Their platinum-selling debut album *After 7* (1989) gave us timeless hits that defined late 80s and 90s R\&B, followed by *Takin' My Time* and *Reflections*, which kept the hits coming with tracks like **“Till You Do Me Right.”**In this candid conversation, Keith opens up about his fallout with Kevon Edmonds, why he felt now was the time to step away, and what fans can expect from his next chapter, including a brand new solo album in the works.If you love After 7 and classic R&B, this is a must-watch.#after7 #keithmitchell #halftimechat #babyface Welcome to Halftime Chat, the R&B Podcast with Nnamdi Okoye.
