The tour brings together some of the biggest names in R&B, including Keith Sweat, Ginuwine, Joe, Dru Hill and special guests Kutt Klose for a night packed with classic hits and unforgettable performances.

One of the highlights of the interview was Sweat’s decision to add Kutt Klose to the tour lineup. The trio remains the only female R&B group he ever signed, and he said it was important to give fans an opportunity to see them perform alongside the artists who helped define an era of R&B music. Kutt Klose became a fan favorite with hits like “I Like” and “Surrender,” while also collaborating with Sweat on several memorable records throughout the 1990s. Their history together and undeniable chemistry made them a natural addition to the show.

Speaking of music, he teased fans with a hint of what’s to come.. and AfroBreats album PLUS an album inspired by his love of Southern Soul.

Sweat also made it clear that fans attending the R&B Lovers Tour can expect real vocals from every artist on stage. He said he insists that every act sings live and credits that philosophy to lessons he learned from legendary performers Eddie Levert and Gerald Levert. According to Sweat, audiences deserve an authentic concert experience, and live singing remains one of the most important elements of a great show. That commitment to performance excellence has helped make him one of R&B’s most respected touring artists for more than three decades.

When asked by Madd Hatta what he does in his free time, the R&B icon admitted he’s a big fan of watching movies on Tubi and enjoys getting lost in the streaming platform’s massive catalog. He also revealed that he’s grown a love for taking cruises.

Sweat said members of his team encouraged him to take a cruise vacation, and while he wasn’t convinced at first, the experience quickly changed his mind.
