  • The "Don't Be Cruel" album was released by Bobby Brown in 1988, which means it has been around 35 years since its release. The album was a huge success for Bobby Brown, featuring hit singles like "My Prerogative" and "Every Little Step." It played a significant role in shaping the sound of contemporary R&B music at the time.
    "NE Heartbreak," on the other hand, is an album by New Edition, released in 1988 as well. Therefore, it has also been around 35 years since its release. "NE Heartbreak" was a landmark album for New Edition, featuring the popular singles "If It Isn't Love" and "Can You Stand the Rain." It marked a transition for the group from their earlier bubblegum pop sound to a more mature and soulful R&B sound.
    Both albums had a significant impact on the music industry and continue to be celebrated for their contributions to R&B music.
    New Edition, the iconic R&B group, has left an indelible mark on the music industry with its smooth harmonies, electrifying performances, and timeless hits. Formed in the 1980s, the group consists of talented members Ronnie DeVoe, Ricky Bell, Johnny Gill, Ralph Tresvant, Michael Bivins, and Bobby Brown, each bringing their unique style and vocal prowess to the table.
    Ronnie DeVoe's dynamic stage presence and charismatic energy add an irresistible flair to their performances. Ricky Bell's soulful vocals and commanding stage presence captivate audiences, while Johnny Gill's powerhouse vocals and impressive range inject passion and emotion into every song.
    Ralph Tresvant's smooth and silky vocals, combined with his undeniable charm, make him a fan favorite, while Michael Bivins' distinct rap skills and knack for production contribute to their signature sound. And lastly, Bobby Brown's undeniable talent and charismatic persona added an edgy and charismatic dimension to the group's music.
    Together, New Edition's harmonies are seamless, their choreography is precise, and their stage presence is unmatched. With chart-topping hits like "Candy Girl," "Mr. Telephone Man," and "If It Isn't Love," they have solidified their status as R&B legends.
    While their careers have seen individual successes and changes in the lineup, the impact of New Edition as a collective remains unparalleled. Their influence extends beyond their music, shaping the R&B landscape and inspiring countless artists that came after them.
    New Edition's enduring legacy continues to resonate with fans worldwide, and their music remains a testament to the power of soulful harmonies and timeless R&B.

    Difficult to compare albums however Bobby's album Had Don't be Cruel, Roni, Every little step, My Perogative, this was a combination of La and Babyface plus songs by Teddy Riley. Hit album.
    NE had Is it really love, Boys,to men,crucial ,my kinda girl, and the enduring Classic "Can you stand the rain. Produced by Jam and Lewis
    I choose not to choose both are great albums I bought them both.😊

    Wow. Both albums released on the same day. New Edition’s album produced by Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis & Bobby’s album produced by L.A. Reid & Babyface, who were both the hottest R&B production teams during that time.
    There’s no doubt in my mind that was done purposely to market both albums since Bobby’s departure from New Edition was still a hot topic

      @@kelvinspearman2329 Lol. Bobby was actually from a family of pimps, drug dealers and hustlers hence MCA wanted him out the group. It was too much to deal with. Especially the men his older sisters got involved with hence he was missing concert dates and flights. His mother Carol had a lot to deal with. Ralph did not sing on DBC and he doesn't have solo bangers. Stop the delusion!!! 🤣🤣🤣

    Hard for me to say‼️ To begin with, they came out as a group with too much talent in it‼️ Destined to break up, but I predicted they would get back together‼️ I pray that God will continue to let them bless us with their "gifts" until they get too "tired"‼️Creepin' in from the BAY‼️🎵🎶🎤☎️🎟️
