Written by: Terran Barnes

The legendary, four-time Grammy-winning group Boyz II Men will take the stage at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC) in Newark, NJ on January 15th, 2025 with soulful harmonies and classic R&B hits. With a career spanning over three decades, Boyz II Men—the group consisting of Nathan Morris, Wanya Morris, and Shawn Stockman—are ready to take audiences on a nostalgic journey, performing timeless songs that have contributed to shaping the R&B genre.

Boyz II Men began their journey in the late 1980s in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. They initially called themselves Unique Attraction and were inspired by artists like New Edition, who had popularized a mix of hip-hop and R&B sounds. In 1991, they released their debut album, Cooleyhighharmony, which blended R&B, hip-hop, and doo-wop and launched them into stardom. Their first major hit, "Motownphilly," an upbeat homage to Philadelphia and Motown music, was followed by the powerful ballad "It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday." Both songs showcased their unique harmonies and helped the album go multi-platinum, establishing Boyz II Men as a force in the music industry.

Boyz II Men, known for their intricate harmonies, emotional depth, acapella renditions and stage charisma have a way of bringing the crowd together, creating memorable and immersive concerts. This New Jersey tour stop promises a mix of nostalgia and fresh energy as the group shares stories from their career and reconnects with their diehard fans.

If you're an R&B fan or simply appreciate timeless music, this is a show you wouldn’t want to miss. Boyz II Men at NJPAC is bound to be a night of music, memories, and unmatched talent that will remind us why they remain R&B legends.
