The R&B girl group is bringing their enduring 90s melodies to 2023.
mastermind Mona Scott, captures SWV teaming up with Xscape, another iconic ’90s girl group, to create a one-of-a-kind concert spotlighting the two acts and their influential catalogs. On the Xscape side of things, the series features TV veterans Kandi Burruss and Tiny Harris . But the experience was new and full of learning curves for the SWV girls, who had never appeared on a Bravo show before. “What do they call them—Bravolebrity?” Johnson says, reflecting on the experience.
There were some more low-stakes discoveries in entering the Bravoverse too. “My cousin Tony was upset they showed a little bit of him [on the show],” Lyons says with a laugh. “He was like, ‘Cuz, but we filmed for eight hours!’ I was like, ‘This is how it works, sir, you’re not important.’” She sighs. “I think they focused on the messy stuff way too much.”
At the time—and even today—R&B groups like SWV, En Vogue, TLC, and 702 had major cultural heft but rarely the critical accolades. When asked why they might have been glossed over for awards, Gamble is frank. “RCA,” she says, referring to the group’s original record label. “RCA was a label that really wasn’t popular. At the time that we signed with RCA, its nickname was Record Cemetery of America. When SWV went to RCA, no one expected us to blow up like we did.
