Tank is one of the most recognizable names in modern R&B, known for vivid storytelling and sensual love songs. He’s an icon in the making, with four albums and eight Grammy nominations under his belt. He’s also a singer who carries the torch of masters like Marvin Gaye and Al Green, while redefining R&B for a new decade. For singer/songwriter/producer Tank—about to release his Atlantic Records debut Now or Never, his first album in three years, and the one he describes as his most confident yet—the secret is simple. He remains true to who he is, as a man and an artist. “My music is the real me,” says Tank. “I’ll either live by that or I’ll die by that in this business, but I’ve got to be me.” He’s famous for sexy yet relatable love songs that are at once thoroughly modern and yet steeped in the sounds of classic soul. Though fans know and love Tank for smash hits like “Maybe I Deserve” and “Please Don’t Go,” they may be surprised to learn that he is also behind such chart-toppers as Rubben Studdard’s “Change Me” and Omarion’s “O.” What’s more, Tank served as an associate member of the hit-making production team, The Underdogs, with further credits including the smash soundtrack to the 2006 musical film adaptation of Dreamgirls (in which he also made a cameo). Since releasing his previous album Sex, Love, & Pain in 2007, Tank took a moment to step out of the spotlight, but not necessarily out of the studio. He formed the Los Angeles-based production company Song Dynasty, and began shaping the sound of modern R&B with songs for a diverse roster of artists including Keyshia Cole, Jennifer Hudson, Jamie Foxx, Chris Brown, and Keri Hilson. Though he has enjoyed crafting hits for these artists, Tank is ready to step into the spotlight yet again, and returns with an incredibly personal collection. “I put a lot of my personal business into my music because people relate to it. I sing based upon the things that I’ve been through. I don’t just sing about the pain, I sing about getting through it. Whether I’m singing about sex, relationships, or the occasional party, the songs are still about classic R&B themes.” Poised to release his fourth studio album Now or Never, Tank is ready to share the intensely intimate themes his fans have come to love, even as he prepares to show an entirely new side of himself. “The sound of this new album is still the traditional R&B formula, but sonically it’s very current,” says Tank. His first single, “Sex Music,” perfectly illustrates his new sound. The high-energy track lives up to its name with a spacey, shuddering beat. Produced by Song Dynasty with Harvey Mason Jr. (Dreamgirls, Kelly Clarkson, Justin Timberlake), “Sex Music” is sure to appeal to die-hard Tank fans. “We’re going to keep pressing forward with this R&B thing,” promises Tank. During the process of bringing Now or Never to life, he’s experimented with new technology and new collaborators, even as he explores the themes that have always moved him. “Emergency” is an emotional ballad with a sense of humor, comparing a woman’s desire to a four-alarm fire. “You Mean that Much” is a soaring, orchestral anthem. “Can I Make Love”, says Tank, “is self-explanatory... I’m known for having songs that give you an opportunity to not say much. All you need is a little eye contact, and it’s on.” These timeless songs of love, lust, and loss take cinematic tone in the hands of Tank, as he crafts imagery that is uniquely tangible and real. Perhaps it’s his new love of acting that has deepened his storytelling. Tank recently graced the screen in The Preacher’s Kid, and he has been studying acting, though he promises that music will continue to be his first love. “We have to take this stand now because R&B is slowly becoming a lost art,” explains Tank. “R&B music is the thing that connects people.” Though he loves a fantasy party scene as much as any man, Tank writes about the real, everyday emotions and situations that people relate to because, as he says, “we’re meant to move people with this music, and I want to be part of that movement.” It’s been an incredible journey since Tank was an undiscovered artist with a dream, penning “Maybe I Deserve” in the basement of his mother’s Maryland home, on “an MPC and two keyboards.” The single would go on to dominate urban radio in 2001, when Tank released his gold-certified debut album Force of Nature. Though he has enjoyed remarkable successes throughout his career, Tank considers Now or Never the album when “it all came together.” The title doesn’t just refer to the urgency he feels within R&B as a whole, but also the growth he’s done over the years as an artist. Now re-emerging with a new team and a renewed confidence in his music, Tank is ready to have these songs heard. “Everything I’ve been through has prepared me for this moment right now. I’ve got a new deal, new energy and new people around who are just as excited about the album as I am. Everything I’ve learned over the years as a producer, writer and artist have gone into Now or Never.”Google（譯）： Tank是在現代R&B，生動的講故事，感性的情歌最知名的歌手之一。在本作中，他是一個偶像，在他的皮帶四張專輯和8項格萊美提名。他也是一名歌手Marvin Gaye的文學大師和Al Green的火炬，同時重新定義一個新的10年的R&B。歌手/詞曲作者/生產Tank釋放他的大西洋唱片公司的deb UT機不可失，時不再來，在三年內，他的第一張專輯和他所描述的他最有信心的秘訣很簡單。他仍然是正確的，他是誰，作為一個人，一個藝術家。“我的音樂是真實的我，說：”Tank。“我要么住在這個行業，我會死，但我必須是我。” 他是著名不失性感的聲音誕生的愛情的歌曲，在一次徹底的現代化，還沉浸在聲音經典的靈魂。雖然球迷們知道和愛Tank流行的歌曲如“也許是我應得的”和“不請去”，他們可能會感到驚訝，以學習，他是還落後等圖表，TOPPERS Rubben Studdard的“更改密碼”和歐瑪瑞的“Ø ，“更重要的是，Tank服的聯營公司成員的命中，使生產隊，在冷門，進一步學分的粉碎配樂的2006年音樂電影改編的”夢幻女郎“中，他還提出一個有浮雕的貝殼。由於釋放他上一張專輯的性別，愛情，疼痛在2007年，Tank花了一點時間走出聚光燈下，但不一定的工作室。他成立的總部位於洛杉磯的製作公司宋王朝，並開始塑造現代ŕ和乙與一個不同名冊的藝術家包括Keyshia科爾，珍妮弗·哈德森，傑米·福克斯，克里斯·布朗，Keri Hilson的歌曲聲。雖然他已經享受各具特色點擊這些藝術家，Tank是準備步驟再次成為矚目的焦點，並返回一個令人難以置信的個人收藏。“我放了很多人，因為在我的音樂我的個人業務涉及到它。我經歷過的事情，我為您歌唱根據。我不只是唱歌，我唱的痛苦獲得通過。無論我我唱關於性，關係，或在偶爾黨的歌曲仍然大約經典的R&B主題。“ 已作好準備，以釋放他的第四個錄音室專輯機不可失，時不再來，Tank是準備共享強烈親密的主題他的球迷們都來向愛，甚至為他準備展現一個全新的一邊自言自語。“這張新專輯中的聲音仍然是傳統的R&B的公式，但聲音是極電流，說：”Tank。他的第一首單曲，“性別音樂，完美地演繹了他的新的聲音。高能量的軌道辜負它的名字與斯派西，顫抖著節拍。生產的宋哈維·梅森（“夢幻女郎”，凱利克拉克森，賈斯汀·汀布萊克），“性音樂”是頑固的Tank球迷一定要抗訴。“我們將繼續推進與R&B的事情，”承諾Tank。現在或從不把生活在這個過程中，他嘗試用新的技術和新的合作夥伴，即使他探討的主題，一直打動了他。“緊急情況”是一個情緒化的民謠與幽默感，女人的欲望比較四火警。他說：“你的意思是多”是一飛沖天，管弦樂國歌。“我的愛”說，Tank，“是不言自明... 我知道的歌曲，給你一個機會並不多說。所有你需要的是一個小眼睛接觸，這是對的。“ 這些永恆的愛情，欲望，和損失的歌曲，電影的基調Tank手，他工藝品的圖像是獨一無二的有形的和真實的。也許這是他的新歡的作用，加深了他講故事。Tank最近登上了螢幕在牧師的孩子，他一直在學習演技，但他承諾將繼續是他的初戀，音樂。“我們現在必須採取這一立場，因為R&B正在慢慢成為一項失傳的藝術，解釋說：”Tank。“R&B音樂的，連人的東西。”雖然他愛一個幻想黨的場景不亞於任何人，Tank寫入有關的真正的，日常的情緒和情況下，人涉及到，因為正如他所說，“我們正意味著到這樣的音樂打動人心的，我想是這一運動的一部分。“ 它是被一個令人難以置信的旅程，因為Tank是一個未被發現的藝術家同一個夢想，抒發“也許是我活該”在他母親的馬里蘭州家的地下室，上“的MPC和兩個鍵盤。“單會去主宰城市電台在2001年，當Tank推出了他的金牌認證的首張專輯自然之力。雖然他已享有顯著的成就在他的職業生涯，Tank認為機不可失，時不再來的專輯時，“它都來到一起。”的標題不僅僅指的緊迫性，他覺得ŕ和乙作為一個整體內，但也的增長，他的做多這些年來作為一個藝術家。現在重新出現的一個新的團隊和新的信心在他的音樂中，Tank是準備好了這些歌曲。“我經歷過的一切準備，現在我為這一刻。我有一個新的協定，新能源和新周圍的人一樣興奮的專輯我。經驗告訴我，這些年來，作為一個製片人，作家和藝術家的一切已經進入機不可失，時不再來。
