It’s a night to remember for R&B fans everywhere! Last night, the legendary girl group SWV performed an exclusive set at their album release party. And let us tell you – it was EPIC! These ladies have been bringing hits since 1992 and last night was no exception. From old classics to brand new music, they brought the house down with their incredible talent and showmanship. Let’s take a look back at this unforgettable evening of soulful tunes and harmony.
The event took place in downtown Los Angeles at one of the city’s most popular concert venues. As soon as attendees walked through the door, they were hit with waves of nostalgia as classic SWV tracks filled the air. The chic atmosphere only added to what would be an amazing musical experience that many won’t forget anytime soon.
Once on stage, SWV did not disappoint! They opened up with fan-favorite “Weak” before transitioning into some of their latest releases from their upcoming album. What made this performance so special is that everyone got to hear these new songs live for the first time ever! It left all guests wanting more – which luckily will come when the full album drops later this month.
Background Of The Band
SWV have been making waves in the music industry since their debut album It’s About Time came out in 1992. The R&B trio–Cheryl ‘Coko’ Gamble, Tamara ‘Taj’ Johnson-George and Leanne ‘Lelee’ Lyons–immediately hit it big with hits like “Right Here,” “I’m So into You” and “Weak.” From then on, SWV have stayed relevant in the music scene by releasing additional albums, touring around the world, appearing on television shows and collaborating with other artists.
This time around, SWV are celebrating their long-awaited sixth studio album Still. This project features new collaborations from Snoop Dogg, Rick Ross and more. To commemorate this special release, the group threw an exclusive event to fete its fans.
At the party held at Los Angeles’ Sayers Club last November 15th, guests were treated to a performance of some of SWV’s biggest hits as well as songs from their latest record. Fans sang along to all of their favorite tunes while Coko, Taj and Lelee danced atop the stage for everyone who was there to witness. For those who weren’t able to attend, they can still experience what happened that night through videos posted online afterwards.
Highlights Of The Event
It was a night to remember for all who attended SWV’s Still album release party. From the moment guests stepped foot inside Sayers Club, they were taken back in time as classic hip-hop and R&B jams blasted through the speakers. Everyone was excitedly awaiting what would come next.
The anticipation soon reached its peak when Coko, Taj and Lelee took the stage. As each one of them arrived, fans erupted with applause, screaming their names and singing along to every word they uttered. The group delivered an electrifying set that included old songs like ‘Right Here’ and new ones such as ‘Ain’t No Man.’ In between tracks, the trio talked about how much this album meant to them personally and thanked everyone for supporting them over the years.
From start to finish, it was nothing short of amazing. As guests left feeling inspired by SWV’s music, there’s no doubt that we’ll be seeing more from these ladies in the near future–and experiencing many more unforgettable nights like this one.
Conclusion
The R&B trio SWV have been making hits since the early 1990s, and their latest album release was no different. Last night, they held a special event to celebrate its launch, taking fans on an unforgettable journey through time by performing some of their most iconic songs from over the years.
From start to finish, it was clear that the group still had it after all this time; their passionate performances and sweet harmonies were as good as ever.

It’s safe to say that last night’s album release party was one for the books. With decades of experience under their belts, SWV has perfected what they do best: delivering high-energy sets full of emotion and soulful music. We can’t wait to hear what else they come up with next!
