BET is aiming for the most ambitious team-up since
Avengers: Infinity War.
On Wednesday, the network announced its upcoming series
BET Presents The Encore, a one-of-a-kind music experiment that brings nine artists together to form one R&B supergroup. The featured nine include Shamari DeVoe (Blaque), Irish Grinstead (702), Lemisha Grinstead (702), Nivea Nash, Felisha King (Cherish), Pamela Long (Total), Aubrey O Day (Danity Kane) and Kiely Williams (3LW).
The series will follow the nine women as they write new music, learn choreography, record an album and put on a live performance. None of them know who their new bandmates are beforehand, and they only have 30 days to complete the entire project. Each week, a music industry expert will come in to prepare the group for their debut, such as music producer Kosine
Aubrey O’ Day (Danity Kane),
Kiely Williams (3LW/The Cheetah Girls) and the only member to not be in a girl group, Nivea Nash.
Yep, that’s nine women coming together for an R&B group, but it’s to be seen if all the ladies make the final album cut.
They will live together for 30 days to record an album at a home studio, learn choreography and practice vocals. And guess what? The songstresses won’t know who their bandmates are until they get to the house. It s like Real World meets Making The Band .
An esteemed roster of music industry experts will drop in each week to prepare them for their big debut and deliver a chart-topping record, including music producer
