SWV 25th Anniversary Tour with Allure

Delta Bravo and Abstract Entertainment are thrilled to present, for the first time ever in Australia and New Zealand, multi-platinum and Grammy nominated R&B legends: SWV (Sisters with Voices).  Joining SWV will be fellow New York natives: Allure on their first return visit to Australia since 2011. 

SWV came to public consciousness in 1992 with the release of their multi-platinum debut album: -It's About Time' which, boasted three of the biggest songs in R&B history, now considered classics, in: -Right Here,' -I'm So Into You' and -Weak.' Made up of Cheryl -Coko' Clemons, Leanne -Lelee' Lyons and Tamara -Taj' George, SWV took the music scene by storm in the early 90s and remain one of R&B's classic acts to this day.

Recently honoured with the prestigious, -Lady of Soul' award at the annual -Soul Train Music Awards' for their continued work in R&B, SWV's influence on both female and male artists has been a mainstay in contemporary R&B.  The group enjoyed subsequent releases on the -Above The Rim' soundtrack, their second album, -New Beginning,' which featured the hit -Tonight's the Night' with Blackstreet and their third and final release (before taking a hiatus to pursue solo careers) -Release Some Tension.'

The group returned to the spotlight in 2007 alongside R&B luminaries, Bobby Brown, New Edition and Blackstreet and in 2008 where they delivered an unforgettable performance alongside TLC and En Vogue during Alicia Keys' set at the BET Awards. Reuniting as a group in 2011 and featuring on the Chris Brown remix of -Right Here/Human Nature,' the ladies were recognised by VH1 in the -Top 100 Women in Music' list and by Billboard in both their Top 10 R&B Acts of the 90s list as well as being the number 2 top selling female group of the 90s.

Introduced to a new legion of fans in 2012 with a new album: -I Miss Us,' it was the launch of their own reality show -SWV Reunited' which saw the ladies attract millions of viewers and return to the consciousness of contemporary R&B fans with their most recent album -Still' released in 2016.

Allure, made up of original members: Alia Davis, Lalisha Sanders and Akissa Mendez signed with Maria Carey's -Crave' label in 1997. Their debut single, -Head Over Heels' (featuring Nas) was both a club and chart smash.  Their cover of -All Cried Out,' which featured 112, was a Top 10 smash hit in the USA, Australia and New Zealand and became one of the most loved R&B ballads of the era.  Allure return to Australia, following a brief visit in 2011 and will be appearing in New Zealand for the first time. 

SWV and Allure tour Australia and New Zealand in February 2018.  Fans are in for a treat, experiencing R&B royalty up close and personal in what will be a show full of smash hits, vocal acrobatics and plenty of -90s R&B vibes.
