2000年後的團體，還不錯 It's a rare thing to hear R&B nowadays with the right mixture of vocal ability & class combined. That's why it's a joy to finally hear that Fortune, the newest 4-man powerhouse group from New York City is on the music scene in a very big way. Forming by way of Michael "Vegas" Harrison, the Harlem-born music producer who has written & produced records for the likes of R&B divas Zhane' to the Wu Tang Klan's Raekwon The Chef to Quincy Jones's pop protege Michael Fredo, the group was groomed with the type of artist development unseen since the days of Berry Gordy's Motown. "Their management, Mastermind, was very instrumental in that part...making sure practices & shows were just as important as our studio sessions." Vegas is quoted as saying. "I've been in the game long enough to know that talent only matters when the heart & desire is there to take it the rest of the way." And heart & desire is surely the fuel that drives these talented young men. Sule, Austin, Shai & Bouie have all been in the music game for years either individually or at times together trying to get their big break. "It takes years to put anything together that is going to last. Nothing or no one makes it overnight." Their upbringing in the Boys Choir of Harlem helped them understand the importance of unity. And more importantly harmony! Fortune's unique blend is key to their success on the music scene. "It's like listening to a mixture of Take 6, Blackstreet, and New Edition combined...rap, hip-hop, gospel all mixed together is what gives them the edge on the competition." But also growing in the streets is what really appeals to the women & youth of this generation. This edge is also what helped the group win the first ever Underground Award in 2003 for Best Group or Duo! The first two singles from the album, "Play a While" & "Winner" are currently rotating heavy in the clubs & on radio. You can also catch them on the upcoming soundtrack & score for the Byron Harmon/Miramax produced film "All the Women I've Loved" due out early 2005.
