 The album was anchored by "Stay," a single featuring Theo Peoples on lead and including a sample from "My Girl," which became a number-one hit on the urban adult contemporary charts.Peoples was fired from the group before the release of "Phoenix Rising" because of issues with drug addiction, and was replaced by Barrington "Bo" Henderson.Henderson lip-synched to Peoples's vocals in the "Stay" music video, and the completed album features lead vocals on different tracks by both Henderson and Peoples.
