Performing on London soil for the first time in almost 20 years, R&B quartet En Vogue blessed the crowd at the Indigo O2 with a mesmerizing performance last week. The Funky Divas took the audience on a journey through their biggest hits, effortlessly belting out "Never Gonna Get it," "Hold On," "Whatta Man," "Love Don't Love You" and their biggest record, "Don't Let Go," among others. The group's return to the spotlight has famously been marred by label changes, pregnancies, Dawn Robinson's apparently insatiable demands and a revolving door of forgettable members. Despite their eventful past, the original lineup, of Dawn, Cindy Herron, Maxine Jones and Terry Ellis reunited again to prove that they're just as talented today as they were in 1992. En Vogue is one of the only female groups where every member could--and did--sing lead and they didn't disappoint here. Fans were also treated to a medley of Anita Baker, Donna Summer, Tina Turner, Chaka Khan and Aretha Franklin covers with each member singing lead on a different song. One questionable wardrobe selection aside, En Vogue was as youthful, energetic and on point as ever, their classic harmonies powerfully delivered with ease. There has been no word on new recordings, but this gives me hope for a stellar return to the music scene. Check out a shakily filmed but nonetheless nicely performed "Don't Let Go" below.
