En Vogue is scheduled to perform at halftime of the October 26 WNBA Finals game between the Golden State Valkyries and Atlanta Dream at San Francisco’s Chase Center, the San Francisco Chronicle reported October 22. Dinah Jane is slated to sing the national anthem.
The report identifies the current lineup as Terry Ellis, Cindy Herron and Maxine Jones.
A catalog built around shared vocal power
En Vogue’s place in the conversation reaches beyond a single halftime booking. In its retrospective on Funky Divas, Rhino describes an album on which Ellis, Herron, Jones and original member Dawn Robinson each take lead vocals. Producers and songwriters Denzil Foster and Thomas McElroy helped shape the collection.
The label identifies “My Lovin’ (You’re Never Gonna Get It),” “Free Your Mind” and “Giving Him Something He Can Feel” as Billboard Top 10 singles from the album, which earned triple-platinum certification. Those songs offer distinct entry points into the group’s music: rhythmic insistence, rock-edged confrontation and an intimate soul performance.
For listeners who grew up with those records, a contemporary stage appearance can connect a familiar catalog with a new audience. That is a cultural reading of the booking, not a prediction of the songs the group will choose.
Announcement and performance are separate
No setlist is established by the sources linked here. A scheduled appearance also should not be described as a completed performance. Readers should check the team and venue’s current event information before making attendance plans.
