R&B
music is cluttered with so many boy bands that it's hard to keep track
of who's who. But when it comes to distinction and "edging
out" the competition, while creating a league of their own, the men
of Jagged Edge always manage to successfully stand out.
 With two phenomenal past albums – 1998's RIAA gold debut "A
Jagged Era," and 2000's multiple-platinum smash
"J.E.
Heartbreak" – notched on the group's collective belt,
Richard Wingo, Kyle Norman, and twin brothers Brian and Brandon Casey
released their third dynamic JE disk, "Jagged
Little Thrill" in June 2001
After a solid upbringing where they honed their vocal
skills in church choirs, Jagged Edge first came together in
Atlanta, Georgia. Connecticut natives Brian and Brandon moved to the
Peach Tree State and connected with Kyle and a few other song men.
Although they planned to sign with Michael Bivins and his Biv Ten label,
it wasn't meant to be. Changes were made. Xscape's Kandi Burress brought
Wingo to the group. A demo was shopped.
 After hearing a live a cappella performance by the
quartet, Jermaine Dupri quickly signed the captivating crooners to his
So So Def label. Always keeping writing duties within the group, Jagged
Edge has stood out from the beginning. "We've always kept all
of the writing in house. Jermaine trusted us," says Kyle. "He
never did that with any other group." Three albums later, Jagged
Edge keep minting the hits, daring to write about, and venture into,
untapped territory. "Times change and we try to keep it fresh and
new. We write our lyrics to reflect events that are going on in our
lives," says Wingo. "Without the meat of the music, which are
the lyrics, you really don't have anything,. So we try to improve each
and every time."
"A
Jagged Era" was the fledgling beginning
for four unknown talents and "J.E.
Heartbreak" was the
double-platinum breakthrough that put them on the map. But "Jagged
Little Thrill" signified Jagged Edge's graduation into the
school of classic R&B acts - alongside
New Edition,
Jodeci, and
Boyz II Men. It showcases undeniable maturity, growth and confidence as
four men who can effectively say what they mean, build on the old, and
slide in the new, while still keeping you grooving to each tune –
every time.
