F.I.R.E. Reignited
If you can't stand the heat, stay the hell off the stage. Twenty years ago, four high school students came together to form what became one of the most successful R&B girl groups of their time. F.I.R.E. was as hot as their name, known for their natural sex appeal and sometimes risqué music. The bad girl, the golden child, the chubby, lovable one, and the pretty tomboy grew up in front of the world; and as they navigated the road to fame, they lost themselves amid the limelight. Inflated egos, creative differences, personality conflicts, and addiction created discord among the ladies; but lead singer Shai¿s decision to go solo ultimately ended the group¿s eleven-year run. Though Shai never missed a beat, Paris, KiKi, and Reign were left to remix their careers.Now in their mid-thirties, an unexpected and widely publicized reunion brings the ladies of F.I.R.E. to the table to consider making one last album together. With animosity and damaging secrets still looming over them, will they be able to move forward without clearing the air or will they each spill the tea they brought along with them?

Strength of a Woman
The story of singer Phyllis Hyman is brought to light in the powerful new biography Strength Of A Woman: The Phyllis Hyman Story by Jason A. Michael. Hyman's 20-year career, which included the release of eight albums as well as a Tony nomination and Theater World Award for her Broadway turn in Sophisticated Ladies, was brought to a tragic end by her suicide June 30, 1995, just hours before she was due to take the stage at the legendary Apollo Theatre. In the spotlight, Hyman's breathtaking voice and stunning beauty shone brightly. But off stage, after the applause and the laughter produced by her bawdy humor had faded, Hyman spent her days and nights engaged in an exhausting battle against bipolar disorder. Complicating its crippling effects was Hyman's addiction to drugs and alcohol, which she tried repeatedly to kick, and the demands and constraints of being a female African-American entrepreneur in an industry controlled by white men. But though she ultimately chose to extricate herself from the pain, she did so not before leaving a legacy of beautiful music that will last and live on forever as a true testament to the 'strength of a woman.'
