3LW

R&B/Pop trio 3LW is back with their third album, ?Point Of No Return,? set to be released in late August. The group has had early success with their 1999 single "No More," and that debut album garnered them Best New R&B Artist and Album of the Year at the 2001 Lady of Soul Awards.

After a four-year hiatus, Kiely Williams (19), Adrienne Bailon (21), and new member Jessica Benson (18), are attempting to return to the top. In 2002 founding member Naturi Naughton announced that she was forced out of 3LW. After various auditions in Atlanta, LA, And New York, Jessica Benson made the cut bringing the group back to three little women.

Although 3LW fans have been fortunate to witness Kiely and Adrienne growing up on the small screen as Aqua and Chanel in Disney's "The Cheetah Girls" series, it's the group's latest musical effort that offers a glimpse into their evolution as artists and women. Sources say ?Point of No Return,? is a light-hearted, party starter that signifies the beginning of their young adulthood.

"The album's title also speaks to our personal growth in our careers," says Adrienne. "We're no longer teenagers and our decision to return to music is challenging and unpredictable, but there's no turning back."
