After flamboyant soul man Sisqo scored multi-platinum success with his solo debut, Unleash the Dragon -- thanks to the irrepressible "Thong Song" -- the future of his group Dru Hill seemed uncertain. But after Sisqo's prolonged 15 minutes of fame came to a screeching halt with the sophomore flop Return of Dragon, the singer's return to his roots -- even if he's a little ego-damaged -- makes perfect sense. Dru Hill's eagerly anticipated third album, Dru World Order, reveals that not much has changed about the Baltimore collective's Jodeci- and gospel-inspired harmonies since Sisqo, Woody, Jazz, and Nokio last groaned not-so-sweet nothings on 1998's Enter the Dru. And with the addition of a fifth member, Scola, there's just more for the ladies to love. Produced primarily by Nokio (who's also worked with Mya), the album features sexy ballads such as "Xstacey Jones" and "She Said," featuring Chinky from Sisqo's girl group LovHer; gritty urban grooves such as the Asian-flavored "On Me," featuring rapper N.O.R.E.; and the let-me-steal-you-from-your-boyfriend plea "I Should Be..." Let's just hope that Sisqo realizes that he'll have a longer-lasting musical legacy with Dru Hill and decides to stay put. Tracy E. Hopkins

After Sisqó's solo debut pushed two big hits ("Thong Song," "Incomplete") to the top of the charts, it appeared Dru Hill was going to have to recruit a replacement for its best-known name. When the group finally returned in 2002, though, it not only welcomed Sisqó back to the fold but added a member (Skola) to make the group a quintet. The third album, Dru World Order, proves the group possesses as much talent as any of their contemporaries in the R&B world. First of all, it's largely self-contained; Nokio produced over half the album, and much of the songwriting was kept in-house as well. And with the gospel fervor of new addition Skola, Dru Hill sounds stronger and smoother than it has in the past. The single "I Should Be..." is solid, if a little in the line of standard material for them, but "On Me" (featuring N.O.R.E.) and "Old Love" are two of the most inspired songs they've ever recorded. The songwriting tends to similar themes, as do the songs themselves, but having the most polished harmonies on the R&B block makes Dru Hill capable of smoothing over any of the rough spots on Dru World Order.
