Reuniting in 2005, GRAMMY nominees SWV — aka Sisters With Voice — returned triumphantly to an R&B scene that owes much of its modern swagger to the influence of their early career hits in the '90s such as "Weak," "Right Here," "You're The One," and more. We caught up with the Bronx, N.Y., trio backstage at Essence Festival 2018 to hear how R&B's resurgence looks from where they sit, their thoughts on the legacy of new jack swing and Teddy Riley, and how hip-hop's impact on the music world — specifically Nicki Minaj— has affected them.
