Baltimore R&B sensation Dru Hill has reunited, officials announced today.

After an eight-year hiatus from recording, the multi-platinum group has inked a deal with label Kedar Entertainment, and plans to release an album, "InDRUPendence," on April 13, followed by an international tour and a role in the reality TV show "Sweat's Platinum House."

Their first new single, "Love M.D.," hits radio Jan. 26, according to publicist Gwendolyn Quinn.


"It's going to be big," Quinn said. "It's going to be huge." ...

Noticeably absent from this incarnation of Dru Hill is original member Woody, who began working on gospel music after the group split. Woody briefly rejoined Dru Hill in 2008 for a tour, but quit during a live interview with 92Q.

Woody has been replaced by a new singer Tao, who won a contest to become a member of the group.


"(Woody) decided he didn't want to do it," Quinn said.

"InDRUPendence" will be Dru Hill's fourth studio album. Their first three spawned seven Top 40 hits, including "Never Make a Promise," "In My Bed" and "How Deep Is Your Love."

In 1999, Dru Hill member Sisqo released the smash hit album "Unleash the Dragon." He currently appears in the British TV show "Celebrity Big Brother."

Let's see how long this lasts...

Mess aint going to make a dent in the industry just like Blackstreet's last.

OVA

Yeah, Prince said that about Cat as a solo artist too.

I thought the whole "Woody quit on the radio" thing was a fake. I could have sworn I read that, that whole incident wasn't even real.

I'll just be content listening to the old dru hill albums , it's a wrap for them

Good news. Thanks for posting. They won't see the level of success they enjoyed in the 90s, but it's def. a positive look for the R&B scene. With the right material, their singing gets a shine. They been doin shows in North America and Europe, which means they feed themselves and their families.

How are they "gay"? What does that mean, they're TOO gay now? Were they just a little bit gay before? Were they sucking each other's dicks on stage or something? Did I miss that? Please explain how they're "too gay" now.

New official video for "Love M.D." single.

OK, WTF at that video?!

I've actually been listening to their first 2 albums a lot recently....and I think I'm just fine with that.

I'm sorry but the new song is horrible and Nokio's purple mohawk is not going to help them either Woody went to god years ago and stayed there. He's not coming back.

Well, I give them credit for singing...i ain't gonna hate on someone who can sign.

sosgemini said:

is that sign or sing ...like they can sign a contract or sing a song?

OOOOk, but whats up with the high tops.

Fury said:

dont make me take your cloths off. wait...nevermind.

Ok, now Im not hating because I love Dru Hill. Always have. But...

Why do they look more like Immature/IMX all growed up instead of Dru Hill? Tell me Nokio doesn't look like that Romeo character in the group...



But im not hating, just saying.

Actually "Love M.D."is getting a lot of airplay here in LA. On radio station KJLH Its turning into a hit here. It does sound like a classic Dru Hill song.
