TLC Releases Two New Songs 'Joy Ride' And 'Haters' For The First Time In Over A Decade

Nearly two years and $430,000 later, TLC finally has new music to share. Kind of. If you live in Japan.

Yes, TLC is finally putting that GoFundMe money to good use and beginning to give the 4,201 backers the music they promised them way back in January of 2015. You can putyour memes, jokes and pitchforks away folks, T-Boz and Chili apparently used some of that donated cash to make two brand new songs. “Joy Ride” and “Hater” are the first two tracks off what the duo says is their final album, and the first official TLC album in over 14 years since 2002’s 3D.

The catch is the two tracks were released in Japan and, because the country’s citizens have always been huge supporters of the group, they immediately shot to the top of the iTunes charts.

According to T-Boz, the actual US single for the unnamed album won’t arrive until first quarter 2017, after the group promised the album in 2015 on their Kickstarter. The two Japan-only singles arrive just as TLC is set to embark on a 35-show international tour, beginning in Japan before making its way to Australia, the Philippines and New Zealand. So say what you will, but it appears T-Boz and Chili know their core fan base.

Check out the two new singles below and if you have some yen handy, you can purchase the tracks on iTunes Japan.

Oh God people make me so sick!

Just because Drake puts out albums every other month doesn't mean everyone has to.

Albums do still have to be written, produced and recorded among other things.

It's not like they had to wait 5 years!

If you want a new TLC album listen to Mis-teeq's album "Eye Candy." It's a shameless Fanmail ripoff and it's glorious.

“Joyride” was written by a songwriter new to the TLC camp, a cool chick named Rose Gold from Los Angeles, California.

Rose Gold wrote "Joyride"

Rose Gold, writer of “Joyride”

On the production side, “Joyride” was created by Joshua “Tipz” Richardson with the help of Cory “Knotch” Marks. You may remember Tipz from TLC’s writing camp earlier this year. Interestingly enough, Tipz used to be a recording/mixing engineer for Prince….and we know how much our girls love Prince! “In one way shape or form, Prince pretty much inspires everything I compose,” Tipz said. Tipz reportedly has more songs on the upcoming TLC album that he worked on as well.

“Haters” was written by Bryan Jarett, Daniel Ullmann, Steve Dresser, who have written for K-Pop girl group f(x) and Canadian pop star Victoria Duffield.

WHAT IS THE FONT for the word "joyride" for this new TLC song???

that is the coolest, tightest font I have seen in a good while..

.

about the group itself - I remember several years ago they had a (reality?) tv show where they were looking for a "replacement" for Left-Eye.

.

right.

.

each woman in the group had their personality & whatever, but Lisa Lopes was the most dynamic & charismatic member of that group. of all the 3, she was the least replaceable.

.

damn - has it been.. 15 years already??

I have no doubt that where ever she is now, she's still rippin' up & tearin' up stuff..

rest in peace Left-Eye..

I'll see you tonight..
in ALL MY DREAMS..

I'm watching Days Of Our Lives right now and T-Boz is playing a prisoner in the jail Hope Brady got sent to. She and another lady is getting ready to beat up Hope.

A while back Hope killed Stefano DiMera and she's just now been exposed by Stefano's son Andre after 3 guys who broke out of another prison and terroized Salem to get revenge on people in the town. You'd had to have seen the show to know who the 3 guys were. At first, another guy was framed for Stefano's murder and he admitted he did it, but the confessor was paid off by Andre to take the fall. Andre has known that Hope & Rafe covered up the crime for awhile, but had no evidence until he happened to bug Hope's house and taped her talking about it and played the recording at a Halloween party with many people in the town was at including the the mayor Abe and the police chief. So she's got a prison stint. Hope killed Stefano because she thought he had something to do with Bo being kidnapped for years and when Steve finally rescued Bo, they find out he has a brain tumor and he dies not long after getting back into town. If Bo had not been held prisoner, he could have gotten medical attention long before it got too late.

WTF! They killed off Bo Brady?!! Another one bites the dust... Of course, it's a soap opera and in that world anyone can come back from the dead! razz lol Oh well, at least they brought Steve back.

Wasn't expecting to see her on Days, as I've never known T-Boz to do any acting, except in House Party 3.
