Bell Biv DeVoe

Bell Biv DeVoe, often acronymized as BBD, is an iconic American music group that has been bringing its distinctive blend of R&B, hip-hop, and funk to the music scene since the early 1990s. The group, originally a splinter from the highly successful boy band New Edition, comprises Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins, and Ronnie DeVoe. They burst onto the scene with their debut album, "Poison," which became a crossover hit with its title track gaining immense popularity.

While their early work, including albums like "Hootie Mack" and the remix project "WBBD - Bootcity! The Remix Album," cemented their reputation, BBD continued to evolve and stay relevant through the years. Their signature sound, which they dubbed "new jack swing," is characterized by its mix of gritty and smooth melodies and has been influential in shaping the music of several later artists. With later releases like "BBD," the soundscape of Bell Biv DeVoe continued to resonate with fans old and new. In 2017, they released the album "Three Stripes =," which saw the group collaborating with fellow R&B stars SWV, and continued to reinforce their standing in the industry with tracks like "Run" and "I’m Betta," showcasing their ability to blend contemporary influences with their classic style.
