TLC Announce New Album / Welcome Lil Mama To Group

Published: Thursday 25th Jul 2013 by David

This October, TLC will welcome the release of their ‘CrazySexyCool’ biopic via VH1.

So, as to turn the movie’s lemons into a commercial lemon meringue, the ladies have announced that they are to release a brand new album via LA Reid‘s EPIC...and welcoming Lil Mama to the group.

Exciting details below…

In no way replacing Lisa ‘Left Eye’ Lopes, Mama’s time with the group will see her start with a performance at the Mixtape Festival with her new found pals on July 27th, months before October 15th sees the release of their brand new music!

One week later- on October 21st- the group will welcome the release of their aforementioned biopic, starring Mama as Lisa and directed by ‘Paid in Full’s Charles Stone III.

According to numerous reports, their new release may feature contributions from ‘Practice’ purveyor Drake and will see mark the latest major signing EPIC has made since welcoming LA Reid as its CEO, following the arrivals of  Tamar Braxton and R&B Queen Ciara.

Though a new album would be great, perhaps it’d make more sense for EPIC to release a special edition of ‘CrazySexyCool’, which would come with two or three original songs.

For, with it being the name of the movie- and their most recognisable album title to date- there’s a serious opportunity to revive the LP through the movie, raking in a profit that could be used to fund the campaign for an entirely new album in the months to follow.

In saying that, we’d be down for whatever they choose to do, and can’t but commend Reid for getting behind the girls once again!

Peep the trailer here!

  3. Paula July 25, 2013

    RnB Queen Ciara? Lmao. Behave yourself at once.

    • ggee July 25, 2013

      ikr!! number 20 on week 2!! LOL!!

      • FAF July 25, 2013

        The single is top 30 after 13 weeks, though & she has 2 entries on BBhot100

        who else ?

        What other R&B female ? I’ll wait ……….

        Anyway, back to the TOPIC,

        WTH lil mama ?

    • FutureCIARA July 25, 2013

      RnB Queen Ciara is right!

      @Paula that would make you the queen of Peach Cobbler and home pastries being that every company in America has dropped her fat ass!

      Now go and tell your fav Its about time that she BEHAVED herself!

  4. k July 25, 2013

    Lil mama better get this in her head she can never replace left eye,and w-tf is TLC trying to pull by pulling this stunt,they will be no TLC without left eye.

  5. Daniel Teflon July 25, 2013

    Hmm Lil Mama added to TLC I’m sure it will sound Kewl she has a certain kinda swag to her but I still don’t think of TLC as a great group not sure why~ only one who serves vocals is Tionne T-Boz her voice is very unique!!… Congradz I suppose..

  6. Not here for LIL MAMA July 25, 2013

    Can’t believe they picked LIL MAMA to fill Lisa’s iconic shoes. I’d rather they went with an unknown rapper who was TIGHT rather than lil mama ol wack self. If she gon stand beside Chilli and TBoz, she betta bring it.

    That’s all.

    • YouDidn’tEvenKnowIt July 26, 2013

      You ain’t never lied! Wth Tionne and Chilli????

  7. nobitchassness July 25, 2013

    Woah, my comment got deleted :/

    I feel hurt TGJ.

  8. Rue July 25, 2013

    TLC will NEVER and CAN’T ever replace Lefteye! LOL, this isn’t other girl groups! If when Lisa was Alice they did not even DARE replace her! WHAT would make you think they would now!

    Hershey Park show should look awesome!

  9. Cream July 25, 2013

    It’s going to flop but good luck to them dc3>>>>>>>>>>

  10. LE✪N July 25, 2013

    They are also working with Lady Gaga and Ne-Yo

  11. JJFan1814 July 25, 2013

    Well!!! I’ll trust their decision!!

    Can’t wait for new music!

  12. Mark111 July 25, 2013

    A bit of an age gap, but I’m happy for Lil Mama and for TLC getting back into the music. With that said, it will never be the same without Left Eye. 🙁

  13. KING RIH July 25, 2013

    The same ones complaining about Lil Mama on these blogs/twitter are the same ones who wouldn’t buy the album or go to their tour. She is just joining them for one performance.

  14. Dev July 25, 2013

    Lil Mama in the main picture looks like Stacey Dash.

    • ggee July 25, 2013

      omg!! i was just about to type that…..stop stealing my thoughts b****!! lil mama got a nose job. it looks good tho

  15. Lovebird ( come ride a train on me) July 25, 2013

    I’m convinced LA Reid wants to lose his job, no original ideas so far. I appreciate EVERYTHING TLC has achieved but I personally do not feel a new album is a good idea, especially looking at the current state of RnB music,

    • YouDidn’tEvenKnowIt July 26, 2013

      Um they are pop/rnb group. Oooooohhhhhh on the TLC tip was their only rnb album.

  16. FAF July 25, 2013

    The trailer for the actual movie looks good, though… They did their makeup to a T esp in the “No Scrubs” scene. I”ll watch it

  17. Rosie July 25, 2013

    …Lil Mama though?

  18. Brazilian Beyonce!!! July 25, 2013

    Scrubs>>>

  19. My Forehead Tho July 25, 2013

    Good for her. One thing I admire about Lil mama is her ability to persevere. Who cares if her face is a representation of all of mankind’s struggles both past and present. You got to admit that her passion for her craft is admirable.

  20. Katy kat July 25, 2013

    Ewwww wtf no

  21. Rihanna # 1 Fan T July 25, 2013

    i thought they said the end of july vh1 would show it

  22. Jayla July 25, 2013

    TLC Best selling Female R&B group of all time!!!!! And Highest grossing tour for female R&B groups, because we know how much the gays love to count these celebrities’ money, so there you have it, TLC>>>>>…. No Group after them has and will not top their impact

    • O July 25, 2013

      Spice Girls are the 1selling female group of all time, Destiny Child # 2 and then TLC

      • Jayla July 25, 2013

        READING is important, I said BEST SELLING FEMALE R&B GROUP OF ALL TIME!!!! Spice Girls are not R&B. And NO DC is BEHIND TLC!

    • O July 25, 2013

      DC sold over 75 million and TLC 65 million. Google it the charts and # don’t lie.

  23. xtinaaLovee July 25, 2013

    Boooooo!!

  24. Todd July 25, 2013

    Dafuq? I have nothin against Lil Mama,but…. this is not cool !
    PS And i hope Drake and CBrown will soon leave Aaliyah alone!

  25. gorg July 25, 2013

    Good for her. I’m not knocking anyone’s hussle. Lil mama looks GORGEOUS!!! I always knew she had pretty eyes but dang girl.. 🙂

  26. JP July 25, 2013

    I’m interested to see how this turns out. Always looking forward to new TLC music. T-boz better get her ass to a gym ASAP…and I’m hoping they deliver an edgy modern sound fused with classic TLC. I’m excited.

  27. Shawn152 July 25, 2013

    NO! I can’t with this…

  28. lala July 25, 2013

    Tlc Berta step up cost.. lil mama got mad energy and skills… and youth on her side lol

  29. Jaiyah July 25, 2013

    I think if they’re gonna do it, the new group should be called TLC with Lil mama, like they have Maze with Frankie Beverly. I think naming it like that will stop some confusion of ppl feeling like lil mama is trying go replace left eye. Just a thought.

  30. Damo July 25, 2013

    Please these headlines always confuse the stories! LITTLE MAMA IS NOT JOINING TLC she is just doing one gig with them at the mixtape festival as it is part of the promo for the movie! TLC have no plans to replace Lisa!

  31. BCinKS July 25, 2013

    *record scratch* R&B Queen Ciara? I’ll give you DANCE queen Ciara, but R&B queen, she is not.

    On topic, I’m not mad at Lil Mama at all. Shawty Get Loose was so underrated.

  32. EveRyder July 25, 2013

    Wait did I miss sumthin…………I don’t understand why ppl bash or what do ppl have against lil mama. She deserves to get and cash checks like everybody else in the industry or world. The only dumb and crazy thing she ever done was run up on stage with jay z and alicia keys at the awards. That was yrs ago so ppl should’ve moved on bcuz I knw they all have. Ppl gettin the wrong understanding about her joinin tlc as a member…….she’s not only for the performance this weekend at hershey park. The girl got a nice rap flow. Check out her freestyle to lil wayne a milli and her new song she dropped a couple wks ago called fireball/heat. Ppl doubted and bashed tlc, vh1,and lil mama,drew,and keke about this movie but now everybody wants to see atfer seein the trailer.

  33. Jayla July 25, 2013

    Reading is important, I said BEST SELLING R&B FEMALE GROUP, and no DC did not outsell TLC

  34. Csquad July 25, 2013

    They just need to hang it up and just be that legendary best selling group that TLC is

  35. Belladonna1363 July 25, 2013

    OMG!OMG!OMG!OMG!OMG!OMG!OMG! The New King Of Pop Lady Gaga ( Beyonce is the New Queen) Will Perform at The Greasiest Award Show where only the best of The Best get to Come & Par take in. Lol The King Of The Gods is Here & She’s not going Any F*CKEN WHERE B*TCHSSSSSSSS!!!!!!! Touch this Skin Touch All of this skin Honeyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!! 10.10.10.10.10 ! 10s Across The Board B*tch!

  36. Damo July 25, 2013

    here is a quote from T Boz, regarding Lil Mama joining them for one event! ““People will be talking after Saturday. We’ve got some surprises for you guys. No one else will ever be a member of this group. But, we’ve got plans.” – T Boz (Source Perez Hilton)

  37. rnblover July 25, 2013

    R&B Queen Ciara? EPIC FAIL

  38. JER July 25, 2013

    Well she was on the biopic so whatever. These days you gotta get your TLC any way you can. At least TLC waited 10 years after the death of a member to replace her, not while she was out sick in the next hotel room

  39. IM A FREE B*TCH July 25, 2013

    R&B QUEEN CIARA?! HAHAHAHAHAHA LMAO

  40. Girl-hey July 25, 2013

    what ever happened to “Oh So Krispy”? off the TLC reality show?

  41. Matty July 26, 2013

    Why do you need a rapper Tlv? Just continue as a duo, and have guest rappers! not saying you can’t do this and it wont werk, just lil mama, is a WEIRD choice. Seeing as how she’s also playing left eye in the movie.

  42. eric July 26, 2013

    Lil Mama will add youth and personality to the group. I think that’s why they made the decision. And they won’t need to re-release CrazySexyCool, because the movie itself will do the work of selling it. A new album with Lil Mama is the right move.

  43. aalan July 28, 2013

    It Would be wrong for tlc to replace lisa and lil mama got talent she’s great , but tlc performming with lil mama I think lil mama will out do chilli and t-boz , lil mama is young she raps and dance and also can sings 100times better than chilli and t-boz , and I’m so happy for the tlc come back too young to remember them but their icons
