Multi-Award Winning R&B Soul Group AFTER 7 Celebrates The Release of Their Fifth Studio Album, “UNFINISHED BUSINESS”
The global pandemic may have brought many things to a halt, but not the musical passion of the R&B group After 7 and their desire to bring their fans new music- a new album that reaches far and beyond their signature style. The first single release, “Bittersweet,” was a fresh new take for After 7 and drew in a younger listening audience while still appealing to their loyal fan base. Followed by “No Place Like You“, “Extra Mile” and the recently released, “Tomorrow Can Wait“.
“Unfinished Business,” the fifth album in the After 7 catalog, combines love, heartbreak, and celebrations of the heart. Blending their signature smooth R&B style of true love and relationship songs, “Unfinished Business” is the album that will elevate R&B lovers to a different state of mind. The lead single, “Bittersweet,” is a song that delves into our favorite subject of Love, Life, and Relationships,” shares Kevon. “I am fairly certain that if you live life long enough, you’ll learn that you can’t have the sunshine without the rain,” he adds.
“No Place Like You was inspired by the thought of knowing that you can build a house with all the finest materials in the world with the best of everything in it. But in reality, it’s not these things that make a house a home. It’s the love from that special someone.” mentions the group. The album-opening track, “Extra Mile,” is guaranteed to you get you up out of your seat, grab a partner, and dance that extra mile into the next song.

ABOUT AFTER 7
Grammy and American Music Award nominees After 7 (Melvin Edmonds, Kevon Edmonds, and Keith Mitchell), best known for their dynamic and distinctive R&B sound, marked a 32-year musical milestone in 2021. In 1988, these three talented young men from Indianapolis, Indiana, were brought to Virgin Records by the legendary hit-making duo Antonio “L.A.” Reid and Kenneth’ Babyface’ Edmonds – Kevon and Melvin’s younger brother.
Their self-titled debut album went Platinum producing two #1 Billboard R&B singles and Certified Gold “Can’t Stop” and “Ready or Not.” Their sophomore project, “Takin’ My Time,” was certified Gold. In addition, After 7 released two singles – “Nights Like This” used in the film soundtrack “The Five Heartbeats” and “Not Enough Hours In The Night” from the T.V. soundtrack “Beverly Hills 90210”. Their third album, “Reflections,” of which the lead single, “Till You Do Me Right,” charted another Top 10 hit.
After a 20 year hiatus from the studio, the group members came together and recorded with the writing and production team of Kenneth ‘Babyface’ Edmonds and Daryl Simmons. They released the landmark album “Timeless,” which landed five Top 10 hits on the Billboard Urban A.C. Charts
In May 2019, the group mourned the sudden loss of Melvin Edmonds, the father of the gifted Jason Edmonds, who stepped in to continue the legacy in both live concerts and recordings until July 2019. Then, vocalist Danny’ SkyHigh’ McClain joined Kevon Edmonds and Keith Mitchell to create a masterful woven tapestry of music for SRG-ILS/RoseWorks. The first and second singles, “Bittersweet” and “No Place Like You,” are available on all platforms now and will be followed by the August 20 global release of the highly anticipated album titled “UNFINISHED BUSINESS.”
After 7 is an NAACP Image Award recipient and has received countless other awards and accolades. The group will continue to reach the hearts of fans worldwide and bring their message of passion and love through their music.
