About Keith Sweat’s Platinum House [swing low sweet chariot]

Keith Sweat’s Platinum House opens as the four current members of Dru Hill – Sisqó (Mark Althavean Andrews), Nokio (Tamir Ruffin), Jazz (Larry Anthony) and Tao (Antwuan Simpson) – make their way to Atlanta with manager Kevin Peck. Upon arrival, they are given a set of house rules by which they must abide throughout the 30 days. They are then introduced to a team of professionals who will help them on their journey, including a licensed therapist, a team-building coach, a trainer and a vocal coach.

Throughout the special, the members of Dru Hill endure highly emotional therapy sessions in between working on their vocalizations and recording. They also have an opportunity to come to terms with a former member of the group. It’s a long and frequently frustrating struggle for everyone, but once they start laying down tracks, there is a glimmer of hope that they might actually be able to pull off a much-needed comeback.

Since its beginnings in Baltimore, Dru Hill has recorded seven Top 40 hits, including the #1 smashes “In My Bed,” “Never Make a Promise” and “How Deep Is Your Love.” Signing to Island Records through Haqq Islam’s University Records imprint, they released two successful albums before separating for a period from late 1999 to 2002, during which time two members released solo albums. In 2002, the group recorded a third album, this one for the Def Soul record label. Several factors – including public feuds and attempts at solo careers – kept the group out of the public eye from 2005 to 2008.

Thanks but no thanks.
