Rhythm and Blues Xmas Ball Recap: A Heartfelt Trip Back to the 90s
This yearly Rhythm and Blues Christmas Concert showcased a lineup of performers known for their holiday albums. Instead of focusing on seasonal songs, the evening served as a nostalgic reason for a voyage back to the sincere and emotional style of 1990s R&B.
Opening Acts: Classic Feelings
The group Dru Hill delivered classic R&B in matching attire, with music videos from the 2000s playing on screens behind them. Following this, a set of primarily slow jams from Joe set the stage for the main acts.
The Powerful Performance
The beginning of the song Last Last skillfully transitioned into He Wasnāt Man Enough, tying in Braxton's musical legacy. At first, her performance with a live band seemed anchored in the time period of her peak success.
Then, deep into her set, she spoke about her struggle with lupus and being told she might not perform live again. Performing Breathe Again in a single spotlight, she gave a profoundly emotional moment. āFor as long as I live, I will never forget tonight,ā she stated sincerely.
Driving guitar chords then catapulted the audience into Long As I Live, cementing her grip over the audience's hearts. She finished with an impeccable, though slightly abridged, version of her signature hit, Un-break My Heart.
Boyz II Men: Vocal Virtuosos
Taking the stage in dazzlingly matching white suits, Boyz II Men opened with Motownphilly. They performed hits like Water Runs Dry and On Bended Knee, demonstrating awe-inspiring three-part harmonies that were both precise and responsive to their live band.
Their set featured interpretations of influences, such as a memorable solo on Purple Rain, and songs influenced by them, like Bruno Marsās Locked Out of Heaven.
A Dash of Christmas Cheer
Towards the end, the concert turned to the Christmas theme with renditions of Silent Night and Let It Snow. The show concluded with a strong closing run of hits including One Sweet Day, Iāll Make Love To You, and End of the Road.
Final Thoughts
Although the night's production experienced some hiccups, and the sense at points was of artists performing a tribute to their younger selves, the overall effect was transformative. The audience was briefly taken back to the peak era of R&B, going home sprinkled with glitter rather than frost.
