New Edition reunite without Bobby Brown
NEW YORK (AP) -- New Edition won't have to cool it now -- they've signed a new recording contract.
The former teen group has been signed to Sean "P. Diddy" Combs' Bad Boy Records. They're set to deliver a new disc by next spring, the same year they'll celebrate the 20th anniversary of the release of their first album.
However, Bobby Brown, one of the group's most famous members, won't be part of the reunion. Instead, the disc will feature Ralph Tresvant, Michael Bivins, Ricky Bell, Ronnie DeVoe and Johnny Gill, who replaced Brown when he left in 1987.
"New Edition carved the path for what we know to be R&B today," Combs said Monday. "I look forward to working with all the members closely on their new album and reintroducing the world to a brand-new New Edition."
"Cool It Now," "Candy Girl" and "If It Isn't Love" were among New Edition's biggest hits in the 1980s.
The quintet performed together on a reunion tour this year.
