Sons of Soul - Aftermath

Aftermath

In promoting the album, the group broadened their audience and concert repertoire. Aside from national venues, they promoted the album with concerts in Europe, Australia, and Japan. They also performed on television shows such as Saturday Night Live, Late Show with David Letterman, and The Apollo Theatre Hall of Fame ceremony. In November 1993, the group embarked on Janet Jackson's high-profile Janet. World Tour as a supporting act. However, after a few performances, they dropped themselves from the tour in January 1994, having been frustrated with their limited time onstage and Jackson's frequent show cancellations. In an interview at the time, Timothy Christian Riley expressed that they were forced to alter their set list for Jackson's more mainstream, pop audience. A tour staffer recounted that they "left the tour with no advance notice" and "were extremely unprofessional." They were replaced by Mint Condition as Jackson's opening act.

The group subsequently went on hiatus, and each member pursued his own musical projects, including producing and writing for other recording artists. Raphael Wiggins became involved with more high-profile projects, writing and producing for R&B acts such as Total and D'Angelo, and released his solo single "Ask of You" in 1995. He also adopted the surname Saadiq for his professional name, meaning "man of his word" in Arabic. In 1995, Tony! Toni! Toné! returned to record their fourth album House of Music (1996), before breaking up in 1997.
