Ce Ce Peniston takes us back to the '90s with her album Thought 'Ya Knew. If you're a fan of dance music, you've likely heard one or two songs from this album. As I took a dive into this album, I discovered its highs and lows. In this blog, I will share with you a brief history of the artist, the music genre of the album, the best songs of the album, the most innovative parts, and my overall critic of the album.

Ce Ce Peniston was a prominent figure in the dance-pop scene during the '90s. She rose to fame after her hit single Finally which reached number five on the Hot 100 chart. Peniston then released her debut album in 1992 Finally. The album was a commercial success and solidified her reputation as a dance-pop artist. A few years later, Peniston released Thought 'Ya Knew album, which sold a million copies worldwide.

The album Thought 'Ya Knew is primarily a blend of pop, dance-pop, and R&B genres. Most of the songs on the album are mid-tempo dance-pop tracks, with catchy rhythms that make you want to hit the dance floor. The album's opening track, I'm in the Mood, sets the tone for the album with its upbeat tempo and memorable chorus. The album also includes some R&B ballads, such as What He Does and No One Else, which showcase Peniston's vocal range and versatility as an artist.

Thought 'Ya Knew has some exceptional tracks that stood the test of time. My favorite tracks from the album are Hit by Love, House Party, and Keep on Walkin'. Hit by Love is a feel-good song with an unforgettable melody and a great dance beat. House Party has a unique vibe that will take you back to '90s house parties. Keep on Walkin' is probably the most popular track on the album and was also a commercial hit for Ce Ce, reaching number one on the Dance Club Songs chart. The track features a contagious rhythm and a powerful chorus that makes you want to sing along.

One innovative feature of Thought 'Ya Knew is the use of live instruments combined with electronic elements. The use of live instruments like guitar, bass, and drums, adds an organic element to the tracks, setting them apart from other dance-pop albums of that time. The album's producer, Felipe DJ Wax Dawg Delgado, blended different electronic elements that complement the live instrumentation to create a unique sound for the album.

Overall, I think Thought 'Ya Knew is an excellent album that showcases Peniston's artistry and versatility. The album might not be groundbreaking, but it is a solid work from an artist who knows how to make great dance-pop music. If you're looking for an album to dance your blues away, then Thought 'Ya Knew should be on your playlist.
