CrazySexyCool - TLC

TLC's second studio album, CrazySexyCool, is their second studio album. LaFace and Arista Records released it on November 15, 1994. Following their record deal, the trio released Ooooooohhh... On the TLC Tip in 1992, which received favorable reviews and economic success. The group began working on a follow-up the next year, but the recording process was unsuccessful due to personal issues, particularly those of member Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, who was embroiled in a turbulent love relationship and dealing with alcoholism. Because Lopes was in treatment at the time, the album's recording stretched until September 1994.

The trio reunited with producers Dallas Austin, Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds, and Jermaine Dupri, as well as new collaborators, Organized Noize and Chucky Thompson, for the album, which also contained contributions from Sean "Puffy" Combs, who contributed to the album's prominent hip hop soul feel. Hip hop beats, funk, deep grooves, propulsive rhythms, and smooth production were featured on CrazySexyCool. The lyrical substance of the album was considered as a change from the group's debut, and as a coming-of-age effort that tackled topics including sexuality, romance, inexperience, and young optimism.

Total album sales: 15 million
