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 likeminded 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.

The group's first concert together will be in New York City during the Circle of Sisters expo on Oct. 10.

In addition to the music endeavor, TDK is documenting the development of this project and intend to turn it into a reality show

I like the sound of this. Three of the best R&B singers
out of the 90's come together. Already a fan of Tamia
and Deborah. What i don't like is the possibility of
R.Kelly working on this project.

Because he's too good, right?

That sounds interesting..R Kelly as a producer shouldn't be a concern,he makes good songs.His drama is seperate from his work.

All i'll say is seafood may be good to me
and sushi may be good to you.

That's great! I love Tamia, Debra, and Kelly. I've really missed them.

It's about damn time it's been too quiet on the Tamia and Kelly fronts lately...

phunkdaddy said:

that's exactly what I was thinking I was reading this article,supporting this idea,until they mentioned R.Kelly's involvement.It seems odd that they would call him,since he had some drama with Kelly Price in the past.She toured with him in the late 90s but actually quit the tour because they didn't get along.

Yes finally some more real R&B to hit the airwaves....

This better work because Tyrese, Tank and Ginuwine tried doing that too...

Timmy84 said:

Yeah and what happened with that?

This would have been exciting 10 years ago, when people actually cared about them, but not now...

missfee said:

They ended up not releasing it after getting bad reviews on their tour, I believe. Plus they had scheduling conflicts.

kenlacam said:

Well....I actually would rather hear them doing something like this rather than hearing reports of them dying from drug overdoses, bankruptcies, or other terrible things that happen to talented stars who aren't on top anymore.

missfee said:

So true. I'm so tired of those stories.

I like songs by all 3 individually, but it's hard to imagine how their voices are going to compliment each other. Probably will just be some jackoff 'producer' layering takes all over each other while some too-hip-for-it's-own-good track bangs away underneath. At least that's how Tamia's last album sounded.

I can just see Bryan Michael Cox's lazy ass giving them some shitty beats and having them trying to outsing each other.

Timmy84 said:

It doesn't pay to be famous

That sounds great! 3 incredible but underrated singers

hopefully they have solid, classy material to sing!

missfee said:

Talk.

Timmy84 said:

Count on it.....

Graycap23 said:

I wish they give him the eye roll.

Timmy84 said:

I see it too

He always uses that same damn piano chord! UGH!!

Timmy84 said:

Hopefully Shep Crawford will handle most of the production.
He gave Tamia and Deborah Cox their biggest hits.
It would only make sense.

missfee said:

Say that shit, dammit

Folks gotta eat and pay Uncle Sam, its a J-O-B for them too, WTF? Are they supposed to sit on the sidewalk and pick their noses just because folks think they're not "relevant" anymore? Goooolly!
