It debuted at number one on the US Top R&B Albums chart, and at number eight on the Billboard 200, while peaking at number four on the UK Albums Chart.^[5] It reached triple platinum status in the US, where it sold 5 million copies, becoming the seventh highest-selling R&B albums of the year as well as En Vogue's biggest-selling album to date.^[2] Funky Divas spawned five singles, including "My Lovin' (You're Never Gonna Get It)", Aretha Franklin cover "Giving Him Something He Can Feel", "Free Your Mind", "Give It Up, Turn It Loose," and "Love Don't Love You".

The group's third album, EV3, their first project as a trio following the departure of Dawn Robinson, was released in June 1997.

A commercial disappointment, it debuted and peaked at number 33 on the US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and at number 67 on the Billboard 200, a considerable drop from their previous efforts.^[8] Internationally, the album failed to enter the top forty on the majority of the few charts it appeared on, through it reached number 22 and number 28 of the German and Swiss Albums Charts, where it ranks among the band's highest peaks in both countries.^[9][10] While first and only single "Riddle" became a top thirty hit in several European countries, Elektra Records refused to release further singles after the weak overall performance of the project, resulting in their departure from the label.^[11]
