"U.N.V.(Urban Nubian Voices) came onto the scene in early 1993 with their debut album "Something's Goin' On". This CD has a mix of new jack r&b sounds and smooth slow jams. The group hailed from Detroit, MI and only released one album after this which was the self titled "Urban Nubian Voices". The best track on here is the heavy hitter self-titled "Something's Goin' On" which is in my top 5 of slow jams all-time. The group really put a great sound into this song with a great keyboard sound as well. U.N.V. had the sound of gospel group but at time they did not get marketed very well as their second album, their voices could have made them a mainstay in the industry but the music scene was in a transition from the popular new jack swing to the g-funk era at that time. Also some other standout songs are "2 B or Not 2 B", "Straight From The Heart", & "UNV Thang". Overall a very solid debut. The reason I give this CD 5 stars is because "Something's Goin' On" would get 5 stars by itself. Pick this cd if you love great old school like me."

One fine r&b cd

"i think unv did some wonderful tunes on this cd, though there are some hip-hop tracks but they are not so bad as to keep me away from listening to it. i really love the group, especially when i listen to "when will i know;close tonight;hold on;no one compares to you and my favoured "something's goin' on". i don't regret buying this cd, it is "rythm & blues""
