THIS YEARS ESSENCE FESTIVAL WAS ONE FOR THE BOOKS! I’ve been attending and performing at ESSENCE FEST for years and years, probably since 2005. Whether it was w/ Janet Jackson, or Jill SCott, or LL COOL J or super lounge after super lounge, The Vibes have always been High…… BUT IN #2025 I hit that Main stage as myself, my own artist, ADAM BLACKSTONE!!! Im so thankful to #GOD for this Evolution and so Humbled by the support of everyone for these past 20years!! We were able to do something so so special by bringing The Legacy Experience to New Orleans to celebrate the soundtrack of WAITING TO EXHALE!
