angeles born and based Raquel, TJ, Rhonda and Donielle; "LA LA," a funkdadied, West Coast bounce track that lyrically pays tribute to So Plush's domestic roots; "Fire Burns," a 110 degree slow-jam featuring R&B crooner Keith Sweat, who brings a testosterone rush to the fierce feminine flavor that's truly So Plush; "Broke The Rules," a script flipping hip-hop/R&B jam, featuring lyrics from Da Brat; "Hatin' On Me," an off-the-meter declaration of defiance against those who have your worst interest in mind; and "Times Up," another upbeat track over which the ladies pump up the volume, expressing their views on love connections. "We love this album, and as humble as possible, we think there's not a song on it that can't be a single release," claims TJ.
