Tank: “Tyrese Would Never Jeopardize Dre’s Beats Deal” [Video]

R&B heartthrob Tank chopped it up with VladTV during BET weekend in LA and shared his thoughts on everything from his solo projects to getting back in the studio with Ginuwine and Tyrese for another TGT album. Tank spoke on the TGT collective as well as their record label having conversations about making another album soon, which is something that is definitely in the works. For now, Tank is focused on his upcoming solo release due to drop August 12th, featuring his new single, “You’re My Star.” When asked what it’s like when TGT hits the road together, the “Maybe I Deserve” singer reveals that it is far crazier than any of the three of them imagined it would be. He also briefly addresses accusations that groupmate Tyrese may have jeopardized Dr. Dre’s Beats deal with his too early celebration video going viral.

Tank Talks Albums That Changed His Life [Video]

Tank is back with new solo music and currently readying the release of his forthcoming album ‘Stronger,” due out this summer. The R&B singer/songwriter’s sixth studio effort has been lead by the soulful and lively single “You’re My Star,” and will be a step in a new direction for him sonically. While talking about the upcoming release in our recent sit-down with him in NYC, we asked Tank to take us back and reflect on some of the albums or songs that really changed his life. Being raised in the church and on mostly Gospel music in his youth it was of course the more clean cut R&B of the late ’80s that affected him, primarily the New Edition ‘Heartbreak’ album, and Babyface’s ‘Tender Lover.’ That was until R. Kelly released “Down Low,” off his 1995 self-titled album, and made Tank a diehard fan!

Tank Talks “You’re My Star”, “Stronger” Album, Jerry Wonda & More [Video]

Tank is on a mission to make a bold comeback, delivering classic feel-good R&B with a 2014 twist. ThisisRnB TV caught up with the singer/songwriter in NYC for a new interview to discuss his new single “You’re My Star,” his upcoming album ‘Stronger,’ and outlook on life. In this clip, Tank takes us through the creative process of making and recording “You’re My Star,” which started off from a sample of the Jackson 5 classic “This Place Hotel,” and with the help of master producer Harvey Mason Jr. turned into the lively, soulful tribute to woman everywhere that we hear now. We had to know though, will Tank be taking a break from the classic baby-makin’ tunes that we’ve come to expect from him? “There are a few moments where you would want to make a baby,” explains Tank about the new album. “But, I think that it’s not a transition out of that, it’s an album that speaks to a different place that I am in my life and my career.” Part of the inspiration behind the new sound came from a meeting Tank had with Grammy-winning producer Jerry Wonda, who ended up creating at least 4 of the records on the LP, one of which will be the second single, and a sound which not only celebrates women with tempo, but celebrates real music and having fun in life.
