B5 releases new EP “Still Think About You” with UB interview
B5, composed of Dustin, Kelly, Patrick, Carnell, and Bryan, have made a triumphant return this year with their latest EP titled “Still Think About You.” As this summer marks the 20th anniversary of their debut album released back in July 2005, fans are excited for this new release that embodies the signature B5 sound that they have grown to love over the years.
Back when B5 first emerged on the music scene, they stood out not individually but collectively as a group of talented performers. With influences from iconic groups like the Jackson 5, N’Sync, and New Edition, B5 created their own unique musical niche that captivated audiences. Despite facing tough circumstances growing up in Kansas, the Breeding brothers eventually settled in Atlanta, where they started their professional journey as performers under the name “TNT Boyz.” After adding Bryan to the lineup, their name changed to B5, paying homage to the legendary Jackson 5.
Their early success in talent competitions and performances led them to connect with industry heavyweights like Kanye West, Usher, and Joe. Eventually, they caught the attention of executive producer Kevin Wales of “World Wide Entertainment,” who paved the way for B5 to sign with Bad Boy Entertainment. Under the mentorship of Sean Combs and his team, B5 worked alongside renowned producers like Rodney Jerkins, Ryan Leslie, and Sean Garrett to create their debut album.
Their first album featured hits like “All I Do” and “U Got Me,” showcasing their vocal prowess and energetic performances. Songs like “Teacher’s Pet” added depth to their catalog, appealing to a wide range of listeners. While their debut album was a mix of up-tempo tracks and soulful ballads, it was their live performances where B5 truly shined. On stage, they seamlessly blended classic crooning, dynamic dance routines, and acrobatics, creating an unforgettable experience for their fans.
Offstage, the boys were just regular teenagers with a love for girls, fashion, and music. Each brother brought their unique talents and personalities to the group, adding layers to their dynamic performances. From Kelly’s rebellious spirit to Patrick’s choreography skills, each member contributed to the group’s overall success. Dustin, the eldest, brought stability, while Bryan’s emotive singing captured the hearts of fans.
The release of their latest EP, “Still Think About You,” is a testament to B5’s enduring talent and dedication to their craft. With tracks like “Nervous” and “Deep,” the EP blends contemporary R&B with the classic B5 sound, ensuring that fans old and new will find something to love in this latest offering. As B5 continues to celebrate their musical journey, they remain a force to be reckoned with in the R&B music scene.
