Faith Evans Returns | Reality Show & New Album
E1 Television and E1 Music have teamed up with Faith Evans, recording artist, New York Times best-selling author, wife, mother and entrepreneur, to release a new studio album and reality series.
E1 Television, in partnership with Faith Evans and Ten2One Entertainment, has developed a new reality series, “It’s All About Faith,” chronicling Evans’ return to the music scene after a 5-year hiatus. Viewers will get a glimpse into her grind behind the music as Evans juggles a lively home life and resurgent career with her husband/manager Todd Russaw and their four children. Each episode will take you into the very real life of this superwoman as she shares her personal experiences in and out of the spotlight.
Simultaneously, Evans has been hard at work recording new material for her highly anticipated 6th studio album on her imprint, Prolific Music Group, to be distributed by E1 Music. With a career spanning over a decade in the music industry, Faith has released 3 Platinum-certified albums (“Faith,” “Keep The Faith” and “Faithfully,”), the Gold-certified “The First Lady,” and the holiday classic, “A Faithful Christmas.” Evans is a 5-time Grammy nominee and winner for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group for “I’ll Be Missing You,” an homage to her late husband and hip-hop legend Notorious B.I.G. Once again, Evans is set to take the music world by storm.
“Working with Faith on her new highly anticipated album and this compelling reality series is a perfect example of how E1 Entertainment is implementing its strategy of utilizing its three business pillars — Television, Film and Music,” stated John Morayniss, CEO of E1 Television. “We’re excited to be able to offer artists working in multiple creative fields and disciplines the opportunity to partner with E1 in all of our complementary businesses. Ultimately, this allows us to help them reach the largest possible audience around the world.”
Faith Evan adds, “2010 is shaping up to be an amazing year for me! To be in a place where I have grown from an entertainer to an entrepreneur is truly a blessing. I am excited to share this incredible experience with my fans and the world.”

I don't think it's a channel--I think it's the producer of the show. It doesn't list a channel yet.
But sheesh, does everybody need a reality show?

There is a God! Best R&B singer ever (tied with Mary of course... don't want to start any negativity because this is Faith's day finally)! I am so happy for her...but if she has another baby and leaves me for 3-5 years again I might harm myself! lmao... Can't wait to hear more about the deals!!!

Honey, boo. I'm not even a fan of Taylor like that, so you can take that somewhere. But she's definitely sh!tting on the charts more than Baby Strain and Faith have within the last five years. That's for damn sure!
LMAO @ Faith not being a has been. Luckily, I like her. But I'm tired of these reality shows of the used to bes trying to get their careers back together.

I'm tired of these has beens and these reality shows. It's called hustling, and sometimes an artist has to resort to that in order to remind people that they're actually good and worth another chance. Faith is extremely talented - not just as a singer, but a songwriter. I had no idea she wrote nearly all of her debut album until I glanced over the booklet today. I was amazed. The shade is not necessary. Remote controls were created for a reason. Hit the next channel and keep it moving. |

No disrespect, though. I do understand where you're coming from with the reality shows. But on the other hand, Faith isn't some no-talent with nothing to offer. It's a catch 22 when you need a promotional avenue to get your music out there.
I wish Faith the best.

The First Lady was a wicked album with some retro vibes that did not get its proper respect. I look forward to her next project. (Hopefully, we'll get something like "Mesmerized" on there!)

Poor Faith...when she gets great news and is FINALLY coming back she gets screwed by the government!
The IRS are on Faith's case due to unpaid taxes...R&B singer Faith Evans, who is also the widow of rapper Biggie Smalls, is the latest artist to owe money to the IRS. According to reports, Faith Evans owes more than $360,000 in taxes on income earned in the states of New York, New Jersey and Los Angeles. The most of the tax bill is owed in the state of New Jersey, which filed a lien against Evans for $204,000 in October of 2009. Evans is currently working on a new reality show and album titled All About Faith. The reality show will chronicle Evans’ home life and professional career as a singer.

Faith is back doing concerts! My queen has returned and I cannot wait for her grand return! I hope she takes radio over and sells!!! First Look: Faith Evans, Tank Play R&B Live: Faith Evans has got the goods and put them to good use on stage at R&B Live in West Hollywood, California this week.

She has some really good music, her and Mary Faith is a great singer, Mary is a emotional singer, with really good music. But there are other r&b artists with awesome voices. |

Alot of artists are going this route because they can't get the proper promotion, and it has worked for some of them. So why not, Monica's was really boring but her music is awesome.

I miss Faith Evans. I remember in the late 90s, early 2000s, she was consistently on the R&B scene. Then, after 2005, it's like she fell off the face of the Earth. Love Like This, you Gets No Love, All Night...those are all james.

Faith Evans has a fragance??? Black Star, Avril Lavigne's fragrance, has been nominated for an appropriately titled FiFi Award, which, according to Lavigne, is pretty damn important. "just found out that my first fragrance, Black Star has made it to the top finalists for one of the most important awards in the world of fragrances, the 'FiFi'!" she wrote on her website on Tuesday (May 4). "I'm told that FiFi is for fragrances what the Oscars are for the movies, so i'm pretty stoked by the nomination for 'Fragrance of the Year - Women's Popular Appeal'." Other nominees in Lavigne's category include Faith Evans and Mariah Carey. Unfortunately, Diddy's fragrances are not up for any awards. Lavigne's perfume apparently has a heady nose of vodka cooler and 2 a.m. maintenance puke. Carey's scent has been characterized as "overwhelming fistfuls of fudge." While Evans' intoxicating brand matches stale sweat and sandwich meat. The FiFi Awards are presented annually by the Fragrance Foundation, who actually describe their awards as the "'Oscars' of the fragrance world" on their website.

Why is she not releasing this on a major label? Because none of the major labels were willing to give her the creative freedom and promotion she was looking for. Initially, Capitol was doing right by her but once they fired everyone and hired/imported new people, it went downhill. E1 is about the best indie label for any R&B act to align with IMO. |

Unless she has sure fire hits, i'm afraid she's not gonna be able to do so well, i hope she does tho. |
