Truth
Key item features
The family formula for fame relies on talent, personality and style. Cherish has this corner of the Gen X market securely tied up with their Capital/Sho'nuff Records contract and latest release The Truth. Reminiscent of the all-girl hit band TLC, Cherish consists of King sisters Farrah, Neosha, and twins Felisha and Fallon, ranging in age from 20-24. What they lack for in life experience, the quartet more than makes up for in raw talent. Lead by executive producers Henry "Noonie" Lee and Phalon "Jazze Pha" Alexander, the project comes across finely tuned and ready for listening.
The Truth, follows shortly after their first studio album Unappreciated (2006). There are no surprises with the album as it stays true to the American R&B/hip hop genre that the quartet excel at. Good results were reached with the first single "Killa" (featuring rapper Yung Joc) as it was subsequently picked up for the Step Up 2: The Streets, both movie and soundtrack. "Amnesia," the second released single, breaks from the album's club-style to inject a more acoustic ballad. The interlude offers a contrast that's fresh and instantly appealing.
Another standout, "Framed Out," describes the girls' night out routine that begins with the primping and ends at the club. Fresh, hip and containing all the modish lingo you can speak, the song grabs you with its catchy slip. Not to worry if you aren't with it though. Basically, "Framed Out" translates to "got it going on," and Cherish does in this chic tune.
"Love Sick" brings a taste of futuristic electronica, while "Like A Drum" literally beats its own rhythm. Thump, Thump, Thump. Her heartbeat echoes a lonely refrain as the lyrics deal with the shock of an unexpected break-up. Easily identifiable by the majority, and not a new idea, but the exaggerated drumming adds a new flavor to a well sung subject.
The Truth, an honest endeavor based on the personal growth of four young talented sisters, will maintain a steady fan base for the group and encourage new listeners to tap in to another family favorite. The King sisters will be on the radar for some time to come.
