After introducing myself I said, &#8220;I assume either you guys are artists or you all shop at the same T-Shirt store and got a 5 for one deal or something on shiny T-shirts?&#8221; They laughed and said, &#8220;no, we&#8217;re a group, we&#8217;re singers.&#8221; I replied, &#8220;oh cool.&#8221; Then we chatted for a bit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The guys are very friendly and down to earth, so much so that I thought they were independent artists until I asked them the name of their group and they replied, &#8220;AZ Yet&#8221; and I was like &#8220;Damm&#8221;. Then I instantly had to apologize for not recognizing them lol. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">I Grew Up With Their Hits from the 90s<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I explained to them how I listened to their songs growing up. We hung for a bit and then they gave me a heads up that they&#8217;re about to do a secret un-advertised performance near there in about 10 minutes. Being at Namm I had my Sony camera on me for product reviews. So I asked if I could film it and they said it was fine. I didn&#8217;t have a shotgun mic or an output from the desk so it&#8217;s just the mics from the camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">I Was Literally 3 Feet Away from their Performance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>All this meant that I had an advantage over everyone else in the audience. I knew where they were going to be before they did. So I went over to the front before the crowd surrounded them. The camera is not zoomed in. I was so close that I couldn&#8217;t even fit all 5 members in the frame the whole time. If I was a crazy female fan I could have reached out and touched them lol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Were They?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>AZ Yet are so talented that they just make most modern day R&amp;B singers look bad. While most other &#8216;singers&#8217; in the trap infused R&amp;B genre today are busy singing just a few notes with Auto-Tune, AZ Yet remind us why boy bands were so popular in the first place by singing extremely complex and tight harmonies live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a reason you don&#8217;t see new famous singers just sing over a backing track without any dancers and fancy lighting. That&#8217;s because when you take those elements away, you realize they&#8217;re not that great. AZ Yet however, are maybe the opposite in that they are even more impressive when you take those elements away. I mean, they don&#8217;t even need any music at all and they can still impress a crowd. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s super exciting to see them performing again and they even have a new song out now which has a nice modern vibe while still being unique. I wish them all the best. Hopefully one day I&#8217;ll see them in <a href=\"https:\/\/currentsound.com\/\">the recording studio<\/a> for a hang. AZ Yet have a new single called Kleptomaniac which they perform in the video along with their hits. It&#8217;s out at the moment.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I bumped into AZ Yet at Namm and this is What Happened The entire 90s #1 hit R&amp;B group AZ [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6290,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[1546,1548,1547],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/currentsound.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6287"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/currentsound.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/currentsound.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/currentsound.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/currentsound.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6287"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/currentsound.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6287\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/currentsound.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6290"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/currentsound.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6287"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/currentsound.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6287"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/currentsound.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6287"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
