98 Degrees & Rising (1998) 98 Degrees

"True To Your Heart" was nominated for the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Song Written For A Motion Picutre Or For Television.

This harmony-driven Ohio foursome's sophomore release finds brothers Nick and Drew Lachey, Justin Jeffre and Jeff Timmons collaborating with some of the day's hottest producers. The Trackmasters-produced "Do You Wanna Dance" uses a sample from Kool & The Gang's classic "Get Down On It." Keith Thomas and Anders Bagge also worked on tracks that range from hip-hop-flavored R&B to pop and Eurodance styles.
Love songs are numerous on this release, including a remake of "I Do (Cherish You)," originally recorded by country singer Mark Wills. Producers Sean Hosein & Dane Denviller co-wrote the acoustic guitar-accented "Still." The maturity of the groups shines through on their second album on tracks like "Because Of You," "Heat It Up" and 'True To Your Heart," which features an appearance from Stevie Wonder.

What's Left Of Me (2006) Nick Lachey

It's hard being an ex-boy band member and an ex-husband, and Nick Lachey (formerly of 98 Degrees and Jessica Simpson, respectively) tells the world all about it on WHAT'S LEFT OF ME. Not surprisingly, Lachey makes no radical stylistic departures on his sophomore release, sticking with his easy-on-the-ears blend of adult-contemporary commercial pop. There's not a trace of uptempo dance here, and only a few moments with any requisite rock crunch. Instead, Lachey leans heavily on ballads, pouring his heart out in narratives of emotional desolation and anguish. It is Lachey's bare-it-all expressiveness that makes WHAT'S LEFT OF ME stick, however, as he explores the ins and outs of pop music's oldest and most enduring theme: heartbreak.
