“There’s been so much conversation about the state of R&B and the next generation of R&B artists. This generation has been giving us great R&B, and that feeling, that soul, and that sound remain in our DNA,” Blige revealed in a statement after signing the group. “When we heard WanMor sing, we knew we could stop looking. They are IT!”
“Supporting and cultivating true R&B talent is why I started Beautiful Life Productions, and I couldn’t be more proud to do this with these young men.” she added.
