2.0 (98 Degrees album)

2.0 is the fourth studio album by American pop and R&B group 98 Degrees. It was released on May 7, 2013, marking their first studio album in thirteen years, following their 2000 album Revelation.

The album's title, 2.0, signifies the group's return and reinvention after their extended hiatus. While retaining their signature vocal harmonies, the album aimed to showcase a more mature and contemporary sound, reflecting the changes in the music industry and the members' personal growth over the intervening years.

2.0 features a blend of upbeat pop tracks and soulful ballads, exploring themes of love, relationships, and personal reflection. The lead single, "Microphone," was released prior to the album and aimed to reintroduce the group to a new generation of listeners while satisfying their existing fanbase.

While 2.0 represented a comeback effort for 98 Degrees, it did not achieve the same commercial success as their previous albums. However, it allowed the group to reconnect with their fans, tour, and continue their musical journey. The album's release was supported by various promotional appearances and performances.
