      no it isn’t right however if the person puts in black in white all their intentions and the artist chooses to not read it , that’s their own fault!!! let’s normalize using our brains and not being so thirsty for a deal

      A lot of things happened but the main thing that killed that 90's R&B flavor was
      the 1996 Telecommunications act; in summary it basically killed black radio
      If urban divisions at these labels had no outlets to play their music, they eventually had to drop a lot of artists or fold (which is what happened!)

    The saddest and most consistent thing throughout most of these updates, is that SO many incredibly talented people were blindsided by unscrupulous companies in the business, and sometimes by friends & family! So many of these young people didn't understand that FIRST rule of the music industry, which is that it is FIRST & FOREMOST a BUSINESS! Not reading contracts, not understanding contracts, not understanding the business and not having anyone looking out for their interests killed the careers of so many incredibly talented people! It's such a sad commentary. The 80s & 90s produced some fabulous artists whose careers have just gone down in flames due to shady business dealings! It's incredible that so many have been ripped apart, but only slight legislation has been enacted to stem the tide of artist exploitation! NO real meaningful legislation exists to stop record labels, even now, from taking an artist's entire body of work and walking away with it like the artist didn't even matter!
    I wish these ladies the best. It's sad that it comes down to lawsuits when they were all so talented!

    when I saw everyone BUT Di was apart of “Jade” I was floored… & of course everybody was questioning Di’s on her IG about it. She said she “wasn’t invited” to perform with Jade & that’s when I KNEW there had to be some internal issues 😔. I hope they can make amends. They really help define a great era!

I mean Di cannot just expect the other two members to wait for her to get off tour. They still got bills too. Sounds like she was not consistent with the reunion and expected them to just wait for her.

Goes to show that not growing organically can be your downfall along with label issues.

    Jade, Brownstone, 702, Blaque, the list goes on. A group of females cannot get along. What female group has been around for an extended period of time? Is there a female version of The O'Jays, Frankie Beverly & Maze or The Manhattans?

      TLC and SWV have both been around for an extended period of time. After Left Eye’s passing in 2002 T-Boz and Chilli took breaks here and there but they never actually broke up. SWV broke up in 1998 but they reunited in 2005 and been together ever since. Both groups have been touring nonstop for the last 15+ years not to mention the album TLC released in 2017 and the 2 albums SWV released in 2012 and 2016. SWV also did 2 reality shows and is about to start filming a new one with Xscape next week which Kandi stated today. I’m impressed with both groups and they never replaced any members either. En Vogue had a good run too with Rhona but everyone prefers the original 4 which unfortunately I doubt will ever happen. They may reunite with Dawn and Maxine for specials but that’s about it.

    It's crazy how history can shape your perspective because I was introduced to Jade from "I Wanna Love U" through the movie in Class Act. Come to find out, Don't Walk Away was their biggest hit. I also think that any and all "marketing" costs should be approved by the artist(s) BEFORE anything is spent since it is coming out of their record sales revenue on the backend. Maybe that's wishful thinking tho

    Man, I'm an 80s kid but I'd still kill to return to the mid-90s. I used to think SWV and Jade were the same group (Don't ask), but One Woman was my jam. There was this friend of my sisters who LOVED these girls, and when the 54321 video came out she started copying their crop tops and braids. I always thought they were better than SWV (The only song of theirs I like is Weak) and wondered why Jade disappeared, but I hope they can sort their issues.

I still listen to Jade to the max today and the live album to help work on my own vocals and keep them up. I believe that's why I prefer SWV second album because that's the one with Lele and Taj actually singing lead on.
