There is no word on what songs will be covered by Boyz II Men on the new album.� Their previous album, "Winter / Reflections," had covers from groups such as Chemistry, Kobukuro, and EXILE, so it probably safe to assume that part two will also contain a nice blend of urban and pop selections.

As a example of their previous cover work, here is the Boyz II Men version of Kobukuro's "Koko ni Shikasakanai Hana" : Flowers Blooming
