Data Insight

K-Ci writes on four tracks here, more than on any other album, and JoJo on one. The pattern reverses for the only time: the brother who barely wrote on the debut carries what little member writing there is on the last MCA record.

Emotional came out on MCA in November 2002, their last album for the label. Thirteen tracks in 52:01, produced by Babyface, Rodney Jerkins, The Underdogs and others.
