Welcome II Nextasy the second studio album by American R&B trio Next. It was released by Arista Records on June 20, 2000, in the United States where it reached gold status.[1]
AllMusic editor John Bush found that while "there's no breakout hit the quality of "Too Close," Next's sophomore album Welcome II Nextasy is smoother and features a better overall production than their debut. The trio's version of hip-hop-soul is just as explicit as before; from "Cybersex" to "Let's Make a Movie" to "Banned from TV," Next proves themselves the Barry White of the '90s."[2]Billboard remarked that "working again with Naughty By Nature's KayGee and others, Next goes for more originality vs. samples and tackles subjects both provocative and real [...] Those who like their R&B/hip-hop naughty – but still nice – won't be disappointed."[3]
