Floetry is back for more! Duo members Marsha Ambrosius and Natalie Stewart have announced that they have reunited again and will be outside this spring on Say Yes: The Tour. Not only are the ladies reprising their roles as The Songstress and The Floacist, but they are also bringing a few special guests along for the ride.
Taking its name from “Say Yes,” the biggest single of Floetry’s career and a quiet storm staple for almost 25 years, Say Yes: The Tour will be a neo-soul lover’s dream concert. Floetry will be joined on the road by Raheem DeVaughn, Teedra Moses (in select cities), DJ Aktive with his Chill Vibes and host Clint Coley.
The 16-date U.S. tour is scheduled to begin in Newark on April 9th, then move around the country to Philadelphia, Baltimore, D.C., Durham, Jacksonville, Houston and Phoenix, to name a few cities. Their journey will end on the West Coast in Oakland on May 17th.
This Floetry reunion is the second time around for Marsha and Natalie. After the duo split up in 2006, they reunited in 2015 for a tour and a rumored album. Though new music never materialized, they did tour through 2016 before another breakup. Now, a decade later, it’s unclear if The Songstress and The Floacist are back together for good or just for a good time, but fans are excited about the possibilities.
Say Yes: The Tour is produced by the Black Promoters Collective — the masterminds behind The New Edition Way Tour currently underway with New Edition, Toni Braxton and Boyz II Men; Brandy and Monica’s The Boy Is Mine Tour and The Queens Tour featuring Chaka Khan, Patti LaBelle, Stephanie Mills and Gladys Knight. If anyone can pull this Floetry reunion tour off without a hitch, it’s BPC.
