Jodeci wasn’t the first soul singing R&B group to turn tales of lust and love into music. Their innovation was adding sinewy gospel-tinged harmonies and raunch unlike any R&B previously recorded, and trading in the usual coordinated tailored suits for leather vests, baggy jeans, and combat boots. Their message was clear from the beginning: They were not the typical straight-laced R&B group. While Boyz II Men were careful to be not too hard and not too soft, Jodeci had their shirts off and were ready for anything.
Jodeci, comprising two sets of brothers – Donald “DeVante” DeGrate Jr. and Dalvin “Mr. Dalvin” DeGrate, and Cedric “K-Ci” Hailey, and Joel “JoJo” Hailey” – got their respective starts singing in southern churches and touring on the gospel music circuit. The North Carolina boys eventually found each other and formed Jodeci – an amalgamation of their names – and made their way to New York City to pursue secular music. The rest is history.
Andre Harrell signed them to Uptown Records, where Al B. Sure helped to finesse their songwriting and production, and Sean “Puff Daddy” Combs helped them engineer what became their signature aesthetic – R&B with a hip-hop edge. They released their 1991 debut album, Forever My Lady to critical acclaim. Their sophomore album, Diary of a Mad Band followed in 1993. Their third album, The Show, The After Party, The Hotel came out in 1995, and their fourth album, The Past, The Present, The Future came out in 2015.
They achieved multi-platinum success during their run and established themselves as the fathers of modern R&B. They also inspired generations of groups who followed, including Dru Hill, Jagged Edge, and more. Now, decades later, it’s clear their formula has withstood the test of time.
Here, we celebrate Jodeci in the name of the woo-yeah with a breakdown of 15 of their best songs.
The New R&B
Producer savant DeVante Swing worked with Al B. Sure to craft the sultry, groundbreaking sound of Jodeci’s debut album. On “Come and Talk to Me,” they flipped the beat from EPMD’s “You’re a Customer” to make it more R&B and added lyrics that have become the hallmark of beckoning a crush. The hook, specifically, gave lots of lotharios the courage (and words) they needed to woo potential paramours.

“Stay” begins with DeVante talking in the intro, setting up what was to come as K-Ci and Jojo warbled about resetting a broken love affair. Think of it as a sexy apology in the key of G with lots of oh-ho’s and woo-yeah’s. The album’s title track, meanwhile, found the bad boys of R&B showcasing their softer side. They toned down the raunch to croon about the preciousness of family and bringing new life into the world.
Hot Sex on a Platter
Jodeci was highly skilled at singing about sex and, by their third studio album, they turned it up even more. Their album, The Show, The After Party, The Hotel was about life on the road, and “Freek’N You” was the type of song that could make any steadfast Jodeci fan feel like the group was singing specifically about them. It’s also a good contender for one of the sexiest songs of all time. They come in hot in the beginning of the song with a bold, straight to the point opener: “Every time I close my eyes, I wake up feeling so horny, I can’t get you out of my mind, cuz sexing you is all I see.”

The only thing steamier than the original “Freek’N You” is “Freek’N You (Remix),” which featured Wu-Tang. Raekwon tops the opening line of the original song with a new way to describe a curvy body: “You got stacks like the international house of pancakes.” It’s poetic and erotic, it’s hip-hop and R&B.
“Feenin,” from their sophomore album, took the popular slang at the time and applied it to sex. Colloquially speaking, “feening” typically means to yearn for something intensely or to be addicted to something, and was often used in describing drug addicts. In Jodeci-speak, feenin refers to being addicted to someone sexually. The lyrics make it clear that they’d give up money, houses, and cars for one hit (of her).
The Classics
There’s a popular internet meme that reads, “If the love doesn’t feel like 90s R&B then I don’t want it.” Whoever created that phrase was probably listening to “Love U 4 Life.” It’s another DeVante Swing ballad that still gets lots of play as a wedding song. The robust four-part harmony in the chorus screams passion and makes promises of a love that will last forever.
Most of Jodeci’s works were original compositions but they borrowed “Lately” from Stevie Wonder’s canon and remade it their own image. 90s TV fans may also remember that moment from Martin when Martin Lawrence hilariously crashes Jodeci’s performance of this song on the fictional Varnell Hill Show.
“Cry For You” is some high-powered melodic begging. The title makes it clear that they are pining for a lover who has been gone for way too long. (An hour to be exact.) The ending of the song is capped with one of the most classic lines in R&B – “Baby, I’m begging, baby I”m begging, begging, begging” – sung in four-part harmony. Rivaling that level of epic is the music video set in a desert, which sees most of the group in some variation of a leather jacket, leather vests, and combat boots.
“Gotta Love,” meanwhile, fits into Uptown Records’ signature new jack swing sound. It’s one of Jodeci’s more uptempo songs and proved they could switch up from ballads to a more hip-hop sound. “Alone” almost sounds like a four-minute interlude. It’s all about, you guessed it, sex, but the sound was a blueprint that many male-led 90s R&B groups would follow. Mr. Dalvin even raps at the end, showcasing yet another talent.

“My Heart Belongs to U” opens with DeVante delivering a sexy intro speech, something he did often, before the group kicks into high gear. Here, K-Ci and Jojo pick up the metaphorical mic to profess their love for a special lady. Most of Jodeci’s classic songs are timeless but “Play Thang” is distinctly New Jack Swing. Blending funky singing and rapping, it closely follows the template of the genre to great effect.
Motivational Melodies
“Get On Up” is a rarity in Jodeci’s catalog: It’s a song that’s rated E for everyone, simply celebrating having a good time. Crank up this motivational bop at the next cookout and watch everyone two-step.

“Nobody Wins,” from their 2015 album, not only marked a comeback for Jodeci after years of not putting out new material, it was also an evolution. DeVante’s production was more mature and they ditched sex this go-round to denounce domestic violence. It was still Jodeci, but with all they had been through in their respective personal lives, it made sense that they wanted to release a song on a more positive note.
Listen to the expanded editions of Forever My Lady and Diary of a Mad Band now.

like seriously, i swear the things shrink every generation. i lost one of mine last week and spent an hour tearing apart my apartment only to find it stuck to the bottom of my sock (dont ask). its not even like they sound better for being tiny, they just get more annoying to handle. and dont get me started on the 'tap to control' nonsense — half the time im accidentally pausing my music when i try to adjust them. bigger isnt always better but maybe we could stop at 'still fits in my hand without vanishing into another dimension'? anyone else think this is getting ridiculous or am i just cursed with butterfingers?

like, like every other track is trying to sound like it’s from the 80s or 90s and half the time im like… were you even alive then?? it’s weird when the production is so polished it feels fake-retro. but then again i lowkey love some of those synthwave-y tracks so im part of the problem. whats worse is when theyre clearly pandering but idk man i think im just salty bc some of these artists are younger than the trends theyre copying. still, if it slaps it slaps. whats a song that actually does the throwback thing well without feeling forced?

After Saturday at Governors Ball was cut short due to severe weather and multiple artists had their sets cut, Sunday also had a weather-related delay, although thankfully a brief one. Sets were temporarily paused around 1:45pm because of lightning in the area, but they were able to resume not long after, and the rest of the day happened as scheduled, and with the addition of Blood Orange, after he was cut from Saturday. A$AP Rocky made the most of the big stage with his headlining set with a troop of dancers, a bullhorn, a helicopter and American flags, telling the crowd, “I came to get disrespectful” (Rihanna was also seen watching). He took the stage late and got cut off early, but before that he delivered a career-spanning set that included lots of songs from his January album Don’t Be Dumb. Sunday at Governors Ball also included sets from Geese, Japanese Breakfast (who revealed that she’s pregnant), Slayyyter, Clipse, Fcukers, Hemlocke Springs, Hot Mulligan, Jennie, Freddie Gibbs, Rachel Chinouriri, Hannah Jadagu, Holly Humberstone, and more. See pictures from the whole day (most are by Ellen Qberplaya, Freddie Gibbs photo by Rich Fury) below.

Wishy have announced Nature’s Pill, their second album, which will be out October 2 via Winspear. The worked again with Triple Seven co-producer Ben Lumsdaine in this one.
The first single from the album is “Lovesick” which gives off strong ’80s alt-rock vibes. “There’s not much more that needs to be said about yearning in 2026, but here it is anyway,” singer-guitarist Nina Pitchkites says. “Kevin and I are stupidly romantic people who like twee pop so that combination alone was a recipe for a cheeky ‘main character’ song. We really leaned into the overzealous lyrics here because 1) we’re allowed, 2) can do whatever we want and 3) it’s fun
yay!” Watch the video below.
Wishy have also announced a fall tour which includes an NYC show at Racket on October 17. Tickets for all fall dates go on sale Friday, June 12 at 10 AM. The band are also on tour with The Beths and Beach Bunny, and all dates are listed below.
