After 7 is an iconic American R&B group that emerged in 1987, founded by brothers Melvin and Kevon Edmonds, alongside their friend Keith Mitchell. Their journey began when they were discovered by Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds, who not only named the group but also secured them a record deal with Virgin Records. Their self-titled debut album, released in 1989, was a monumental success, achieving platinum status and producing hit singles such as “Ready or Not” and “Can’t Stop,” both of which topped the R&B charts and showcased their smooth vocal harmonies.

Following their initial success, After 7 continued to build their reputation with their second album, “Takin’ My Time,” released in 1992. This album also achieved platinum status and featured the memorable medley “Baby, I’m for Real/Natural High.” Their ability to blend contemporary R&B with soulful melodies solidified their place in the music industry, earning them accolades such as an NAACP Image Award for Best New Male Artist.

After a brief hiatus in the late 1990s, After 7 made a triumphant return in 2016 with the album “Timeless,” which included three top 10 hits on the Adult R&B charts. This comeback not only demonstrated their enduring appeal but also showcased their evolution as artists, adapting to the changing musical landscape while retaining their signature sound.

Today, After 7 continues to captivate audiences with their electrifying performances and timeless music. Their legacy as one of the premier R&B groups remains intact, inspiring new generations of artists and fans alike with their rich harmonies and heartfelt lyrics.
