98 Degrees

98 DegreesFor the harmony-driven group Ohio foursome 98 Degrees was not hard to get noticed. After all[1], for the past year, brothers Nick and Drew Lachey, Justin Jeffre and Jeff Timmons have been busy working crowds worldwide due to[2] the success of their self-titled debut album. Their new album, which finds the group collaborating with the biggest music producers, is sure to have them heating up the charts again.

Jeff, a native[3] of Ohio, formed a vocal group and one of its former members, who were also a classmate of Nick and Justin from the Cincinnati School for Creative and Performing Arts, suggested Nick would be the perfect counterpart. Justin was next to join the group, followed by Drew.

With a host of major producers-- including The Trackmasters, Pras of the Fugees, Keith Thomas, Anders Bagge-contributing to 98 Degrees AND RISING, the album spans the worlds of hip-hop influenced R&B and pop to Euro dance and beyond. With 98 Degrees AND RISING, they have entered the next stage of their flourishing career.

　　来自俄亥俄州的和声四人组合“98度”很引人注目。自他们成功地发行了以“98度”为标题的专辑后，兄弟俩Nick和Drew Lachey，Justin Jeffre和Jeff Timmons去年一直忙碌的奔波于全世界。他们与一些最有名气的制作人合作的新碟也将肯定是排行榜中的热门。

　　出生于俄亥俄州的Jeff组建了一个歌唱组合，其中的一个前成员，也就是Nick和Justin在辛西那提创作和表演艺术学校的一位同学，建议说Nick是个极为合适的人选。Justin随后也加入了组合，然后是Drew。

　　由于The Trackmasters，Pras of the Fugees，Keith Thomas，Anders Bagge几个举足轻重的制作人对98 Degrees AND RISING这张专辑做出的贡献，此专辑把受hip-hop影响的蓝调音乐和流行乐带入了欧洲舞曲以及其他。此专辑也使得他们进入了辉煌事业的下一个阶段。
