Next is an American contemporary R&B musical trio, popular during the late 1990s and early 2000s. They are best known for their hit singles "Too Close", "Wifey", and "I Still Love You" which all still receive frequent airplay on Adult Contemporary radio stations both in the US and internationally.

Next's debut album, Rated Next was certified double platinum, and the group was nominated for an American Music Award for "Favorite Soul/R&B Band/Duo/Group."[1] Their most recent album, with the working title Next, Lies, & Videotape, was scheduled for a 2014 release, but was ultimately shelved.[2]
