Tony! Toni! Toné!

Tony! Toni! Toné! is an American R&B group from Oakland, California, formed by D'wayne Wiggins, Raphael Saadiq and Timothy Christian Riley. They are known for albums including Sons of Soul (1993) and House of Music (1996).

According to the review, the group left Janet Jackson's tour over setlist requests and delivered House of Music as a swan song before pursuing separate paths; Raphael Saadiq went on to record solo albums.

DeBaser's review praises House of Music as Tony! Toni! Toné!'s ambitious departure from new jack swing toward classic soul. The trio (Wiggins, Riley, Saadiq) are credited as musicians and songwriters with a clear artistic vision. The record is presented as a grand finale before the members pursued separate paths.

For:Fans of 1990s R&B and soul, music critics, listeners interested in the evolution from new jack swing to classic soul.
