Back in the 1990s, when young singing groups roamed the earth, multi‐platinum artists Dru Hill was one of the finest bands on the planet. Called “today’s most dynamic male R&B group,” by Vibe magazine, Dru Hill is a self‐contained crew whose hits include “Tell Me,” “In My Bed,” “We’re Not Making Love,” “How Deep is Your Love” and “Beauty.”

 

Yet, while the group topped the charts from 1996 to 2003 with their Dru Hill (1996), Enter the Dru (1998) and Dru World Order (2002), it has been seven years since Dru Hill has collectively created any new music. InDRUpendence Day, the group’s fourth disc, marks the return of the group, while also welcoming new member Antwuan "Tao" Simpson (pronounced Tay‐oh) who has replaced Woody.

 

With the InDRUpendence Day, Dru Hill has given their fans a precise, focused collection of songs that reinforces the fact that R&B groups in the tradition of the Temptations, the Detroit Emeralds and the Stylistics still exist. Entertaining, smart and soulfully fun.
