SWV, an acronym for Sisters With Voices, is an American girl group that emerged in 1990. The trio became prominent figures in the new jack swing movement, blending elements of hip hop, soul, R&B, and dancehall into their sound. Known for their contemporary R&B style, SWV helped define the sonic landscape of early-1990s urban music. The group's fusion of rap-influenced rhythms with smooth vocal harmonies distinguished them within the competitive R&B market of their era.
