The Story
April 18 street date. 2026 RECORD STORE DAY release. Having grown up on jazz, Motown, and gospel, vocalists Tonya Kelly, Joi Marshall, and Di Reed - known collectively as Jade - could make just about anything sound good. It also helped that the R&B trio's 1992 debut, "Jade To The Max", had top-notch production and material to work with as well. Hitmaker/mentor Vassal Benford penned nearly half of the 11 songs here with co-producer Ron Spearman. The full length boasts four singles hitting the Top 100 "I Wanna Love You" (#16), "Don't Walk Away" (#4), "One Woman" (#22), and "Looking For Mr. Do Right" (#69) and went on to being certified Platinum. For RSD 2026, "Jade To The Max" sees its first ever vinyl pressing in the US, appropriately in a jade coloured vinyl run.
