One of our favorites Ralph Tresvant is spotlighted in a new docuseries entitled “A Closer Look.”
The series will premiere Thursday, November 5th on AMC Networks streaming service UMC.
It’s a docuseries in the vein of VH1’s “Behind the Music,” with each episode of “A Closer Look” features legendary artists in intimate interview settings as they look back on their greatest successes and open up about their most difficult moments.
The first episode takes “A Closer Look” at Ralph Tresvant, lead singer of the wildly successful R&B group, New Edition as he opens up for the first time about his lengthy hiatus from the group, his issues with fellow members, and what led him to strike out on his own as a solo artist.
With nearly 40 years in the business, Tresvant’s storied career features classic New Edition hits like “Candy Girl,” “Cool It Now,” “Mr. Telephone Man,” “If This Isn’t Love” and “Can You Stand the Rain;” and a discography of solo albums including his self-titled debut album which spawned the number one single “Sensitivity” and top 5 hits “Do What I Gotta Do” and “Stone Cold Gentleman.”
Recently Ralph made his return to music by teaming up with New Edition bandmate Johnny Gill for the new single “All Mine.”
“Music is the soundtrack of our lives,” says Brett Dismuke, Chief Content Officer of UMC. “When listening to different songs, we find ourselves reflecting on where we were when, and basking in memories that bring us back to special moments we’ve had. With ‘A Closer Look,’ Isaac is giving viewers the opportunity to experience these same emotions but from the perspective of their favorite artists as we become flies on the wall to their moments of reflection and expressions of truth. As UMC’s content slate continues to evolve, we’re excited to add ‘A Closer Look’ to our rapidly expanding lineup.”
The first episode of “A Closer Look” will feature Tresvant sharing his side of the New Edition story where he will finally reveal what led to the rift between him and the group after all these years.
