She was going strong for a minute and then nothing. What's she up to these days and why did she flame out?

I think she gave up on the r&b world. I know she has been touring on the gospel circuit for a while.

I really loved her last Gospel album.


I've been singing this song all week:

I was just listening to this too this past week...Love her voice!

She's teaming up with Deborah Cox and Tamia to record a full album that will be released early next year.

I think the song from the project has already been released.

It's in R. Kelly's pocket

They are touring too... They were just here in NYC last month

Harlepolis said:

so are they guests on her album, or are the 3 of them going to make a whole album together? either way, they will sound really good together.

Buzz Exclusive: Tamia, Deborah Cox & Kelly Price Form R&B Super Group





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 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

wow thanks for sharing this piece of news! can't wait for it to come out.

I think u got it backwards. R and Kelly wrote some big hits together. I think she got tired of his crap and left his ass alone.

daPrettyman said:

Wrote? She just proved vocals and helped arrange the vocals on Spendin Money and Home Alone. She also guested Contagious and Get Up on a Room

If anything he probably gave her the boot not the other way around.

midiscover said:

No, Kelly and R actually wrote together.

Kelly co-wrote "Home Alone", "VIP", "Money Makes The World Go Round" and "Spendin Money" that I know of right off of the top of my head. She stopped working with R right around the time the first set of charges came up against him. She then started working without him. That was around the time of her 2nd album (where he made a guest appearance).

Kelly has written for a few BIG r&b acts. Not just for R, but Kelly has written or co-written for/with a pretty big roster of stars. Gerald Levert, Angela Winbush, The Isley Brothers, Puffy, and Faith Evans. So, she is a good writer WITHOUT tagging on R's coat-tails.

daPrettyman said:

She got her break working with him so yea

midiscover said:

She got her "break" singing background for Mariah.
You can see her singing background in Mariah's MTV Unplugged.

Too much weight? Do you remember how big she was? I don't think she lost too much weight at all. In fact I think she looks even more beautiful. She didn't pull a Star Jones, she lost just enough weight for her to still be a thick girl and not super skinny. Some people do go overboard with the weight thing, but I think she handled it well.

daPrettyman said:

She and her sister Sheree were all over Mariah's albums/live shows up untill 1998

Harlepolis said:

I also think Ron Isley helped her. I think he is her godfather.

daPrettyman said:

well he's on board to write for this new project.. It's in the article above

banks said:

Maybe that's a good thing.

Did R ever work with Tamia. I don't recall them working together.

folks love big ole heavy divas. when these singers lose a whole bunch of weight, you then become another face in the crowd. vesta, kelly price, jennifer holliday, shoot even luther and freddie jackson.

daPrettyman said:

Did Kelly work on R.'s self-titled album?

daPrettyman said:

Kelly Price & R Kelly are still gr8 friends

daPrettyman said:

Unfortunately yes. He gave her that lame Changing Faces reject
Questions on the More cd.

I don't know why she fell off?

phunkdaddy said:

I remember that song. You are right, it was lame as hell.
