Soul Flower is the sixth studio album by the American R&B/pop/soul girl group En Vogue. Released in February 2004, the album was released on the independent label 33rd Street. The album was produced by Denzil Foster and Thomas McElroy, and features the singles "Ooh Boy" and "I Do Love You (Piece of My Love)".
2004 marked the return of En Vogue with a new album and a new lineup. Original members Terry Ellis and Cindy Herron are joined by new member, actress and singer Rhona Bennett. The new line-up continued to showcase En Vogue's trademark harmonies, adding a mature attitude that's still sexy and strong. Bennett replaced Amanda Cole who recorded ten of the fifteen tracks with Herron and Ellis; these would later be re-recorded with Bennett who replaced all of Cole's leads on the album.
Five additional tracks were then added to complete the album. The song "Stop" as well as the lead single "Losin' My Mind" were brought in by Bennett, "Ez-a-Lee" was an additional track added by the group's new management, while "Ooh Boy" and "New Day Calling'" were brought to the project by the record company.
Following its release, Soul Flower went on to sell 35,000 copies and failed to chart on the Billboard 200. The album reached #47 on the charts for Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and #15 on Billboard's Independent Albums chart.
The album's lead single, "Losin' My Mind", failed to chart anywhere, while second single "Ooh Boy" only charted at #109 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #101 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts. Since its release, the album has sold over 300,000 copies within the U.S. to date, according to Nielsen SoundScan and gold status by the US RIAA
