Boyz II Men Perform Tracks From ‘Twenty’, Discuss Album

Boyz II Men Walmart Soundcheck

Celebrating 20 years of making music together, Boyz II Men performed hits new and old for Walmart Soundcheck. The live set included ‘I Should Have Lied’, ‘More Than You’ll Ever Know’, ‘One Up For Love’, ‘Believe’, ‘One More Dance’ and ‘I’ll Make Love to You’.

During an interview, Wanya Morris, Shawn Stockman and Nathan Morris talked about their new album ‘Twenty’, bringing nostalgia to the project, teaming with Charlie Wilson on the CD’s lead single ‘More Than You’ll Ever Know’, re-recording many of their hits for the album, how they all have a unique role in the recording process, learning all aspects of the music biz, and more.

“The most memorable thing about being in the industry for 20 years is actually being together 20 years later,” Wanya said about the album. “It’s still about music, it’s still about love, mainly about love and all aspects of it. The best way to express it is through music and get people to really feel the vibe of it. Come with us on this journey.”

Boyz II Men’s Shawn Stockman On The State Of R&B

Boyz II Men

Shawn Stockman of Boyz II Men spoke with Creative Loafing in a Q&A, where the 38-year-old was asked to compare R&B music in 1991 when the group released their debut album ‘Cooleyhighharmony’ to R&B music in 2011. Stockman’s answer reflected the dearth in the genre at the moment.

The sad truth is that not many artists are creating great R&B records anymore, and if they are those are the songs that the labels are weeding out in the album finalization process in fear of the sound being dated. While many artists have their fans grow old with them, our fans grow old but they also pass our music down to their children, which allows our fan base to skew much younger than one would think. Given the fact that the sound of music has changed so much over the past 20 years, introducing our music to younger fans is almost like introducing a brand-new style of music.

“We have been waiting a long time to do something like this,” Nathan explained. “We feel spending a few days on a ship celebrating 20 years with our fans, friends and loved ones sounds really special.” Wanya added, “To relax, have a few drinks and spend quality time with our fans is what I’m looking forward to.”
