Tamia, Kelly & Deborah Form Supergroup; Blow Speakers!

I have just died and gone to heaven.

My friend in the head Jawn Murray over at BlackVoices has the exclusive story about the joining of 3 musical powerhouses: Tamia, Deborah Cox & Kelly Price. They will be known as TDK, and music is being produced by Shep Crawford overall, with additional work by Babyface, Raphael Saadiq, R. Kelly & Warryn Campbell.

*flatlines*

All of my favorite female singers, all of my favorite R&B producers…no The-Dream or Tricky Stewart in sight…if they add Rodney Jerkins I will seriously have a heart attack.

I had always said that I would do this very same type of project when I got rich, but since that didn’t happen soon enough, I’m just glad they are doing.

These 3 women are some of the best female R&B singers of our time, hands down. Especially Tamia, I love Tamia. I was JUST gushing about Deborah and Shep on Twitter the other day!

LSG, TGT and now TDK…greatness. Let’s just hope there are no label issues like there were with TGT (Tank, Ginuwine & Tyrese). I think Kelly’s still signed to Zomba w/ her gospel stuff at least, Deborah’s MAYBE signed to a smaller major, not sure, and Tamia’s last album came out on her own label distributed by Image Entertainment.

This is gonna be awesome. Please hurry it out! Hit the jump for the full details:

In the spirit of 90’s R&B trio LSG – Gerald Levert, Keith Sweat and Johnny Gill – BV Buzz has learned exclusively that three R&B divas have formed a new group with the working name of TDK.

Singers Tamia, Deborah Cox and Kelly Price have united for an upcoming compilation project called ‘The Queen Project.’

Led by the first single, ‘Queen,’ the three vocal powerhouses are elated about the opportunity to form this sisterhood in song.

“Truly I am excited because what we’re doing has never been done before with three women on CD,” Price told BV Buzz. “Each of us in our own right is a true vocalist and while I am loving what we’re doing in the studio, I just can’t wait for people to see our live show!”

Though each of the ladies knew each other prior to this endeavor, it is their first time collaborating together on music in any capacity.

“I’m so excited to work with these ladies because I’m a fan first,” Tamia offered. “It is fun and we have a really good time together. There’s something special here musically and we have a genuine bond.”

Cox added: “I fee the same way. It’s really the most exciting project I’ve been a part of. We’re going to be raising the bar just a tad. It’s great to work with like-minded individuals. We have the same sentiments as singers, mothers and wives!”

Producer Shep Crawford (Whitney Houston/Heather Headley) was the mastermind behind the group and said his vision was to just bring three dynamic women together to sing.

“My goal was to highlight the amazing talents individually, while blending them together to unite for this mega project. This is a unique union that will provide the music you have come to expect from these three superstars,” said Crawford.

TDK is currently in Los Angeles recording songs with Crawford and producer Warryn Campbell (Mary Mary/Kanye West). They are slated to also record material with Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds, R. Kelly and Raphael Saadiq as well.

‘The Queen Project’ is scheduled to be released in early 2010; however no record company affiliation has been announced at this time. (Source)
