New Beginning is the second studio album by American R&B female trio SWV.

The last single, "It's All About U", found Taj taking most of the lead as opposed to Coko.

New Beginning was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

AllMusic senior editor Stephen Thomas Erlewine found that "the group does take a different approach on New Beginning, backing away from the New Jack grooves that dominated their debut and exploring a more direct, organic R&B vibe.

But the true strength of New Beginning is the vocal capabilities of SWV [...] There may be a couple of weak spots on the album, but the trio's considerable talents make those moments easy to forgive.
