Dru Hill, Bobby V and The Product G&B take over Barasti Beach for one night only
Dubai is set to turn up the heat on Saturday, 24 May, as Barasti Beach hosts an epic throwback celebration under the stars. Titled The Kings of R&B, this electrifying night will see a lineup of R&B legends grace the stage with timeless hits and silky smooth vocals — including Bobby V, Dru Hill, Horace Brown and The Product G&B.
Dru Hill
Synonymous with the golden era of '90s R&B, Dru Hill are true icons of the genre. Hailing from Baltimore, the group, led by powerhouse vocalist Sisqó, rose to fame with hits like 'In My Bed,' 'Never Make a Promise,' and 'How Deep Is Your Love.' Known for their soulful harmonies and high-energy performances, they helped define a decade of slow jams that still resonate today.
Bobby V
A smooth operator with velvet vocals, Bobby V (formerly Bobby Valentino) took the 2000s by storm with his breakout single 'Slow Down,' which climbed the Billboard charts and became a club favourite around the world. With hits like 'Tell Me' and 'Anonymous' and collaborations with everyone from Ludacris to Nicki Minaj, revellers can anticipate a performance laced with rhythm, groove, and serious vocal prowess.
Horace Brown
A true R&B cult favourite, Horace Brown made waves in the mid-'90s with his slick vocals and effortlessly cool swagger. Known for tracks like 'One for the Money' and 'Things We Do for Love,' his music remains a soulful staple for fans of classic R&B grooves.
The Product G&B
Best known for collaborating with Carlos Santana on the Grammy-winning 'Maria Maria,' The Product G&B brought a fresh fusion of Latin vibes and R&B melodies to the airwaves. With a genre-blending style on tracks like 'Cluck, Cluck' fans can expect a nostalgic set under the stars.
With beachfront views, cool drinks, and some of the most unforgettable voices in R&B history, The Kings of R&B at Barasti Beach promises a night of pure nostalgia and musical magic.
We'll see you there.

Dubai: Macy Gray to play at Coca-Cola Arena
We are dreaming of seeing R&B legend Macy Gray, and that dream is all set to come true this month. The I Try singer will bring her raspy vocals to the Coca-Cola Arena on August 29 as part of a global tour that celebrates 25 years of her triple-platinum debut album, On How Life Is. The soul singer has over the years dispatched 25 million records, won a grammy, been nominated five times, and has even been recognised by the BRIT Awards twice. Recommended For You Hits by American actress-musician Gray, whose real name is Natalie Renée McIntyre, include Leave Me Lonely, Time of My Life , and Sweet Baby. Last year, the singer made headlines not for her signature soundtracks but because she was hospitalised. During a stint on MTV's The Surreal Life: Villa of Secrets, she revealed that she had been taking the diabetes (and weight-loss) medication Ozempic. She had suffered a number of side-effects, which landed her at one point in hospital. She explained that she tried the medicine, because she's 'kind of a vain person'. 'I've gained a lot of weight over the past couple years, and this is right about the time when everybody starts talking about this Ozempic,' she was quoted as saying by 'So, I thought, okay, I'm not taking [the weight] off the right way, let me see if I can get one of these.' Has it affected her prowess on the stage? Get ready to find out. Dh99 (Bronze); Dh199 (Silver); Dh299 (Gold); Dh399 (Diamond). Aug 29, 8pm. Coca-Cola Arena. Doors open at 6.30pm. webteam@

UAE Lottery scratch cards: Residents can win up to Dh1 million
UAE residents can now win up to Dh1 million courtesy of four new scratch cards introduced by the UAE Lottery. These cards, which can be purchased online on the game's website, have unique themes and prize pools and cost between Dh5 and Dh50. Targeting cricket lovers, the Wicket Winnings card has a sporty theme, has a Dh5 entry point and offers quick prizes of up to Dh50,000. The Jungle Jewels is a fun game which has rewards hidden behind every key. The card, which has a top prize of Dh100,000, costs Dh10. Meanwhile, for just Dh20, players can win up to Dh300,000 with the House of Gold game. The Cash Splash card helps gamers to enjoy a fast-paced, prize-packed game where they can win up to Dh1 million for Dh50 per card. Operated by The Game LLC, the UAE Lottery has been regulated by the General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority (GCGRA) and was launched late in 2024 with a Dh100 million jackpot prize. Since then, the company has launched several smaller, quick-win games to keep engaging with UAE residents. In an earlier interview with K haleej Times, Bishop Woosley, Director of Lottery Operations at The Game, stated that people will soon be able to walk into a store and purchase tickets. However, it is not yet clear when that initiative will be rolled out. Earlier this week, nine winners bagged Dh100,000 each during the game's fortnightly draw. So far, no one has bagged the Dh100 million jackpot, but a spokesperson from the company had said that it was only a matter of time before someone wins the life-altering amount. The UAE Lottery has implemented several measures to ensure responsible gaming practices. In December, the company partnered with Takalam, an AI-powered mental health platform, to give players support when they need it. James Boyles, Group Director for Responsible Gaming at the company, had earlier told Khaleej Times that they closely 'monitor player behaviour' and 'intervene when necessary' to ensure the safety of gamers.
