Promo pics

Here are some promotional pictures I found online. They just came out but I don’t think they are current. Judging from their hairstyles, the pictures might have been taken last year when their 5th album was supposed to be released. Here are some pictures from last year where they had the same hairstyles as in the pictures below. I suspect we will see a different look from them when they finally come out to promote their album, but who knows, I could be wrong. They might have kept their hairstyles … stranger things have happened.

My thoughts on “5″

I have had “5″ on repeat for the last few days, and it still blows my mind. What a comeback! After such a long wait, I would have been happy had Big Mama released a mediocre album, but they came out – pardon my baseball metaphor – swinging for the fences. I feel like all our patience has been rewarded with this amazing album, and I’m inclined to agree with those who believe this might be their best one yet. In a way, it is a very Big Mama album, full of songs that showcase their powerful vocals and beautiful harmonies, but it also sets itself apart from their previous efforts with the amount of quality, variety and maturity in the music. The songs were well chosen to show off their musicality with a mix of music genres that include pop, R&B, jazz, and even some hip-hop and Latin beat! As usual, the members’ solos add something extra to the album with their individual flavours, but this time we also get two duets! It’s quite a treat for us Big Mama fans.

Personally, I love every minute of the album, so it’s hard for me to pick a favourite. I’ll say though that the first few tracks are mighty impressive. The great start sets the standard for the rest of the album. I know people might have different opinions as to what their favourite Big Mama album is, but I think most people would agree “5” is their most mature and complete album to date.

Welcome back, Big Mama!
