The long wait is over!! The boys from '98 Degrees' (Nick Lachey, Drew Lachey, Jeff Timmons, & Justin Jeffre) who melted our hearts back in the '90's with their boy band hits like "I Do" and "My Everything," have officially reentered the music scene yesterday (May 7th) with the release of their new album '2.0' 2.0 marks the fifth overall studio album for '98 Degrees' and their first LP release in over a decade. The latest from the reunited and all-grown-up soulful quartet features 11 brand new songs, plus 2 newly recorded, bonus acoustic versions of their Gold and Platinum singles "Because of You" and "Invisible Man." Also included are the two previously debuted singles: "Microphone" and "Girl's Night Out."

Will the 2.0 version of '98 Degrees' set the boys up for a hot comeback or has the heat cooled off over the years? Read More »
