Dalvin says that after 18 years, the time was ripe for a comeback.

“Great artists were falling but people started wanting that great R&B real songs that you could make love to instead of just bouncing in the club to,” says Dalvin. “We just stuck to the same formula and didn’t follow trends because Jodeci has always set trends.”

K-Ci says that during their solo success, they were still recording Jodeci tracks so it getting back to the group was seamless.

“When me and our brother had our solo career, we were recording and then go crosstown and do Jodeci. We stayed around each other, we used to live around the corner from each other. We believe that a family that prays together, stays together,” says K-Ci.

On Throwback Thursday, Jodeci’s music is the perfect groove as the songs sound like they barely went away for a year or two, much less 18. Could it be that so many of today’s hip-hop laced R&B stars have just copied their sound – but are not always up to the same quality?

Jodeci includes some social consciousness this time around with “Nobody Wins” a song about domestic violence featuring B.o.B, and gets their familiar freak on with “Body Parts.” Timbaland comes onto collaborate on the production with “Those Things and “Incredible” which manages to update their sound without taking them too far from what their fans know and love them for.

“I just want to thank everyone for hanging in there with us all these years,” says K-Ci. “I want to thank you for your prayers. We’re not the best, but we’re trying.”
