Although we've come to the end of the road. Still I can't let go. It's unnatural. You belong to me. I belong to you. Hey everyone, Nicki Novak here for Young Hollywood with the unbelievable, incomparable, award-winning, Grammy-winning, record-breaking, Boys II Men. Hey guys. How you doing?

Good.

What's my name?

Wanya.

Hey girl. I like that. I like that. Wanya with the with the sexy Mohawk. Can we turn around and show that to everybody?

Let's see my see my little thing going on there.

That's quite a Mohawk. Yeah. And it's on the side, it's on the side. What do you call it?

Um, I I call it being bald and just playing around. You know what I mean?

But you look you guys, you look exactly the same. You've been around for 20 years. Congratulations. We disturbed you today. You're working on a new album. Tell me what's what's happening with that.

Uh, right now, we're putting together uh, what we're calling at the moment, 20th anniversary album. It's going to be 20 songs. Uh, potentially 20 songs, um, uh, 10 brand new Boyz II Men records and 10 re-recorded records, uh, that we're going to be, you know, putting out as a double CD and there's going to be a lot of history in the in the in the binding of it.

So are you boys or are you men at this point?

A little bit of everything. Being men is is learning how to master the ability to turn on the boy and the man when appropriate.

Is that in life too? Does that That probably works with women really well. I would think.

It does. Everything works on vibrations. You know, you check the person out that you're communicating with and uh, depending on who and how they are, you represent yourself, you know, just the way that you're supposed to.

Tell me about the love cruise.

It was a different experience for us. I mean, we we weren't sure what to expect. I mean, again, you know, we've having been what you say on the mainstream stage for quite some time. So we weren't really sure what our fans would think of it but overall it was a great cruise. I mean, people came out, we had fun, we partied, we performed, we had a little sitdown meet and greets, we chatted, you know, we had karaoke. I mean, it was just a really uh nice environment, man. And our fans are asking for it again, so we're hoping that we can give them another one.

So, do you find it like after 20 years you find it easier to write music? Is it harder? How does how does it evolve over time?

Um, it just evolves with just uh who we are as as people. I mean, um, what we wrote 20 years ago, when we were 17, 18, and 19-year-old teenagers is uh takes on a different approach now because we've got a couple of experiences under our belt.

I mean, you obviously still get along after all these years.

Yeah.

What's what's the key to a happy long and happy marriage?

I think um I think that the the key to it is respecting one another. You know, it was music that brought us together. We, you know, sang together in the hallways, in the bathrooms, in the in the subways and we fell in love with the way we sounded before we even really fell in love with each other. Yesterday. Honestly, what stands out most to us I believe is still being here 20 years later. You know what I mean? That right there is a feat in itself. That's the greatest reward or award ever.
