98 Degrees & Rising (CD)

In the late 1990s, the upper reaches of the pop charts were inhabited by a plethora of teen bands, among them the talented R&B group 98 Degrees. Although many considered them just an extension of such established male teen outfits as the Backstreet Boys and N Sync, 98 Degrees had more in common with such early-'90s male vocal bands as Boyz II Men.

This harmony-driven Ohio foursome's sophomore release finds brothers Nick and Drew Lachey, Justin Jeffre and Jeff Timmons collaborating with some of the day's hottest producers. The Trackmasters-produced "Do You Wanna Dance" uses a sample from Kool & The Gang's classic "Get Down On It." Keith Thomas and Anders Bagge also worked on tracks that range from hip-hop-flavored R&B to pop and Eurodance styles.

Love songs are numerous on this release, including a remake of "I Do (Cherish You)," originally recorded by country singer Mark Wills. Producers Sean Hosein & Dane Denviller co-wrote the acoustic guitar-accented "Still." The maturity of the groups shines through on their second album on tracks like "Because Of You," "Heat It Up" and 'True To Your Heart," which features an appearance from Stevie Wonder.
