Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky, Mike, Ralph and Johnny celebrate 30+ years in the game with a new tour, and I was fortunate enough to catch New Edition live in concert.

Spin Cycle: Bobby Brown, The Masterpiece
Is the new album by Bobby Brown a “masterpiece?” Check out our review to see whether a 15 year layoff has been kind to the New Edition singer.

Friday Throwback: New Edition’s “If It Isn’t Love”
My buddy @prak_daddy alerted me to the fact that he purchased tickets to the New Edition concert. Big Money posted their early tour dates and they’ve since increased those dates, coming to the Bay Area in the summer. I’m going to have to try and figure out how to see these guys live. Also yesterday, I heard If It Isn’t Love, the hit-single from NE’s coming of age album Heartbreak, and figured it’d be a great Friday Throwback. The video features the Johnny Gill-version of New […]
New Edition Tour Dates (And Why You MUST See Them On Tour)
If you’re a fan of R&B music, there are very few groups out there who can still give you the whole package-great singing, classic showmanship. I can’t imagine you’ll get much better than New Edition. The 6-man supergroup reunited for real this year after several years spent pursuing a variety of solo pursuits, from reality TV (hi Bobby) to real estate (Ronnie…can you imagine getting ready to buy a house and it turns out your agent is 1/3 of BBD??) […]
Spin Cycle: Johnny Gill’s “Still Winning”
If you were born around the time Johnny Gill last released a solo album, you might be thisclose to starting driver’s ed classes. It’s been fifteen years since the soul singer released Let’s Get the Mood Right, which is a ridiculously long time to go between albums. Not to say JG has been sitting around letting the grass grow under him. He’s toured the country and released an album as 1/5 of New Edition, released another two albums with his […]
The Viewfinder: Johnny Gill’s “In the Mood”
JG is officially back, y’all. After a FIFTEEN YEAR absence, the lusty-voiced singer is back with a new single, “In The Mood” and an album called Still Winning. His seventh studio album overall, it arrives in stores and online on September 20th. The video for “In the Mood” is romantic and mellow, keeping in tandem with the song’s theme. Nice to see JG not trying to keep up with the (younger) Joneses by swathing his voice in Auto-Tune or hiring […]
Johnny Gill Hits the Comeback Trail with “In the Mood”
Guess what? JG still wants to rub you the right way. It’s a shame that someone as vocally gifted as Johnny Gill has such a small discography. His last solo release was 1996’s Let’s Get the Mood Right. Again, Johnny Gill has not released a solo album of new material in FIF. TEEN. YEARS. Granted, there have been two LSG albums and a New Edition album in that time period but, come on. T-Pain can put out an album every […]
