The R&B Lovers Tour assembles five of the most important voices in 1990s R&B for one of the most complete nostalgia tours the genre has produced. Keith Sweat built his career on slow jams that defined a template still in use today. Joe's tenor and catalog of hits made him one of the decade's most consistent chart performers. Dru Hill's harmonies and gospel-inflected soul gave the genre some of its most emotionally direct moments. Ginuwine's combination of neo-soul production and physical performance redefined what an R&B live show could be. Kut Klose brought close-harmony girl-group energy to a decade already dense with it.
State Farm Arena on August 29 brings all five together for a night that requires no explanation for anyone who was listening in the 90s. The songs hold up precisely because they were built for exactly this kind of room. August 29.
