Thanksgiving weekend in Raleigh comes with a soundtrack this year. Six acts that shaped three decades of R&B take one stage when the R&B Music Experience, Holiday Edition lands at Lenovo Center on Friday, November 27, and the night is built for fans who grew up on every era of the music.

Trey Songz headlines the show, and this stop carries a milestone for him. He is marking 16 years of Passion, Pain & Pleasure, the album that gave him a run of hits fans still sing back word for word. Sharing the bill with him is Tank, whose voice and pen have anchored R&B for more than twenty years, and Mario, who has been filling rooms since he was a teenager with songs like “Just a Friend 2002” and “Let Me Love You.”

The lineup reaches deeper than the headliners. Mýa brings her own catalog of hits to the stage, and two groups carry the 1990s into the room. Silk, of “Freak Me” and “Meeting in My Bedroom,” and H-Town, the voices behind “Knockin’ da Boots,” round out a bill that moves from slow jams to singalong anthems across the whole night.

Global Events Production presents the show, part of its R&B Music Experience series, under the motto “It’s Not a Concert, It’s an Experience.” Doors open at 6:00 PM and the show starts at 7:00 PM at Lenovo Center, 1400 Edwards Mill Road in Raleigh. Tickets are on sale now through Ticketmaster and through Global Events Production.

For Raleigh, this is the kind of night that only comes around once in a while, a full arena of R&B with no opener filler, just hit after hit from the first act to the last.

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.”
