Jagged Edge is a true R&B group, and to see them at their best is rhythm and blues (with a touch of hip hop swag) at its finest. Wait a minute playa, you didn’t like J.E. Heartbreak II? I thought it was actually pretty solid. Anyway, yeah, no surprise at which album winds up circling the drain. A couple of weeks ago on Instagram, I spotted one of the twins yelling at a fan who was criticizing the autotune JE has employed lately, including on Layover. First off, y’all gotta stop calling fans “haters” for having constructive criticism. Second, like God-is said, Layover doesn’t work because it doesn’t feel like a JE album, it feels more like JE cosplaying as Bryson Tiller. Here’s hoping their next release A Jagged Love Story recaptures their old magic.
What’s Jagged Edge’s best single?īack in the late 90s/early 2000s very few R&B groups made the cross over to mainstream success (Shout out to Sisqo from Dru Hill with “Thong Song”, and Next with “Too Close” - believe me, this was no easy feat.) So for JE and Nelly to create a cross-over hit that is still included on “Party Mix” compilations to this day is pretty damn impressive. Even more impressive was that it was their first single after releasing what many considered a classic album.
