Their first studio album in fourteen years, it marks their first full-length release through eOne Music and En Vogue Records.[1][1][2][3] The trio worked with Raphael Saadiq, Ne-Yo, Dem Jointz, Curtis "Sauce" Wilson as well as regular contributors Foster & McElroy on most of the album.[4] Electric Café had a worldwide physical and digital release on iTunes, Google Play, Amazon and Spotify.[5] The album was preceded by the promotional single "Deja Vu",[6] followed by the release of the buzz-singles "I'm Good" and "Have a Seat" featuring Snoop Dogg as well as the official lead single "Rocket".[7] On August 10, 2018 the second official single "Reach 4 Me" was announced via the group's Facebook-page. BackgroundIn 2009, the original members of En Vogue reunited and began their En Vogue: 20th Anniversary Tour. While the original quartet performed several spot dates in North America and the release of new music through Los Angeles-based Movemakers Entertainment and Funkigirl was announced. The group also appeared on A&E Private Sessions where they confirmed to be recording a new studio album. Following their reunion tour in the fall of 2011, Robinson decided not to record on the forthcoming studio album after failing to agree on business terms.[8] On September 26, 2011, Ellis, Jones, and Herron released a single titled "I'll Cry Later" from their forthcoming album that was planned for release in December 2011. In May 2012, Jones also defected from the group after failing to agree on business terms involving En Vogue being signed to Rufftown Entertainment.[9] In June 2012, Bennett rejoined the group and continued to perform throughout the tour. In July 2014, the trio signed with Pyramid Records,[10] and began filming the Lifetime musical Christmas movie An En Vogue Christmas (2014) for which they recorded the two original songs "Emotions" and "A Thousand Times" as well as a rendition of the Christmas standard "O Holy Night", all of which were later released on iTunes.[11] Also that year, the band announced that they had started work on Electric Café, their first album of original material since Soul Flower.[12] In April 2015, Rufftown released the extended play Rufftown Presents En Vogue, which contained four songs recorded by the lineup of Herron/Ellis/Jones during their time with the label (prior to 2012), including the shelved single "I'll Cry Later".[13] In 2016, Herron and Ellis founded En Vogue Records and the band signed a distribution deal with eOne Music.[14] RecordingEn Vogue began recording material for Electric Café in 2014.[12] Initially planned as an electronic dance music record, the trio reunited with their founders Denzil Foster and Thomas McElroy to have them spearhead the album.[14] Sessions with the duo were held at the their FM Studios in Emeryville, California.[15] Each of their tracks were co-written by Bennett, Ellis, and Herron.[15] With recording postponed several times due to intense touring and further songwriters and producers such as Dem Jointz, Modern Future, Kid Monroe, Raphael Saadiq, and Taura Stinson joining the project, the record started to morph into a more traditional contemporary R&B and soul album.[16] While Jointz and Stinson would contribute two tracks each, Saadiq collaborated with the band on his song "I'm Good" during recording at the Blakeslee Studios in North Hollywood.[15] Critical reception{{Album ratings| rev1 = AllMusic | rev1Score = {{rating|3.5|5}}[23] }}AllMusic editor Andy Kellman gave Electric Café three and a half out of five stars and called it "a whimsical yet surprisingly steady collection of material that continuously switches eras and styles with positive energy beaming all the way through it."[17] Track listing{{Track listing| all_writing = | headline = Electric Café – {{nobold|Standard edition}}[1] | extra_column = Producer(s) | total_length = | title1 = Blue Skies | writer1 = {{hlist|Rhona Bennett|Terry Ellis|Denzil Foster|Cindy Herron|Thomas McElroy}} | extra1 = Foster & McElroy | length1 = 5:24 | title2 = Deja Vu | writer2 = {{hlist|Bennett|Ellis|Foster|Herron|McElroy}} | extra2 = Foster & McElroy | length2 = 4:34 | title3 = Rocket | writer3 = {{hlist|Ne-Yo|Shaffer Smith|Curtis Wilson}} | extra3 = Curtis "Sauce" Wilson | length3 = 3:51 | title4 = Reach 4 Me | writer4 = {{hlist|Dwayne Abernathy|Isabella Peschardt}} | extra4 = Dem Jointz | length4 = 3:50 | title5 = Electric Café | writer5 = {{hlist|Bennett|Ellis|Foster|Herron|McElroy}} | extra5 = Foster & McElroy | length5 = 4:34 | title6 = Life | writer6 = {{hlist|Bennett|Ellis|Foster|Herron|McElroy}} | extra6 = {{hlist|Foster & McElroy|Modern Future{{ref|A|[A]}}}} | length6 = 4:09 | title7 = Love the Way | writer7 = {{hlist|Bennett|Ellis|Foster|Herron|McElroy}} | extra7 = {{hlist|Foster & McElroy|Modern Future{{ref|A|[A]}}}} | length7 = 3:48 | title8 = Oceans Deep | writer8 = {{hlist|Abernathy|Candice Pillay}} | extra8 = {{hlist|Dem Jointz|Foster & McElroy{{ref|B|[B]}}}} | length8 = 3:18 | title9 = Have a Seat | note9 = featuring Snoop Dogg | writer9 = {{hlist|Kid Monroe|Taura Stinson|Calvin Broadus, Jr.}} | extra9 = {{hlist|Monroe|Stinson{{ref|C|[C]}}}} | length9 = 3:49 | title10 = I'm Good | writer10 = {{hlist|Raphael Saadiq|Stinson}} | extra10 = {{hlist|Saadiq|Stinson{{ref|C|[C]}}}} | length10 = 4:05 | title11 = So Serious | writer11 = {{hlist|Bennett|Ellis|Foster|Herron|McElroy}} | extra11 = Foster & McElroy | length11 = 4:46 }}{{Track listing | all_writing = | headline = Electric Café – {{nobold|Bonus track edition}}[1] | collapsed = yes | extra_column = Producer(s) | total_length = | title12 = Have a Seat | note12 = no-rap version | writer12 = {{hlist|Monroe|Stinson}} | extra12 = {{hlist|Monroe|Stinson{{ref|C|[C]}}}} | length12 = 3:33 }}{{Track listing | all_writing = | headline = Electric Café – {{nobold|Japanese edition}} | collapsed = yes | extra_column = Producer(s) | total_length = | title12 = Luv My Thangz | writer12 = {{hlist|Denzil Foster, Dwayne Abernathy}} | length12 = 3:11 }}Notes
