Some Day My Prince Will Come/One Song - En Vogue




EN VOGUE was very new in the R&B world when they recorded this track for SIMPLY MAD ABOUT THE MOUSE in 1991. They found success with their debut album in 1990 and Disney got them to record Some Day My Prince Will Come and One Song knowing that their name would be a big selling point.

Unfortunately, I think this song is the worst track on the album which is why I've chosen it for Terrible Track Friday. The tempo has been slowed down so much that it becomes boring. And while the vocals get more interesting toward the end, it is not enough to make me like the song. And what's with the cheesy background vocals on One Song? En Vogue has had a lot of good songs but this isn't one of them.

I agree, it's not very good at all.

Personally, I didn't mind the Some Day My Prince Will Come because I do have a soft spot for RnB girl groups from the 1990s (TLC, Eternal, and so on.)
But, it does goes really bad with the One Song- they sound all over the place on that part! - this spoiled a so-so RnB Disney cover into a bordline tolerable cover.
