SWV Talks About New Album And Beyonce

RnB divas Cheryl Gamble, Tamara Johnson and Leanne Lyons of SWV are gearing up for a major come back after being absent from the music scene for almost 15 years.

The singers recently released a new song called “Co-Sign” and have been on a promotional tour to push their upcoming yet-to-be titled CD that will be out in 2012.

The all-female band recently sat down with Vibe to talk about the album, Beyonce and finally explain what they have been up to in the last decade.

On being absent from the game and watching singers like Beyonce soar to the top LeLee stated:

You know to be honest, I wouldn’t say it was the greatest, but it was peaceful. You didn’t have to worry about people constantly picking on you for no reason. I went to church a lot more and my relationship with God flourished. I had to use that time to figure out who I was and what my purpose was in life. Throughout all of my trials and tribulations–I love who I am today. I chose life over death. I chose living for me instead of living for people. Part 2. I really got to see music change, especially for the women. Sometimes I didn’t know if they were selling records or their ass lol. On a serious note, I really enjoyed seeing Beyonce blossom because I have history with her. I always knew she was the star she is today back when she was way younger. It was just in her. I also enjoyed Jill Scott, India.Irie, and a few others

Coko revealed that she was not vacationing in the past years- she was simply working on other kinds of music:

Well for me I was still recording but just a different genre of music. I recorded a solo R&B CD, then went on to record 2 gospel CD’s & became a Grammy nominated gospel artist, so that was pretty awesome!

On being able to make a major comeback a very positive Coko shared with the publication.

I think anybody can be a major hit again with hard work! Girl groups are missing right now & every few years we go away but now’s our time to shine. Maybe with SWV’s return we will see more girl groups coming out doing their thing…it’s needed!

Will you be supporting SWV when their album drops?
