The world formally met Jodeci when Forever My Lady landed on store shelves on May 28, 1991. It was notably produced by DeVanté Swing and Al B. Sure! Rallying an already rabid fanbase, the record bowed at #1 on the Billboard Top R&B Albums Chart and climbed into the Top 20 of the Billboard 200. In total, it spent 83 weeks on the Billboard 200, registering “one of the longest runs on the respective chart by a nineties male R&B group.” This body of work introduced the inimitable chemistry between the quartet—DeVanté Swing, Mr. Dalvin, K-Ci, and JoJo. Their smooth harmonies and uncanny vocal power uplifted songs like “Forever My Lady,” “Come & Talk To Me,” and “Stay,” to name a few. Among many highlights, “Forever My Lady” spent 20 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100, breaking into the Top 25 frame.
Emerging as a phenomenon, the album eventually achieved a 3x-Platinum certification from the RIAA and has surpassed 548 million global streams so far. Earning retrospective praise, Okayplayer hailed Forever My Lady as “The Album That Reinvigorated R&B,” while ESSENCE attested, “Three decades later, ‘Forever My Lady’ is revered as a classic and the album that cemented Jodeci into music history.” The Root professed, “Jodeci’s Forever My Lady album changed the game.”
The 35TH Anniversary Edition offers a complete vision of Forever My Lady. Beyond the show-stopping and soul-stirring “Stay – A Capella,” it boasts “Come & Talk To Me – Radio Remix,” “I’m Still Waiting – Swing Mob Radio Mix,” and the acoustic “Forever My Lady – Live From Uptown MTV Unplugged/1993.”
Last year, Jodeci unveiled the 30TH Anniversary Edition of The Show, the After Party, the Hotel. Looking back, Shatter The Standards raved, “Jodeci’s third album was an ambitious concept record that captured the group’s gospel-fired vocals and hip-hop swagger in equal measure.”
Jodeci logged a 21st century hit with “My Heart Belongs to U” during 2024. It inspired 9 million “creates” across social media, leading to over 3.3 billion cumulative views. Thus far, it has reeled in 131 million global streams.
Back in 2022, the iconic multiplatinum R&B group comprised of K-Ci, DeVanté, Jojo, and Mr. Dalvin, reunited under management by P Music Group (Michael Paran) and immediately teamed up with Charlie Wilson and New Edition for The Culture Tour.
2023 saw Jodeci launch and headline the sold-out Summer Block Party Tour with SWV and Dru Hill. During 2024, they hosted their very own Las Vegas residency named after their magnum opus. “The Show, The After Party, The Vegas Residency” packed the House of Blues at the Mandalay Bay Resort, selling out each performance.
Jodeci continues to make waves, surpassing 2 million monthly Spotify listeners and amassing over 2.7 billion global streams. With a legacy that resonates through time, they’ve cemented their place in R&B history and in the hearts of fans, ranking as the third most-streamed 90s male R&B group in the U.S.
