Beside Jean Morris,
Renee Neufville was one-half of
Zhané. The duo's sweet and easy grooves, released on the Motown label, were a significant ingredient of commercial R&B radio during the '90s; "Hey Mr. DJ," "Groove Thang," "Sending My Love," and "Request Line" were all Top Ten R&B hits. Upon
Zhané's split,
Neufville became a valued collaborator with the likes of
Next,
Will Downing, and
Heather Headley all benefiting from her input. More prominently, she became a recording and touring member of
Roy Hargrove's
RH Factor project, as heard on the
Verve releases
Hard Groove (2003),
Strength (2004), and
Distractions (2006). In 2015, following several years of additional low-key collaborations,
Neufville released her debut solo single, "Watching Me." The uplifting midtempo song recalled her late-'70s/early-'80s-inspired work with
Zhané. ~ Andy Kellman
