In this episode, Mary and Kelsey are joined by Soulidified - Shade, Malik, Bradley, and Landon - the four-part harmony boy band bringing nostalgia back to pop music. Formed on Netflix's Building the Band, where they could only hear each other's voices before meeting face-to-face, the guys share their journey from their viral "U Remind Me" performance to training at the infamous boy band bootcamp with Johnny Wright (the legendary manager behind *NSYNC and Backstreet Boys) to wrapping the Bandemonium Tour with 3quency. Soulidified is proving that tight vocal harmonies and authentic boy band energy never went out of style, and they tease what's next for the Souldiers.
