On the TLC Tipin 1992 to positive reviews and commercial success. The group began working on a follow-up in 1993 but experienced an unproductive recording process due to personal issues, notably those of memberLisa "Left Eye" Lopes,who was struggling with alcoholism and her volatile relationship with football playerAndre Rison.The album's recording lasted until September 1994, with Lopes' role diminished while she was in rehab.

The album's lyrical content was seen as a departure from the group's debut and was seen as a coming-of-age project which explored themes such as sexuality, romanticism, inexperience, and youthful optimism.

CrazySexyCoolwas met with critical acclaim and commercial success, peaking at number three on theBillboard200,a chart on which it stayed for over two years.

Background

Debut album

On February 28, 1991,Tionne WatkinsandLisa Lopessigned production, management, and publishing deals with Pebbitone,with Perri Reid becoming their general manager. The two-member TLC-Skee made its first recorded appearance on a track for LaFace actDamian Dame's self-titled 1991 LP.Pebbles found the third member inRozonda Thomas,one of Damian Dame's part-time backup dancers.

Thomas was signed to the act in April 1991,at about which time the group's name was shortened to TLC. To maintain TLC's name as an acronym for the girls' names, Watkins became "T-Boz", Lopes became "Left-Eye", and Thomas became "Chilli." The girls were then signed to LaFace in May through the production deal with Pebbitone;their records would be distributed byArista Records/BMG.TLC was immediately set up to go into the studio with Reid and Edmonds,Dallas Austin,Jermaine Dupri, andMarley Marlproducing their first album,Ooooooohhh... On the TLC Tip.The new trio debuted as backing vocalists on "Rebel (With a Cause)", a track onJermaine Jackson's sole album for LaFace,You Said(1991).

L.A. Reidsigned TLC and served as executive producer on both the group's debut and its follow-up,CrazySexyCool

Production onOoooooohhh... On the TLC Tipwrapped up in December 1991.The album reached number 14 on the USBillboard200and number three on theTop R&B/Hip-Hop Albumschart.According toNielsen SoundScan,it has sold 2.5 million copies in the US.It was eventually certified four-times platinum by theRecording Industry Association of America(RIAA) for shipping four million copies in the US.

Personal struggles

Lopes was often vocal about her personal life and difficult past. She readily admitted that she had come from an abusive, alcoholic background and struggled with alcohol problems herself. These problems became headline news in 1994, when she set fire toAndre Rison's tennis shoes in a bathtub, which ultimately spread to the mansion they shared, destroying it. Lopes claimed that Rison had beaten her after a night out, and she set fire to his shoes to get back at him. However, she said burning down the house was an accident. Lopes later revealed that she did not have a lot of freedom within the relationship and was abused mentally and physically, having released all her frustrations on the night of the fire. Lopes, who was sentenced to five years probation and therapy at a halfway house, was never able to shake the incident from her reputation.Her relationship with Rison continued to make headlines, with rumors of an imminent wedding, later debunked byPeoplemagazine.

Recording

Doppler Studios was one of the recording studios used during the album's production.

The album's recording began in late 1993 and continued through till September 1994.The album was recorded at numerous studios, includingDoppler Studios,Bosstown Recording Studios, KrossWire Studio and GADaddy's; D.A.R.P. Studios in Atlanta, Georgia; the Music Grinder Studios in Los Angeles, California; andThe Hit Factoryin New York City.

During the album's recording, Lopes was forced to have less of an input, as she had pled guilty in an arson accident and was sent to a rehab facility as punishment.The rehab facility only released her for a couple of recording sessions, during which time she cut just a handful of album-worthy rap verses.

For the album's production and writing, the group worked with producers including Babyface, Dallas Austin, Jermaine Dupri and more. Thomas stated that they had used these producers because they always worked with them stating that they worked with Dallas, Babyface, and Dupri on the first album "the only thing we had new was Organized Noize."Phife DawgfromA Tribe Called Questdid the interludes. However, during the album's recording, the band members were not always in the studio together; sometimes they went in one by one due to scheduling conflicts.

"Waterfalls" was written by Lopes with Marqueze Etheridge andOrganized Noize,who also produced the song. Watkins and Thomas perform the song with Lopes, who also provides a rap. The background vocals are performed by the members of TLC, as well asDebra KillingsandCee-Lo Green.Speaking of Green's involvement, Watkins said, "He was inGoodie Mob,we grew up together, we go way back. He did and it was amazing! I love his voice. " The lyrics of the song reference 1990s issues such as violence associated withillegal drug tradeand theHIV/AIDSepidemic.At the end of the second verse, Watkins sings, "His health is fading and he doesn't know why / Three letters took him to his final resting place." She said that it was important for the group to "get the message across without seeming like preaching."

Music and lyrics

CrazySexyCoolwas a rebellious and free from the traditional R&B norms that weighed the genre down. That edginess, that swagger can't be replaced without its ties to hip-hop. There's something to be said for how fresh and balanced it sounded, how different it was, and how little it seemed to care about observing R&B convention. To me, that was half the appeal: It was sensual R&B with fiery hip-hop spirit.

— Sheldon Pearce,Consequence of Sound

CrazySexyCoolwas noted as a departure from the group's debut, and was seen as move away from the group's predominantly rap connections. The songs on the album contained sensual R&B sounds built over edgy hip-hop beats; containing propulsive rhythms along with clap-commanding high production, bouncy funk elements and smooth rhythms.

The album's lyrical content was also seen as a departure fromOoooooohhh... On the TLC Tip.A reviewer fromEntertainment Weeklystated that compared to the lyrical content of their debut, which was seen as "kiddie-cute hip-hop",CrazySexyCoolis filled with adult-female sexuality, and "hide- and-seek coyness."It was seen as a coming-of-age sophomore album, according to Sheldon Pearce from Consequence of Sound, who stated the album had themes of "guileless and horny twenty something" lyrics that harmlessly explored sexuality and romanticism with the "naïveté that comes from inexperience and youthful optimism."The album lyrics also touch upon themes of relationships from both the impassioned and erotic sides.

Release and promotion

To promoteCrazySexyCool,TLC—along withBoyz II Men,Montell Jordan,andMary J. Blige—performed in the annual Budweiser Superfest Tour in early 1995, consisting of 23 dates in North America. The Atlanta, Chicago and Indianapolis shows featured an expanded roster of performers, includingBlackstreetandMonica.

All four singles from the album reached the top five of theBillboardHot 100,two of them reaching number one.

Lead single, "Creep",topped theBillboardHot 100 for four weeks, and was one of the biggest singles of 1995, coming in at number three inBillboardYear-End Hot 100 Singles of 1995.It also reached number one on theHot R&B/Hip-Hop Songschart.

The second single, "Red Light Special",peaked at number two on theBillboardHot 100, and number three on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.

The third single, "Waterfalls",became TLC's most successful song, spending seven weeks at number one. It was also the second-biggest single of 1995 according toBillboard,earning TLC two songs in the top three of the 1995Billboardyear-end chart. Internationally, the song reached the top five in several countries.

"Diggin' on You"was released as the album's fourth and final single, and reached number five on theBillboardHot 100. It also reached number seven on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.

The Rolling Stone Album Guide

CrazySexyCoolwas met with critical acclaim. In his review forAllMusic,Stephen Thomas Erlewinedescribed the album as a "smooth, seductive collection of contemporary soul reminiscent of bothPhilly souland Prince ", adding that the material was" consistently strong ".Erlewine continued to write that the album is "powered" bynew jack swingand hip-hop beats with influences of mid-tempo funk, deep grooves, horns and guitar lines.He also referred to "Waterfalls" as "one of the classic R&B songs of the '90s".

InRolling Stone's review for "The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time",the article stated that TLC" emerged with the most effervescent and soulful girl-group R&B anyone had seen since the Supremes. "

In 2010,Rolling Stonelisted the album at number 43 on their "100 Greatest Albums of the 90s". They stated: "Left Eye, Chilli and T-Boz looked like a one-shot when they first emerged from the nascent Atlanta with 1992'sAin't 2 Proud 2 Beg.ButCrazySexyCoolwas a real shocker, packed bumper to bumper with great songs, sassy vocals and voluptuous beats for burning down the house. 'Creep' celebrates the kicks of illicit lust on the down low, 'Waterfalls' digs deep intoMemphis souland 'If I Was Your Girlfriend' does Prince better than The Artist has all decade. The showstopper: 'Red Light Special', an impossibly steamy make-out ballad that undresses and caresses everyone with ears to hear it.CrazySexyCoolestablished TLC as pop pros who could do it all, combining the body slam of hip-hop and the giddy uplift of a jump-rope rhyme without breaking a nail. "

In a 2015 article forConsequence of Sound,music critics Michael Madden and Sheldon Pearce write about how the album has impacted artists well into today's era whose R&B sound has been heavily influenced by strong hip-hop elements. "There should probably be more talk of TLC's role in forging the current R&B landscape, which is heavily, if not entirely, influenced by hip-hop culture now. The two genres have seemingly been grafted onto one another, and there's something of a codependent relationship between the two. To that effect, there's something to be said for that dynamic existing here, too, how the album's sequencing contributes to the music's effectiveness and how it still translates to the modern day."
