Review from allmusic.com
by Alex Henderson

Champaign had huge hits with 1981's "How About Us" and 1983's "Try Again,"
but by the late 1980s, the Illinois group was struggling. So Champaign turned
to the same Jackson, MS-based label that had been a refuge for Johnnie
Taylor, Denise LaSalle, Latimore and other soul veterans: Malaco. In 1990,
Champaign signed with Malaco and recorded IV, its first album since 1984's
Woman In Flames. Lead singer Pauli Carman had been recording as a solo
artist, and returned to the band for this decent but not earth-shattering
release. Instead of jumping on the new jack swing bandwagon and adding an
abundance of rapping, Champaign pretty much sticks with the type of pop-
flavored R&B it had been recording since the early 1980s. Although
Champaign uses a lot of keyboards and drum machines, R&B/adult
contemporary tunes like "Belong," "Teardrops Fall" and "Trials of the Heart"
aren't much different from the songs Champaign had done for its Columbia
debut almost ten years earlier. The production is high-tech, but the writing is
pretty much the same. IV was ignored by urban contemporary radio, and
adult contemporary radio wasn't very responsive either.
