Wow, these songs felt like they were just released yesterday!
“Oldies but goodies” – that’s how I’d describe the songs of the 90s.
One of the highlights of 2016 was when TLC and SWV came down to the Philippines to give a one-night show only at Araneta Coliseum! Their show was packed and we were privileged to hear our favorite songs like No Scrubs, Right Here, Waterfalls, live!
The phenomenal Sisters With Voices, the band behind the hit songs Weak and Right Here.
So, just to give you more hits from the 90s, strap on your seatbelts while I take you down memory lane. These songs will turn 20 this year!
