Brandy and Monica are taking one of R&B’s defining partnerships to the Las Vegas Strip. After a sold out arena tour built around their GRAMMY winning duet, the two icons will headline their first ever residency at Resorts World Theatre, a ten night run that turns a reunion fans waited decades for into a Las Vegas fixture.

Following the extraordinary success of their sold out co-headlining The Boy Is Mine Tour, GRAMMY Award-winning R&B icons Brandy and Monica have announced their first-ever Las Vegas residency, The Boy Is Mine Vegas Residency, set for 10 performances at Resorts World Theatre at Resorts World Las Vegas beginning May 29, 2027. The news was revealed tonight during a special performance of their GRAMMY Award-winning duet “The Boy Is Mine” on ABC’s Dancing with the Stars as part of the show’s GRAMMY-themed episode, marking another milestone in their nearly three-decade musical partnership.

Co-Produced by The Black Promoters Collective and AEG Presents Las Vegas, The Boy Is Mine Vegas Residency will bring Brandy and Monica’s celebrated partnership to Resorts World Theatre for a major new production showcasing their individual catalogs, shared musical history and the timeless songs that have connected generations of fans. Building on the scale and success of their acclaimed sold-out arena tour, the residency promises a spectacular celebration of two of R&B’s most influential voices, bringing the energy, powerhouse vocals and unforgettable moments that defined The Boy Is Mine Tour to the Las Vegas Strip.

Shelby Joyner, President of Black Promoters Collective adds “BPC is proud to be working with Brandy and Monica again. We saw on The Boy Is Mine tour how much it meant to fans to see them share a stage, and I’m excited to build on what we created together. Bringing The Boy Is Mine to Las Vegas as Black Promoters Collective’s first residency is a big moment for us. We’ve built BPC by betting on artists we believe in and listening to their fans. This residency takes that work into a new arena for our company, and I can’t think of two artists I’d rather take that step with.”

The Boy Is Mine Tour became one of the most significant R&B live events of 2025, earning a nomination for R&B Tour of the Year at the 2026 Pollstar Awards. The sold-out nationwide arena run drew widespread acclaim from Variety, The Hollywood Reporter, Billboard, ESSENCE, EBONY, The New York Times, and more, with critics praising the pair’s vocal performances, chemistry, and the impact of their long-awaited reunion.

The tour brought together generations of R&B fans and talent with a powerhouse lineup that included Kelly Rowland, Coco Jones, Muni Long, and Jamal Roberts, alongside surprise appearances by Missy Elliott, Ciara, Ludacris, Sexxy Red, Jermaine Dupri, Ella Mai, LL COOL J, Kehlani, Tyrese, 50 Cent, and more.

Their continued collaboration has extended beyond the tour. The two artists shared the stage at the St. Lucia Jazz & Arts Festival and reunited this summer for a co-headlining performance at the 2026 ESSENCE Festival of Culture in New Orleans. The following day, both were recognized at the ESSENCE Black Women in Music luncheon, where Brandy received the Legend Award and Monica was honored with the Luminary Award.

Originally released in 1998, “The Boy Is Mine” spent 13 consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart and earned Brandy and Monica a GRAMMY Award for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals. Their record-setting 2020 Verzuz reunion drew more than 6 million viewers. More than 25 years later, Ariana Grande’s 2024 remix featuring Brandy and Monica earned the trio a 2025 GRAMMY nomination for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.

Five years after her last full-length, Snoh Aalegra is back with Legendary Love, out now via Stem — a 13-track album written through a karmic relationship in real time, with the London-shot “Supernova” video arriving alongside it.

Following the release of her final early single “Warmest Shade of Blue” earlier this week, Iranian Swedish-born singer, songwriter and producer Snoh Aalegra releases her new album Legendary Love via Stem. Alongside the album’s release, Snoh is also sharing a new music video for the standout album track “Supernova”, directed by Alfred Marroquín, that finds Snoh dashing through London.

Her first full-length release in five years, the new album immortalizes a karmic relationship that never fully materialized and cements the impact it had on her own life through documenting her own personal growth in her most introspective and incisive songwriting of her career to-date. Writing through the emotional journey of the relationship in real time over a two-and-a-half year period, Snoh channeled the veracity of those emotions into the lyrics and equally, the recording process that followed.

She demanded absolute authenticity in the music to do her soul-bearing words justice, reuniting Joel Compass and building a new creative partnership with Josh Grant to forge the true-to-life sound that captured her experiences with her unnamed muse, informed by the warm nostalgia of ‘80s R&B. Every synthesizer, drum machine and guitar line was captured using authentic vintage gear that paid reverence to the influences she was drawing from. She also enlisted some of her musical heroes from that era to capture those sounds and revitalized the experience of making music for her, co-writing with Babyface, and working with the likes of Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, Raphael Saadiq, and Nile Rodgers. Contemporary collaborators like Mustafa, Dahi, Daniel Caesar and more also contributed to Legendary Love.

In a message to her listeners shared alongside the release of the album, Snoh wrote:

“To a love that felt written long before we met, even if it only lived in a moment. A karmic, ancient memory I recognized before I understood it. This album is my dedication to what never arrived in my hands, but still took root in my chest like something sacred. For the magic I didn’t get to keep, I immortalized it in these songs, as proof it was real.”
