  • CRAZYSEXYCOOL won a 1996 Grammy Award for Best R&B Album, and "Creep" won a 1996 Grammy for Best R&B Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal. "Creep" and "Red Light Special" were both nominated for Best R&B Song; "Waterfalls" was nominated for Record Of The Year and for Best Pop Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal.
  • Personnel: Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes (vocals).
  • Audio Mixer: Dave Way.
  • Recording information: Bosstown Recording Studios, Atlanta, GADaddy's; D.A.R.P.Studios, Atlanta, GA; Doppler Recording Studios, Atlanta, GA; KrossWire Studio, Atlanta, GA; Music Grinder Studios, Hollywood, CA; The Hit Factory, New York, NY.
  • The elements that had this precocious trio's debut album blasting out of playgrounds, top 40 radio stations and even rock critics' Walkmans are still here--infectious dance grooves, pop melodies and sassy raps that put '90s feminism into action.
  • But CRAZYSEXYCOOL also launches TLC from girlhood into youngwomanhood, with, on one hand, Janet Jackson-esque paens to sex ("Let's Do It Again") and, on the other, melodically downbeat ghetto ballads ("Waterfalls") that recall Stevie Wonder as a young man.
  • The scratchy world-weariness of the lead vocal in "Waterfalls" is one of several nods to classic soul singing. "Case Of The Fake People," written by Dallas Austin, alludes to the O'Jays' "Backstabbers," and "If I Was Your Girlfriend" is a cover of Prince at his most sincere (oddly unreversing his role reversal). And the single "Creep" is a "Dark End Of The Street" for the '90s, a cheating song that walks a tightrope between young love and revenge.

Entertainment Weekly (11/18/94, p.104) - "...filled with adult-female sexuality--although still not always of the most mature kind....hide-and-seek coyness is essential to TLC's attitude and allure....It would take a nation of millions to hold back the slinky 'Creep' from becoming a hit..." - Rating: B
