TLC (band)
On August 14, 2007, T-Boz spoke with CyberTLC World about upcoming plans which included her solo album which she had already begun recording. No planned release date on the album at the moment. In that interview, Watkins also spoke about a possible TLC movie which bandmember Rozonda Thomas is pretty interested in making. At the moment there is no word whether or not T-Boz and Chilli will be playing themselves. An upcoming TLC-related television program is also in the works as well as an "uplifting" book that Watkins is currently writing. During the interview, Tionne also spoke about TLC's future as a group, stating it was not likely that there will ever be another album from the group but that there will possibly be a farewell tour sometime before she releases her solo project. A full interview can be found on the TLC fansite, CyberTLC World.
Thomas' debut solo album titled, "Bipolar" is scheduled to be released September 2. The first single, "Dumb Dumb Dumb" was released to radio in Atlanta by Thomas herself in April. She will be releasing her album through her own label, "Tron Muzik" for which the major label distribution will be announced soon. To promote her new single, Thomas has been appear at various radio stations across the country. She also recently held a contest to pick dancers for her upcoming promotional tour. The contest was also to create a "Dumb Dumb Dumb" dance, for which she is still looking for.
