Taking some time away from the recording schedule, TLC bandmate Chilli sat down with Billboard magazine to share some details about the upcoming and highly anticipated Kickstarter album.
Last year, all-girl group TLC took to crowdfunding giant with a mission to raise $150,000 for their fifth and final album. The group was started in the early 90’s and became a huge sensation throughout the years thanks to their popular hip-hop tunes.
The band experienced a devastating situation in the early 2000’s when Lisa “Left-Eye” Lopes died in a car accident. The ladies, Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas and Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins, since then have been in and out of the music scene over the years, but were ready to answer their fans’ prayers with a new album that features new music.
During the interview, Chilli discussed the album’s progress:
“We’re trying to finish up the album, and after today, [it will be] day in, day out, just getting this album done. I’ll just say this: We’re bringing back our interludes. We’ve come up with some really fun, funny stuff for people to enjoy.”
Although the album is still in the works, fans can now listen to Chilli’s solo track “Body,” which she recorded for her new CIZE dance routine. In regards to her dancing, Chilli added:
“I just kind of thought about working out and your body and how hard it is for people to work out and stay on that path, and those were the lyrics. So when I talked to the producer, Javon, and the other writer, Minka, I would just tell them exactly what I wanted to say, and I said, ‘The beat has to make people want to dance.’ That’s how it came to life.”
