Tank Announces New Album ‘Experience’
R&B veteran Tank returns with his 11th studio album, ‘Experience,’ promising a genre-bending project that explores new musical territories.
It appears that Tank has had a change of heart regarding his retirement from the studio. The R&B General has officially announced his 11th studio album, EXPERIENCE, which is slated for release on September 25 via R&B Money/BMG.
The artist took to Instagram to unveil the project’s striking cover art, featuring a shirtless Tank suspended in a clear box above a pool of water. The upcoming 16-track collection is set to feature his No. 1 R&B radio hit “Control” and the top 10 single “Yes,” which cleverly interpolates Floetry’s classic “Say Yes.”
The album also promises diverse collaborations, including the house-inspired “Highlight” featuring Charlie Wilson and DJ/producer MK, as well as the gospel-infused “How I Need You,” which features contributions from Kirk Franklin, Eric Dawkins, and Zacardi Cortez.
Regarding the creative direction of his new album, Tank shared his vision exclusively with Rated R&B: “EXPERIENCE is exactly what the title says it is. I pushed myself on this one, stepping into dance, gospel, country, sounds people might not expect from me. There are so many different sides of me on this album; you really have to experience it yourself. After 30 years, I’m still growing, still finding new ways to connect with people.”
This project follows his 2022 release, R&B Money, which made history by securing four No. 1 hits on Billboard’s Adult R&B Airplay chart. Beyond his musical endeavors, Tank has expanded his reach into acting, recently making his Broadway debut in Alicia Keys’ musical Hell’s Kitchen and preparing for a role in the fourth season of Hulu’s Reasonable Doubt.
