Their discography includes popular tracks such as “Let’s Get Married,” “Where the Party At,” “Walked Outta Heaven,” and “Promise,” which have become staples of R&B.
Despite the passage of time, Jagged Edge has maintained a strong presence in the music industry. The Grammy-nominated group released their tenth studio album, A Jagged Love Story, in 2020 and continues to tour.
