So many girl groups have come and gone in ‘90s R&B; that keeping them straight is a true challenge. This youthful trio is the latest arrival, but little distinguishes it from Destiny’s Child, Total and the rest. Its sweetly angelic “Lately,” the nation’s No. 1 single, is pleasant, but the pouty petulance the girls apply to George Michael’s “One More Try” does the moody ballad a big disservice.
