We told you weeks ago that BET and reality mastermind Carlos King had teamed up for a new reality series titled ‘BET Presents The Encore‘ which would bring together several former members from some of R&B’s hottest groups.
The series is set to unite Shamari DeVoe (Blaque), Irish Grinstead (702), Lemisha Grinstead (702), Nivea Nash, Fallon & Felisha King (Cherish), Pamela Long (Total), Aubrey O’Day (Danity Kane), and Kiely Williams (3LW) as they move into a house together to record a new album, and rehearse as the next big R&B supergroup.
Per the BET press release:
With nothing to lose and everything to gain, these talented singers turned wives, moms, and entrepreneurs, will move in together, write new music, learn choreography, record an album, and put on a live performance. The catch? The songstresses must achieve this in only 30 days, with none of them knowing who their bandmates will be ahead of time. Faced with fun twists and unforeseen constraints, the ladies will need to stretch beyond their musical and personal comfort zones to succeed as a team. Will their artistic differences or egos get in the way of forming a group? Or will these powerhouse women show the world that they still have what it takes to make a major comeback? Only time, and the music, will tell.
Each week the group will get assists for their album prep from music producer Kosine, choreographer Aliya Janell, songwriter Elijah Blake and vocal coach Cynnamyn.
Now, days ahead of the premiere, BET has unleashed an extended trailer teasing some of the drama that is to come. Get into it below.
