En Vogue In 2018, En Vogue debuted their most innovative work yet, “Electric Café.” While the seasoned songbirds stay connected to their R&B roots, their appreciation for diverse musical genres is reflected throughout the album. “We love the authenticity of Hip Hop and the fusion of old school rhythm with a contemporary sound,” says Rhona Bennett. “Rocket,” the lead single on their most innovative album yet, 2018’s “Electric Café,” broke into the Billboard urban adult contemporary (UAC) Top 10 and has been followed by En Vogue’s second official single “Reach 4 Me” which reached Top 15 on the radio charts. The hip-hop laced “Have a Seat,” featuring Snoop Dogg, was penned by writer/producer Taura Stinson. En Vogue continues to stay in demand. Their 2018 European tour featured shows in Ireland, the United Kingdom, Holland and Germany. “We’re blessed to have a global fan base that gives us so much love, so much genuine enthusiasm, every time we walk out on that stage,” says founding member Terry Ellis. Simply put, “We just love our craft,” says Cindy Herron-Braggs.
