The Funky Divas -- also the name of their 1992 album -- are back minus a member.

But the absence of Dawn Robinson, who left the group to pursue a solo career, and the transition from foursome to threesome haven't weakened En Vogue's signature powerhouse vocals and funk-infused R&B sound.

How could it with such a winning pop formula?

Grammy Award-winning songwriter and producer Babyface co-wrote and co-produced their first harmony-heavy single, Whatever, while the power ballad Too Gone, Too Long, was written by Diane Warren and produced by David Foster.

But they get more juice from Don't Let Go (Love), which was already a hit from the soundtrack for last year's Set If Off, the harder-edged Damn I Wanna Be Your Lover, the soulful Sitting By Heaven's Door, the funky pop of Love Makes You Doing Thangs and a capella gospel of Does Anybody Hear Me, the latter having been co-written by En Vogue.

The album also marks the first time the Vogue women -- Terry Ellis, Cindy Herron Braggs and Maxine Jones -- have worked with producers and songwriters other than Denzil Foster and Thomas McElroy, who brought them together in the first place.
