The tour, powered by the Black Promoters Collective, begins Feb. 22 in Macon, Georgia. From there, the R&B singers will make stops in Atlanta, Chicago, Baltimore, Charlotte and Philadelphia, before concluding April 14 in Southhaven, Mississippi.
On Sept. 22, 2023, K. Michelle released her final R&B album, I’m The Problem. The 19-track offering includes her radio hit “Scooch,” which reached No. 1 on Billboard’s Adult R&B Airplay chart and No. 1 at R&B radio.
As far as Riley, she appeared on Omarion’s 2023 album, Full Circle: Sonic Book One. In a 2023 interview with Rated R&B, producer Harmony Samuels confirmed that has new music in the works with Riley.
“Everyone knows Amber can sing her butt off, but this album shows that she’s a true artist, and some elements of [Fantasia’s] Side Effects of You are in this project I’m working with Amber. I’m super excited,” Samuels told Rated R&B.
Riley released her debut EP, RILEY, in 2020. The six-track project included a feature with BJ The Chicago Kid.
“I was once asked, ‘what do you want people to be doing when they listen to your music? I approached every song with that question in mind,” Riley explained to Rated R&B. “I hope everyone is laughing, crying, dancing, and feelin’ themselves while listening to this EP.”
