Jagged Edge Celebrates Release Of New Album With Special In-Store Appearance At FYE In Farmington On Saturday, May 6, 2006

NEW YORK, NY (Sony Urban Music/Columbia Records) - The groundbreaking multi-platinum soul vocal quartet Jagged Edge will meet and greet the group's fans at a very special in-store appearance at FYE in Westfarms Mall in Farmington, Connecticut on Saturday, May 6, beginning at 5pm. The Jagged Edge in-store celebrates the May 9 release of Jagged Edge, the group's eagerly-awaited fifth album for Sony Urban Music/Columbia Records.

Jagged Edge finds the group's members - twin brothers Brandon Casey and Brian Casey, Richard Wingo and Kyle Norman - at the top of their game after four previous gold and platinum albums, keeping alive the R&B traditions of heart-stopping soul ballads and roof-raising block parties.

Jagged Edge first exploded onto the urban contemporary music scene in 1998 with the group's debut album A Jagged Era, which established them as the "Kings of Hip-Hop/Soul." Jagged Edge's breakthrough second album, 2000's J.E. Heartbreak, achieved RIAA double-platinum status, driven in part by the singles "He Can't Love U," "Promise," and the smash "Let's Get Married." A year-and-a-half after its release, the album was still on the Billboard 200 album chart. The group's third album, 2001's platinum-certified Jagged Little Thrill featured the raucous signature hit "Where The Party At" (featuring Nelly) which reached No 1 on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks Chart and No 3 on the Billboard Hot 100. Jagged Edge's fourth album, Hard, debuted at No 3 on the Billboard Top 200 album chart the week of its release in October 2003. Jagged Edge has earned ten gold, platinum, and multi-platinum certifications from the RIAA for the group's singles, albums and videos.
