Tank will be releasing his eighth studio album SAVAGE this fall. The 11track LP features appearances by Candice Boyd, J. Valentine, Ludacris, and labelmate Trey Songz as well as production from Da Internz, Harmony Samuels, and Cardiak. The lead single "When We" is a sensual "how to" that will lead listeners to a night of high powered unadulterated passion. Contemporary R&B singer Tank, whose moniker refers to his physique, recorded solo albums sporadically, beginning with his 2001 debut Force of Nature, and became increasingly busy behind the scenes as a songwriter, musician, and producer .For several years, he busied himself as a songwriter, musician, and producer. His credits over this time period included songs on Aaliyah (Aaliyah, 2001), Things in the Game Done Changed (Dave Hollister, 2002), I Care 4 U (Aaliyah, 2002), U-Turn (Brian McKnight, 2003), Real Talk (Dave Hollister, 2003), Stronger Everyday (Jon B, 2004), Free Yourself (Fantasia Barrino, 2004), O (Omarion, 2005), Naked (Marques Houston, 2005), Charlie, Last Name Wilson (Charlie Wilson, 2005), Unpredictable (Jamie Foxx, 2005), Journey of a Gemini (Donell Jones, 2006. His third album, Sex, Love & Pain, issued in 2007, was subsequently nominated for a Grammy in the category of Best R&B Album. It's "Please Don't Go" was nominated for Best R&B Male Vocal Performance. In late 2009, he switched labels from Blackground to Atlantic -- the same year he appeared on Chris Brown's Grammy-nominated "Take My Time." His first effort for Atlantic, 2010's Now or Never, included the hit single "Sex Music" and featured Brown on the equally carnal "Foreplay." The singers reunited in 2012 on the single "Lonely," a track that landed on Tank's 2012 album, This Is How I Feel. Along with Tyrese and Ginuwine, Tank formed TGT, who released an album, Three Kings, which debuted at number three in 2013. He quickly resumed solo activity with Stronger, his sixth album, the following year.

Pleasantly Surprised
I was expecting this just to be an extension of last years "SLP 2", but this is actually a much stronger project. "Savage" is a misstep in terms of an album opener and I'm unsure on the Trey Songz and Ludacris featured "Everything", but the rest of the project, compared to "SLP 2", offers more of the vocal stylings, arrangements and compositions that fans of Tanks' older projects will be accustomed to, but as with "SLP 2", everything is still tailored to suit today's musical landscape. Admittedly, the project does not compare to projects like "Force Of Nature" or "Sex, Love and Pain" and the lyrics in places get extremely crass (again, as with "SLP 2"), but this is still a very good album.People may be thrown off of course due to the comments Tank made following his comments shortly after the release of his "Stronger" album, but I don't think too many people will be disappointed with this release, provided they are willing to give this a chance.

Good but could do with more tracks!
I've been following Tank since his first album, he has changed his style, no more emotional/deep tracks but nonetheless still good, Given this 4 stars as the price was high for only 11 tracks..
