We’ve been covering RnB Spotlight for a couple of years now, and we’re extremely proud of how far the event has come; culminating in this past weekends show at SOB’s. The fact that special guest Tweet wasn’t able to make it didn’t hinder the event at all, as Sunshine Anderson, Mario Winans & friends, and a host of talented upcoming acts amazed the crowd. Hosted by Cory Taylor and Suzy Q, they introduced Candace Cole, Shelea, TL Cross, Phoenix, Avery Wilson and the Fuzz Band to the stage in succession with each impressing a crowd who might not have been familiar with them before. We’re talking about amazing vocals all night long, so much talent in one building. Special guest Sunshine Anderson then came out and reminded the crowd how powerful of a voice she is even if he she hasn’t got the mainstream attention she deserved. The real highlight of the night was Mario Winans performance, when he brought out his friends Lil’ Cease, Black Rob, and Mr. Cheeks to collaborate with him on stage. You couldn’t ask for more from an RnB showcase of this format, and RnB Spotlight is certainly shining light on some true talent.
