En Vogue has won seven MTV Video Music Awards, three Soul Train Awards, two American Music Awards, and received seven Grammy nominations.
Alan Grunblatt, President of Urban and Rock/Metal, eOne Music, says, “I have been a big fan over the years, but when I saw their incredible performance on the Showtime Live at The Apollo Special in 2016, I knew we had to sign them to the eOne label. The group is another great addition to our fantastic roster.”
