Tank may have dropped jaws in 2022 when he announced his tenth studio album, ‘R&B Money,‘ would mark his final LP, but this week he dropped jaws for a different reason: an unexpected return to the music scene.

Tapping Fabolous to assist on the new single ‘Before We Get Started,’ the tune sees the 5x GRAMMY nominee sing about easing the worries of a would-be love interest.

“And before we get started / I know your heart is guarded, I know, ooh / Dealin’ with that tender love / Body to body to body / Girl, anywhere, I want you there,” Tank sings on the electric track.

At the time of its Friday (March 8) release, the singer-songwriter did not confirm what larger project ‘Before’ is attached to.

Until official news drops on that, hop inside to get acquainted with the new song (which is accompanied by a Taj and Dre-directed music video).
