soundtrack. However, the album peaked at U.S. #189.
The group's third album Time and Chance was released in November 1993. A hugely ambitious project, consisting of nineteen new tracks, this album represented a slight shift in musical style for Color Me Badd. Working with top producers including David Foster
, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis
, a more soulful and funky sound had clearly emerged. Although some critics gave it positive reviews, the album did not fare well on the Billboard Album Charts, peaking at #56.

The group re-emerged in 1996 with their fourth album called Now and Forever. With high-profile producers including Narada Michael Walden
, Babyface, Jon B and Boyz II Men

The album produced one major hit single, "The Earth, The Sun, The Rain," which peaked at U.S. #19. However, it became a popular airwave staple and remained on the Billboard Charts for 19 weeks (the group's second-most-enduring single). The second single, "Sexual Capacity," was a minor hit and appeared on the soundtrack to the Demi Moore
film Striptease
. This song was co-produced by Robin Thicke
under the name Rob Thicke.
After moving to Epic Records
, Color Me Badd's fifth album, Awakening, was released in July 1998. Remaining true to their R&B roots, they again received critical acclaim for their vocal harmonies. "Remember When" achieved minor success on radio and has a companion video shot as well.
