Try 'N' B was a pop group formed by Frank Farian in Germany in 1992. It consisted of Gina Mohammed, Ray Horton, Tracy Ganser and Kevin Witherspoon. Their debut album, Sexy Eyes (self-titled for U.S.), was their only release.

The majority of songs from their album are covers from the second (The Real) Milli Vanilli album, The Moment of Truth (1990). While none of the members of Try 'N' B sang on Milli Vanilli's debut album, Gina Mohammed and Ray Horton were featured on the The Moment of Truth. Twin sisters Linda and Jodie Rocco sang the majority of the female backing vocals on the first and second Milli Vanilli releases, as well as on the Try 'N' B album.

Depending on the regional cover artwork, the artist was labelled as either Try 'N' B, Try NB or Try N B. The album art was changed shortly following release in Germany, with the group picture on the front swapped.

The songs "Keep On Running," "Body Slam," "The End Of Good Times" and "Nice 'N' Easy" were featured on the U.S. release, but were replaced with "Cherish Your Love," "Keep On Pushing Me," "Family Affair," "Tell Me Why" and "Good Time." on the worldwide release. The album was released by BMG internationally and through RCA in the U.S. In Germany, the group released three singles: "Sexy Eyes", "Tell Me Where It Hurts" and "Ding Dong".
