The Group NEXT
The multi-platinum R&B group NEXT has been entertaining music fans with their soulful voices and energetic live performances for nearly three decades. Originally from Minnesota, NEXT's members T-Low and RL were first discovered by Kaygee of Naughty By Nature and signed to Arista Records in 1999 by the legendary Clive Davis.
Their debut album Rated NEXT produced the smash hit singles "Butta Love," "I Still Love You," and "Too Close" — which became Billboard's #1 Single of the Year and made NEXT a household name overnight. "Too Close" remains #1 on Billboard's "Hot 100 All Time Top Songs" and #4 on the magazine's "Sexiest Songs of All Time."
The group's sophomore album Welcome II NEXTasy was equally successful, with its first single "Wifey" topping the R&B singles charts. NEXT then joined Clive Davis at his newly launched J Records label, releasing their third album The NEXT Episode and producing songs for multiple movie soundtracks.
