Response

The R&B divas have teamed up for a spicy video for Evans' latest single "Make Love" and after just a minute into the video, it's clear these ladies are ready to take it to the bedroom. (Get into Keke and that whip!)"[10] The Source stated "R&B legends Faith Evans and Keke Wyatt bring sexy all the way back with the new visual for Make Love.""[4]
