We now take a look back at the female R&B groups who emerged during the 2000’s. The decade prior featured some of the most iconic groups of all time who are still making an impact to this day. Unfortunately the 2000’s was not quite able to live up to that hype.

While we did get plenty of quality music from these groups, sadly many of them have long ago broken up with no possibility of releasing new music. To the credit of the individual members, many have gone on to have successful solo careers in in their own right.

We’ve been on the music scene for many years and have made it our job to keep up to date on this type of information. Have you ever found yourself wondering “Whatever happened to…” your favorite artist? Hopefully we’ve helped to answer that question. You’ll find that most of the groups on the list below are now sadly broken up or dissolved, but at least left us with quality music while they were still releasing it. This list includes the R&B groups who debuted between 2000 and 2009. Click on any artist name to see all recent posts about that artist.

Their self titled debut album came out that year and the album “A Girl Can Mack” arrived in 2002.

Wyclef Jean helped introduce the group made up of Ryan Toby, Robbie Pardlo & Claudette Ortiz in 2001 with their self titled debut album.

The duo of Marsha Ambrosius aka the Songstress and Natalie Stewart aka The Floacist made up Floetry. They arrived in Philly via the UK and ended up at DJ Jazzy Jeff’s “A Touch of Jazz” studios. It was there they created their debut album “Floetic” which released in 2002 and became a part of the Neo-Soul movement. They’d release one more album together before disbanding to embark on solo careers. However, they came back together in 2014 to briefly reunite and tour. They’ve both gone back to solo careers since then.
