Actor/R&B Singer Tyrese Gibson is taking a break from Hollywood to revive his music career, with his first studio album in 5 years, titled Open Invitation.
Tyrese sings throughout this album, although he receives some assistance from Hip-Hop stars Rick Ross and Ludacris.
For Open Invitation, Tyrese will also don the hat of CEO, as the album will be released on his own record label Voltron Recordz.
“After stepping away from recording to nurture and develop new aspects of my career, I’m excited to return to my first love of music, which ignited my amazing journey,” Tyrese Gibson said.
“I’m thrilled to have an opportunity to share this incredible record with the world through my own label Voltron, and I’m blessed with a supportive partnership in EMI Music Services to release an album I poured my heart and soul into,” Tyrese continued. “I believe that this is my best musical effort to date, and I’m anxious to share it with my fans who have patiently waited for my return.”
Ludacris is featured on the single “Too Easy,” while Rick Ross and R. Kelly check in on the track “I Gotta Chick.”
News of Tyrese’s first album in 5 years comes on the heels of the release of his best-selling inspirational memoir, “How To Get Out Of Your Own Way,” which landed on the New York Times’ bestseller-list upon its release in April.
Gibson found success as an R&B singer and model before hitting the big screen, appearing in the ‘Transformers’ movie franchise, as well as ‘2 Fast 2 Furious’ and ‘Fast Five’.
Tyrese’s new album Open Invitation is due in stores on November 1st.
