Stream En Vogue’s ‘Born to Sing: 30th Anniversary Expanded Edition’

Thirty years ago, on April 3rd, En Vogue started its reign as one of the most successful female vocal groups of all time with the release of Born to Sing. Today, Rhino revisits their 1990 debut album on “Born to Sing: 30th Anniversary Expanded Edition,” a 21-track collection that includes a newly remastered version of the original album, plus a selection of rare mixes, most of which are available digitally for the first time.

Recently, En Vogue released the first song “Mover,” a rare Japanese-only B-side which can be found on all digital platforms.

With Born to Sing, En Vogue struck a chord immediately, landing three songs at #1 on the Hot R&B songs chart: “Hold On,” “Lies” and “You Don’t Have To Worry.” Certified platinum, the album was a crossover sensation, reaching #21 on the Billboard 200 chart and #3 on the R&B Albums chart. In addition, the album scored the group numerous honors, including a Billboard Music Award and a Soul Train Award, as well as a Grammy® nomination.

As an added treat, this newly remastered, 30th Anniversary Expanded Edition version of Born to Sing also features remastered versions of nine non-album tracks, including an extended version of “Hold On,” the radio edit for “Don’t Go,” and the Lo Cal Mix of “You Don’t Have to Worry.”

Since the group’s Born To Sing debut in 1990, En Vogue, founded in Oakland, CA by Denzil Foster and Thomas McElroy with original members Terry Ellis, Cindy Herron, Dawn Robinson and Maxine Jones, has gone on to sell 20 million albums. Their many accolades include Billboard awards, American Music Awards, VMAs, and seven Grammy nominations.
