Clever cross-marketing has the release of Dedicated coinciding with the airing of new episodes of the girls' TV Guide Network reality show Still Holding On but really the timing is not that critical considering that the songs included here are timeless...

Enjoying renewed interest since their cameo in last year's hit comedy Bridesmaids, the trio best known for early 1990s hits like Hold On, Release Me and You're in Love is back with a new album featuring covers of songs by the legendary bands their parents were members of. Respectively the daughters of The Beach Boys' Brian Wilson and of The Mamas & the Papas' John and Michelle Phillips, Carnie and Wendy Wilson and Chynna Phillips have a way with vocal harmonies, no doubt...

No, they're not a WASP law firm. Instead, you might call the threeyoung women in this group pop music princesses. That's because two ofthem are daughters of Beach Boy Brian Wilson; the parents of thethird are John and Michelle Phillips of the Mamas and the Papas.They've been friends since they were babies. But calling them "princesses" isn't quite fair. Their liveshaven't been easy. You can guess that even if you haven't readbiographies of their parents...
