June's Diary cover Poison by Bell Biv Devoe

Dang! When was the last time we had a girl group - let me rephrase, an R&B based girl group? Thankfully, June’s Diary is here to fill the extremely voided area in music. These five ladies were sought out from Destiny’s Child Kelly Rowland and creative director Frank Gatson on the BET Show “Chasing Destiny” - basically the modern Making The Band minus the walk for some cheesecake. 

These ladies can sing down! But as good as they are I noticed they get a lot of “eh” reactions. Not because the girls can’t sing, but because they do more covers than American Idol. Now personally this doesn’t bother me. I’m all for some good covers (Will be brought back up in upcoming post). I see a lot of comments of if these ladies keep doing covers that’s all they’ll be known for. 

I’m not 100% knowledgeable on there record deal background but from my understanding they aren’t signed. I’m not even sure if they are still under Kelly Rowland’s hand. if they are unable to record original music because of label situations then I think them releasing the music they given us so far is a smart idea. You may be over the covers but it will keep June’s Diary on your mind long enough for once they do have some of own music dropping your perking up to listen. 

I actually loved the idea behind there Male Edition mixtape. The purpose was to pay homage to 90s male groups + sprinkle The Beatles.  

Listen to Male Edition

Now I do know that when the mixtape first released there was original song on there and it was quickly removed from damn near everywhere. Word is that it was taken down because the song was given to another artist which would be completely messed up if true. Wrap Around was a dope song. 

It seems as though the music getting on the right track now. In the past week the group released the audio to new original track, “I Know Why Your Calling” and a sneak peak for the upcoming video to the song “All Of Us’ (check out at the end of post). The song has been out since the ending of Chasing Destiny. 

This has gotten me very excited. I don’t care if it’s a cover or an original track from these ladies. I’m just always happy to get something new from them. I am rooting them, and I been a fan of Kristal since she was in RichGirl - you remember that short lived girl group back in 09, ‘10? It also featured Sevyn Streeter.

We never know what we missed until it comes back around and we need more R&B groups back. Maybe this could be the beginning of a new wave? I hope so - until then - sang on ladies!
