Editor's note

2XL, the brief R&B duo with Ne-Yo and Tor Erik Hermansen

A short-lived but memorable project that produced tracks like 'Magic City' and 'Bedrock'.

If you're checking them out, 'Magic City' is the obvious place to start. 'Bedrock' and 'Kitty Kat' give you a good sense of their sound, too.

Even though 2XL only lasted a few years, they left behind songs that still pop up on R&B playlists today. 'Magic City' with Cherish became their most recognized track, and 'Bedrock' has that same sticky quality. Their blend of R&B, pop, and hip-hop elements gave those songs a specific early-2000s feel that still works.

Ne-Yo and Tor Erik Hermansen released their self-titled debut in 2003, followed by '2XL II' in 2005. After that second album, they moved on to focus on their separate, more prominent careers. Their time as a duo was brief, but songs like 'Magic City' and 'Bedrock' kept the name in circulation.
