TLC w/En Vogue

TLC

Throughout their career, TLC reached highs most acts could only dream of. The group’s accomplishments include four number one singles, five Grammys and 85 million records sold worldwide. Over this same time period, TLC also went through a bankruptcy, a messy breakup with manager Perri “Pebbles” Reid and the untimely death of member Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes.

Last year’s self-titled album, their first in 15 years and the first without Left Eye, explores both sides of this storied run. The album leads off with “No Introduction,” a clubby track that references past hits “No Scrubs” and “Waterfalls” and includes the refrain “I been down / I been up.” But above all, TLC is a celebration of everything the group has accomplished, and this is what fans should expect when the group takes to the State Fair Main Stage. While the crowd will surely be patiently waiting for the group’s ’90s classics, new tracks such as the Snoop Dogg-assisted, summer barbecue-ready “Way Back” and the Earth, Wind & Fire sampling “It’s Sunny” should keep the crowds dancing in between the old hits. Opening for TLC is En Vogue, themselves one of the top 10 highest-selling American female groups ever. (Rob Hullum)
