Review

Alright, let’s talk about New Edition’s fifth studio drop, "Heart Break." Dropped on June 20, 1988, this joint is a game-changer for the crew. With Johnny Gill sliding in for Bobby Brown, the group laced up with a fresh, mature R&B vibe thanks to the production gods Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis. Ready to mix it up, the album’s got heat with bangers like "If It Isn’t Love," "Can You Stand the Rain," and "Boys to Men," with Johnny G first hesitant, then owning it like a boss.

Commercially, "Heart Break" climbed up the charts, landing at number 12 on the Billboard 200 and number 3 on the R&B Albums Chart. Certified platinum by September '88 and double platinum by '94, this album shows New Edition’s game is strong. The tour supporting this album brought the fire with acts like Bobby Brown and Al B. Sure! Not only did it inspire Boyz II Men to flip their name and Jagged Edge to dub their second album "J.E. Heartbreak," but it also cemented itself as a milestone in R&B history. All in all, "Heart Break" proves that New Edition was not just evolving, but thriving. - Jace
