The Moment of Truth, the second and final Milli Vanilli album, was released in its original form only in Europe.

[edit] History

The album includes the original singers from the first album, but with the actual singers on the cover instead of Rob Pilatus and Fab Morvan. Charles Shaw lost the ability to record for this Milli Vanilli album after being paid for silence regarding his involvement with the first Milli Vanilli album.

Moment Of Truth spawned three singles, "Keep On Running," "Nice 'N' Easy" and "Too Late (True Love)." In addition, the album features rappers Icy Bro on "Hard As Hell" and Tammy T on "Too Late (True Love)." A Diane Warren-penned song, "When I Die," has been covered by several other artists, including Farian's No Mercy.

A potential source of confusion is the title: The spine for the album indicates that it is titled "Keep On Running", but the cover and CD say "The Moment of Truth". For the US release, this album was re-recorded with Ray Horton on lead vocals and retitled "Try 'N' B".
