Ready or Not by After 7 — cover art

With smooth harmonies that could melt butter and lyrics that linger like a sweet summer breeze, After 7 has been a staple of contemporary R&B since the late '80s. Hailing from the United States, the group features brothers Melvin and Kevon Edmonds, alongside their friend Keith Mitchell. The Edmonds brothers, who just happen to be kin to the legendary Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds, were under the Virgin Records umbrella right from the start. They burst onto the scene with infectious tracks like "Ready or Not" and "Can't Stop," captivating fans with their rich vocal blend. After a hiatus, they reemerged with a new energy, and their 2016 album "Timeless" proved they still have that magic touch. Every note carries a nostalgia that invites you to sway and reminisce, reminding us why After 7 still resonates in our hearts.
