Floetry fans are in for a special treat. Nearly a decade after their split, the neo-soul duo has decided to reunite for a tour. They announced they'd hit the road this summer.
The announcement comes after their performance at Funk Fest, which featured headliners Erykah Badu and Doug E. Fresh in Atlanta this past Saturday (May 16).
As noted by Vibe, the tour will kick off June 16 in Cleveland with stops in Denver, New Orleans and Philadelphia.
Last December, Marsha Ambrosius shocked her fans during a London performance when she brought Natalie Stewart on stage for a Floetry reunion. The two split back in 2007.
Last July, Ambrosius seemed to have no interest in anything to do with her former bandmate.
"When we first started out, I was already writing and producing. Nat was a poet," she said. "I called her to do a song called 'Fantasize' I already had and put some poetry to it, and it became a fusion of two solo artists that did something awesome together. So when it works, it works, and it didn't work anymore.
"When you disagree on where you are in your lives you can't create."
Apparently, the two have hashed things out and are teaming up for live renditions of fan favorites like "Say Yes" and "Floetic." Check out Floetry's itinerary here:
