New Edition in town on Valentine’s Day? Babies will be made (hopefully after the concert). Inspired initially by the Jackson 5, New Edition’s “cute” early material (“Candy Girl,” “Cool It Now”) gave way to a more innovative sound that combined R&B and Hip Hop and helped pave the way for the still-influential New Jack Swing movement. The group were also an inspiration behind the “boy band” trend of the ’90s/’00s — if influence was currency, New Edition would have made billions during the heyday of Backstreet Boys and *N Sync.
