For Life (Soul for Real album)

For Life is the second studio album by American R&B group Soul for Real. It was released on September 24, 1996, by Uptown Records and MCA Records. The album marked a change in the group's sound, shifting away from the New Jack Swing influences of their debut towards a more mature and contemporary R&B style, incorporating elements of hip hop and neo-soul.

While not achieving the same commercial success as their debut album, Candy Rain, For Life featured notable singles such as "Never Felt This Way" and "Every Little Thing I Do." The album showcased the vocal harmonies of the four Dalyrimple brothers and featured production from prominent figures in the R&B and hip hop scenes of the time. For Life explores themes of love, relationships, and personal growth. It is considered by some fans as a solid offering that demonstrated the group's evolution, although it didn't propel them to the same level of mainstream recognition.
