INTERVIEW: After 7

It’s no secret great music is timeless. Years might pass and you’d rock a great song in the same way you rocked it the day it dropped. Watching platinum selling R&B triad After 7 perform “Ready or Not” with Jazmine Sullivan during Babyface’s tribute at the last Soul Train Music Awards drew me back to their discography and I delightedly discovered they’d returned with a new single “I Want You”, with the promise of a new album in 2016. Combining original members brothers Kevon and Melvin Edmonds, Keith Mitchell and Melvin’s son Jason Edmonds along with the production prowess of Babyface and Daryl Simmons is bound to be another winning combination for recreating music magic.

I chatted with the funny trio recently about working with the dynamic duo of Babyface and LA Reid in the early days, growing up in Indianapolis, sharing stages with Patti Labelle and Whitney Houston, getting back in Babyface’s studio for an album that will hopefully drop by the end of the year and what we’d be surprised to know.
