Itâs been two decades since Eve, Ruff Ryders first lady, released her sophomore album Scorpion. To commemorate the album sheâs released it as a digital deluxe version in March of this year and on April 16th released a 2LP vinyl reissue, with 100 exclusive signed copies.Â
Itâs hard to imagine a time when youâd go to a club and the Grammy award-winning song âLet Me Blow Your Mindâ didnât start playing. And once everything is officially opened up again post-Covid, Iâm sure we can expect to hear the familiar beat again. The iconic teaming up of rapper Eve and singer Gwen Stefani was legendary and boosted Eve up as a versatile artist. Itâs probably one of the first songs people think of when they think of Eve.Â
The first half of the album is loud with horns and drums introducing the album. Eve comes in powerful with melodic choruses that stay with you. In the second half, things slow down and Eveâs range of vocals really comes through.Â
Of the reissue, Eve said in a press release, âItâs crazy itâs been 20 years since Scorpion dropped! I remember the whole process of putting that album together, so many great moments and working with amazing artists and producers, and of course winning a Grammy! And tracks that have lasted the test of time musically…Perfect time for a re-releaseâ.Â
The reissue includes the original tracklist with featured artists like DMX, Teena Marie, Styles, and more. It also includes four new remixes, one of âLet Me Blow Your Mindâ, and three of âWhoâs That Girl?â. Out of the remixes, the CLAS remix of âWhoâs That Girl?â seems to be the most different from the original, bringing in an elevated sound to the hit song.Â
The reissue has proven that Eveâs music stood the test of time. Itâs not a reintroduction; itâs a reminder that Eve is a forceful rapper and soulful singer. ‘Scorpion’ undoubtedly will be played and celebrated for another 20 years.
And if youâre still asking âWhoâs That Girl?â, you should absolutely get yourself an album.Â
