A Girl Can Mack is the second studio album by American girl group 3LW. It is their follow-up to the groups self-titled debut album, (2000). With the follow-up to their platinum self-titled debut, the group attempted to shed their youthful image and craft a mature look. The album combines both ballads and upbeat songs, with several serving as a declaration of equality in romantic relationships. The album was considered at lot "racier" and sexier than their debut.

Background


3LW spent the first half of 2002 in the studio, recording a follow-up to their eponymous debut album. Their second album, tentatively titled Same Game, Different Rules, was set to be released mid-2002, and its lead single "Uh Oh" was presented to the label, who felt it did not have enough urban radio appeal.[1] The tracks from Same Game, Different Rules were leaked to the Internet in MP3 format, and Epic considered dropping the girls. A fan support campaign for 3LW named 'Never Let Go Of 3LW' (after their song "Never Let Go") gained traction, and the act was retained, although Same Game, Different Rules remained shelved.

Recording a new set of tracks, the group returned in the summer of 2002 with the P. Diddy-produced single "I Do (Wanna Get Close To You)", featuring Loon in June. That same summer, the group performed a concert special on Nickelodeon titled Live on Sunset.


Naughton's departure and album release


By the summer of 2002, when the group was set to release A Girl Can Mack, member Naturi Naughton had left the group,[2] alleging that she had a number of conflicts and arguments with Bailon, Williams, and their management, which led to a heated argument in August 2002 involving an altercation with KFC food.[3][4] Not long after, Naughton claimed that she was forced out of the group.[5]

Williams and Bailon continued as a duo while using the "3LW" name, causing the press to jokingly refer to them as "2LW".[2] According to a cover story for the October 2002 issue of Sister 2 Sister magazine, Williams and Bailon said they received death threats and that they had to beef up security. The departure of Naughton greatly affected the group's popularity and album sales. A Girl Can Mack's release date was pushed back a month, but sales were still disappointing debuting at No. 15 on the Billboard 200 with a disappointing 53,000 copies sold in the first week.[6] By March 2003 the album had sold 176,000 copies in the US.[7] After the second single released from the album, "Neva Get Enuf", underperformed, auditions were held across the country for a new third member. Jessica Benson made the cut and joined 3LW in early 2003.

[ru] A Girl Can Mack

A Girl Can Mack — второй студийный альбом американской R&B группы 3LW, выпущенный в 2002 году. Альбом был выпущен через несколько месяцев после того, как одна из участниц группы, Нэтьюри Нотон, заявила о своём уходе[1]. Несмотря на это, в песнях альбома звучит её голос. A Girl Can Mack по продажам значительно уступил первому альбому группы, 3LW. Несмотря на хорошие отзывы, альбом стартовал на 15-м месте в чарте Billboard 200 и был продан лишь в количестве 176 000 экземпляров[2]. В записи альбома принимали участие Loon, Lil Wayne и Lil’ Kim. Включает в себя два сингла: «I Do (Wanna Get Close To You)» и «Neva Get Enuf».
