Repeat Worthy (TBT Edition): SWV "Release Some Tension"

Can we just discuss how incredibly dope SWV was back in the day? From the asymmetrical haircuts to the fly outfits, I loved them! So, of course I was extra excited when their reality show "SWV Reunited" debuted on WEtv last month. Since January 16, I have been planted in front of the television every single Thursday watching their drama unfold on camera. But what's even better than the drama is the chance to sing along to all of my favorite 90's songs by them and reminisce on my childhood. I'm convinced I hear "Weak" and "Anything" every single week, but I don't care. I dance and sing my heart out to both every single time I hear them perform.

In 1997, they dropped the album Release Some Tension, one that I don't feel gets the recognition it deserves. That cd was amazing! I don't know why I was singing every song with so much passion at the tender age of 13, but that's neither here nor there lol. Not only were the songs hot, but they had some great features. One of my favorite slept on songs from that album is the title track "Release Some Tension" featuring Foxy Brown. LISTEN, this song still knocks. Not only was I a huge SWV fan, but Foxy Brown was one of my favorite female rappers back then. Therefore, it's no surprise that I still rock with this song. Many of you probably remember this song, but if you don't, prepare to dance in your seat as you listen.
