'If You Fall' For Dru Hill, That's On You

As the rest of us are two-stepping into the new year, Dru Hill is back again, and taking a decidedly different approach. Known for their ballads, the guys are aiming for play at the clubs with the newest single entitled "If You Fall" that leaked last week from their momentous long-awaited why? comeback album. I have to say, after six listens, it started to grow on me. The problem with that is that it took six listens for it to grow on me. Which makes it perfect for radio. The ultimate fail, in my opinion, is that the group--one of the few in which each member can actually sing well--impales itself on the Auto-tune cross unnecessarily. Although, in their defense, they probably recorded the song sometime last year when that version of vocal "enhancement" was all the fad en vogue. Clearly, the fellas are taking their time with InDRUpendence Day, what with the previous track leaking last June. At this rate, I'm pretty confident the project will be ready to go on their desired July 4th date. In 2014.
