Koffee Brown are an American contemporary R\&B and neo‑soul duo originally composed of female vocalist Vernell “Vee” Sales and male singer Falonte “Fonz” Moore. Formed in Minneapolis around 1997, they were brought together by industry stalwarts Kay Gee and RL of Next and signed to Arista Records. Their smooth, laid‑back chemistry quickly resonated with audiences ([allmusic.com][1], [en.wikipedia.org

Their debut—and eventually only—album, ***Mars/Venus***, was released on March 6, 2001, blending jazzy grooves with narratives reflecting male-female relationships. The lead single, “After Party,” became their signature hit, climbing to No. 44 on the Billboard Hot 100 and reaching No. 10 on the R\&B charts. Though follow-up “Weekend Thing” charted modestly at No. 71 on the R\&B chart, the album secured a respectable No. 32 on the Billboard 200 and No. 7 on the R\&B album chart

Despite the buzz, Koffee Brown disbanded in 2001—shortly after *Mars/Venus* dropped—and neither Vee nor Fonz released solo albums at the time 

In 2024, Koffee Brown resurfaced with a refreshed lineup: original member Vee returned alongside new male vocalist Ryan Lane. They released a heartfelt cover of Keith Sweat’s “Make It Last Forever,” followed by original singles “About It” (featuring Vin‑Rock) and “Simple Things,” produced by Kay Gee, as preludes to an anticipated EP slated for 2025
