Description

If the sound of hot new R&B act Ruff Endz is a bit familiar, well, yes, you have it heard it before. The Charm City twosome is blessed with solid sexy voices with a sprinkling of gospel skills à la K-Ci and Jo Jo Hailey. Like the Hailey brothers, Ruff Endz have good pipes, a swaggering street thug/love-man appeal and the time-tested old school soul meets hip-hop vibe. They are a state-of-the-art example of the blurred distinctions, both stylistically (peep the "No More" video complete with light-skinned silicon-enhanced "models" and Ruff Endz iced out, in skullies) and sonically, between R&Bmore… and hip-hop (as on the infectious top 10 single "No More"). "No More" is a misogynist, cautionary tale against money-hungry chicken-heads, but, politics aside, much of Love Crimes is quite good. On tracks like "I Apologize" and the soaring "The World To Me", Ruff Endz delivers the goods. In fact, besides a lack of originality, the only real down side is that (at 70 minutes) Love Crimes is numbingly long: it would be twice as good at half the length. --Amy Linden
