Tyrese Forms Super Group "TGT" with Genuwine & Tank
May 24, 2007 04:05:20
While many once-great R&B groups has come ill fated, Tyrese Gibson keeps his spirit high by forming a group with buddies Ginuwine and Tank. Not taking too much trouble naming the group the trio simply employ TGT, an abbreviation of Tyrese-Ginuwine-Tank.
"Imagine us putting all three of our worlds together for the ultimate R&B fan experience," Tyrese said during a phone interview. "Me, Tank and Ginuwine been talking about this forever. The reason why this makes sense is that besides all of us being R&B singers, we're all good friends. In this industry, you can't have a real conversation with a lot of people. It almost feels like you're having a conversation with somebody famous, instead of having a real conversation. Every time I see Tank, every time I see Ginuwine, we all had good energy regardless."

Kelly Rowland has been working on her sophomore album since 2005, yet the talked about album did not hit the stores the following year. Two title changes and three altered release dates after, Rowland's album is finally set for official release on June 26.
The album actually was meant to be out on July 11, 2006, yet according to the artist's manager, Matthew Knowles, a longer period is needed to prepare the project. "We want to make sure our marketing strategy is a multi-tiered approach that capitalizes on the synergies afforded by her other projects." The album was also initially titled "My Story: Kelly Rowland", but was eventually changed to "Ms. Kelly" (2007).
