Boyz II Men are officially Nashville-bound. The legendary trio has signed with Warner Records Nashville and plans to release a country album in 2027, marking their first full-length project since 2017’s“Under The Streetlight.”The move follows Grand Ole Opry performances and years of the group praising country’s storytelling tradition.
If the genre jump surprises you, the members say it’s more natural than it looks. Nathan Morris points out that country and R&B ballads rely on the same melodies, meanings, and feelings, while Shawn Stockman says the timing finally feels right. Wanya Morris made the group’s intentions clear:“We don’t want to become country. We want to be a part of it.”He also stressed that R&B remains the root of who they are.
The trio joins a growing wave of R&B artists exploring country, and with one of the best-selling groups of all time bringing those signature harmonies to Nashville, 2027 is already looking interesting.
