“Once again, always excited to perform at home,” says Kandi Burress. “We get all our family, our friends, just people we grew up [with]… and then Atlanta always shows so much love, you know, Atlanta show up and show out every time.”
Paying it forward to other emerging girl groups like Psiryn, OMG Girls, Young Niyah, and more, Burress believes “it's very important to bring girl groups back. I mean, we miss the harmony, we miss real vocals where everybody can sing in the group… and I think right now it's that era of girl groups coming back."
"I feel like, realistically, record labels was just being cheap," Kandi says. "They didn't want to spend the money on girl groups because obviously, you know, you got three women glam for everybody. You know, it's a lot, but women deserve to make that impact.” Obviously there are “challenges with any group,” she adds. “Clearly male groups have challenges too on that part. But you know, I feel like the women, we just get a bad rap.”
Looking ahead to their Winterfest performance, "Tiny" Cottle-Harris says fans can expect to see them all “stepping up to the plate, doing our thing… it's going to be energetic. It's always entertaining,” she explains. “We moving, we doing our thing, you know, we connecting.”
Kandi adds, “I just want to make sure everybody knows that we definitely changing the show from what y'all just seen this past summer… don't think you gonna come and you're going to see the same show. It's going to be different.”
