In this episode of the Halftime Chat R&B Podcast, we dive deep into the pivotal moment in R&B history when Bobby Brown stepped away from New Edition to carve out his solo legacy. We explore Bobby Brown’s debut album "King of Stage" (1986) — a raw and energetic introduction to his solo career that laid the groundwork for the superstar he would soon become. Though it didn’t achieve major commercial success, the album showcased Bobby’s charisma, dance-floor ambition, and his determination to stand apart from the polished boy band image of New Edition.

We also review New Edition’s "Blue Moon" album — a return-to-form project that reflects the group’s maturity, vocal evolution, and smooth harmonies after years of internal shifts and solo journeys. It’s a celebration of brotherhood, resilience, and their unmatched contribution to R&B.
