Album Review: TLC - TLC

"We don't need no scrubs chasing waterfalls" - in less than a minute, TLC's return album addresses one of two elephants in the room, their past (mega) success.

The other - the absence of Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes - is acknowledged by the end of the album's second line. Both prove that, although they've billed the Kickstarter-funded TLC as their final record, Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins and Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas are looking at the present and not dwelling on their '90s heyday. TLC are devoted to their fans, who will be chuffed at the heady combination of a familiar sound delivered with peak contemporary production.
