“The R&B Money Tour” with Tank, Keri Hilson and Carl Thomas is filled with singers singing, crowd participation and classic hits from the artists when the tour stopped at the MGM National Harbor.
The concert blended R&B, Soul, and pure musical artistry, leaving the audience with a memorable night. The setlists were well-curated, featuring a mix of classic hits and deep cuts.
In a rose-colored suit, white sneakers and with just a mic, Thomas’ soulful voice resonated throughout the venue, creating a nostalgic and soul-stirring atmosphere.
Thomas performed classics like “Can’t Believe,” “Summer Rain,” and “I Wish,” but also included songs like “Rebound” and “That’s The Way You Are.”
Dressed to impress, he captivated the audience with each heartfelt lyric, transporting everyone to a place of pure emotion.
Hilson brought energy and charisma to the stage, engaging the crowd with her hit songs and energetic performance style. At one point, Hilson went into the crown to perform her hit “Pretty Girl Rock, which became its own moment for the night.
Hilson’s infectious “Energy” electrified the audience, igniting a wave of excitement that swept through the entire venue.
As she belted out her chart-toppers, the crowd was entranced by her magnetic stage presence.
With 2024 being Tank’s 24th year professionally in the industry and upon returning to the state where he was raised after moving at a young age, the passion that was felt in him simply saying, “I’m home motherf*ckers” can only be described as encapsulating.
They even had local artist, Kenny Sway, open the show, adding to that hometown feeling.
With this being the first time I heard and saw Tank live, he had a way of commanding attention as soon as he walked onto the stage. Not a scream was unheard, or a phone not recording.
Tank’s smooth vocals and stage presence captivated the audience, showcasing his talent and passion for music. Eruption took place in the audience upon realizing “I Deserve” was one of the first songs.
Tank’s performance at MGM National Harbor proved to serve as a homecoming celebration especially after the singer said he planned to retire from music due to hearing issues before getting inspired and doing a final album.
While the artists did not interact with each other on stage, there was chemistry between the artists’ setlists, enhancing the overall vibe of the show.
“The R&B Money Tour,” which derives from Tank’s successful “R&B Money Podcast” with artist and friend J. Valentine, as well as the title of what he has said is his last album, hit the mark with fans of the three artists and listeners of the genre as a whole.
It served as a night for R&B lovers who wanted to experience the cultivated feeling that comes with R&B and Soul music. A feeling that cannot be duplicated; only emulated by a caliber of artist, regardless of era debut.
