| Grammy Nominated, Triple Platinum Artist Coko of SWV. |
Now moments like these are what I live for! No one could be more excited to hear of an SWV Reunion than me! I mean, seriously! I grew up listening to these divas turned pioneers, know every song VERBATIM! So when I got the chance to catch up with Coko at a viewing event for their new show
SWV Reunited airing on WeTV-of course I jumped on it! I had so many questions honey!

Hailing from New York, Coko, LeeLee & Taj started this journey not knowing their music would be legendary. Topping Billboard charts, Grammy Nominations & Triple Platinum Albums. Weak, Anything, Right Here, Can We, I mean, I can go on forever really. They defined a new generation of sisters! Sisters With Voices! Not only influential in music, but very much so in style and fashion too! So you know I asked about the nails. I addressed a rumor I heard. It was said that those nails were a result of Coko growing up in a very religious home and that was the only way she could express herself. "I painted them all different colors and grew them just to get on my Mothers nerves!" In speaking of style, Coko looked immaculate! Beautiful and glowing, appropaitely so!

SWV decided to part ways to pursue solo careers in 1998. Coko went on to produce three solo albums including a Gospel album entitled "Grateful." She also starred in a few plays, including the Vagina Monologues. When asked about the transition from music to acting she stated frankly "I hated it! Having to remember lines, it was alot" she said chuckling. 15 years later-it's back to the music and back to business! Releasing their latest album "I Missed Us" last year. We touched on the make up/break up of the group, and how it felt to be back together for their new show SWV Reunited. She told me it took some getting used too, as far as having the cameras rolling. Taj, Leelee and Coko really leave it all on the table for the world to see. Dealing with some hard hitting issue that include the stress of making a "Come Back", unresolved issues, problems with management and a really big health scare for Coko!
