The thing that keeps me a fan of TLC is that they are always so resilient. They haven't had a hit in over 10 years, but they always find a way to come out of nowhere and have a huge moment. But the thing that's annoying about them, is they have these moments, and there is no follow through. I'm glad they are having success with this so far, and even more glad that they have already said it is their final album....it'll be a lot less frustrating when it's a hit, and then you never hear from them again.

exactly what I was thinking, after everyone counted them out with this kickstarter project.

Excited after googling the albums produced by Ron Fair. But they have to incorporate Lisa into the album somehow. It wont be a TLC album without a Lisa rap or interlude.
Hopefully Ron will get them good collaborations and producers.

I'm a lot more confident about the project now with Ron at the helm. And I agree that Lisa needs to be incorporated in some kind of way; not necessarily a rap but a sound byte or something. Maybe do a retrospective Intro or something.

I'd say use some of her soundbytes from her documentary.

It's hard to believe they only released 4 albums.

They seem gung ho on working with Ne-Yo more. You'd think people really connected with "Meant To Be" or something...

I love TLC so, so, so much and I think all 3 of them are incredibly talented. But it's very easy to tell that they did not have a very active role in the songwriting or creation of their "message" songs because they'e shown absolutely no ability to distinguish between moving and cheesy. It's like they fell into that hole thinking that a nice message is all a song needs to be good, instead of making a good song that also has a nice message.

Tboz did write unpretty....if they want uplifting but not cheesy they need to look no further than a "crooked smile" type record

"Waterfalls" and "Unpretty" are their zeniths, for me.
It's highly unlikely that the ladies will ever have a big impact again, but I'd love to see some strong tracks from the ladies.

I actually think this project can be fairly successful (sell wise--like 400-600k). However, several things need to happen. 1) quality material that actually fit their voices. T-boz cannot sound flat and disinterested. No chasing trends, but it needs to sound current with that hint of nostalgia (see MIAMC). Left eye presence must be incorporated. bring Debra Killings in to do background please.
2) Promotion. They need to continuously update their fans and general public on the recording process. It would be great if they could secure a one season reality show that documents the process AND them INTERACTING with their fans. when they recorded songs about sex/freakin/clubbing they were always able to make a positive social campaign of it. They need to get back to that. People remember and LOVED that about them. They can partner with several organizations / causes. That would also help promote the album and their brand.
3) Remind the public why they are the most successful female group of all time on that tour. As such, T-boz needs to make sure to bring the energy on her performances. If she cannot do the choreography at the intensity level she once did, then they need to change it up. Simple and cute moves work well too. Instead of bringing out guests to perform Left Eye parts-they should play her raps on the video screen. Her presence and energy needs to be in every performance as well. They could even create a cartoon character that looks like her miming her raps on the video screen.
4). Their first two singles must be targeted to their core audience (urban/urban AC/rhy). I get that they have a diverse sound and like pop music, but top 40 wont be rushing to add a new TLC song. Hell, Urban mainstream won't likely be rushing to add a new TLC song. But Urban mainstream more likely to be a little more supportive. And if the song is banging then it could take off and become a top 20 hit.
5). Timing. This project should be released 3rd quarter of 2015. No 4th quarter release. If they cannot release it by 3rd qr 2015 then it should be late first quarter 2016. The project has to debut at number 1.

I also think T-boz has to be the front woman. It seems like Chili has carried the last few songs and performances. While they all led, T-boz was always kinda front and center. People remember that. and because her voice is so distinctive, the songs must be built around it. So maybe they should have babyface and Dallas Austin producing material for them.

They raised 430K total, which is almost 3 times what they originally wanted for funding Now it's time that they actually deliver a quality record, because if not the backlash will be godly.

So proud of them for hitting their goal! Just think, people were laughing at them when the idea was first mentioned. This group literally has 9 lives. No matter how much they ruin their legacy, they get chance after chance!

It will be interesting to see what they come up with. They have quite a bit of money, so hopefully this works out for the best and they can get another hit.
