New Edition is an American R&B group that emerged in the late 1970s. Known for their blend of vocal harmonies and choreographed dance routines, they revitalized the boy band tradition. The group initially consisted of notable members such as Bobby Brown, Ralph Tresvant, and later Johnny Gill, who all pursued successful solo careers. Their influential works include the hit albums "Candy Girl" and "Heart Break," which played a significant role in shaping the sound of new jack swing in the 1980s and 90s.
