Carl Thomas: Conquer â Verve Music Group
After facing several battles in his personal life, Carl Thomas reemerges with the new album ‘Conquer.’ The set is led by the Rico Love-produced 60s and 70s infused first single “Don’t Kiss Me,” which displays Thomas’ signature vocal style that fans recall from hits like “Emotional.” ‘Conquer’ serves as Thomas’ first album in four years and presents a new melodious niche, instead of the traditional R&B course.

T-Pain: rEVOLVEr â RCA
After several delays, multi-talented auto-tune man T-Pain releases his fourth album entitled ‘rEVOLVEr’ on RCA Records. On the forthcoming set, T-Pain expands outside of his normal urban music style. “I’ve developed a new audience from the Taylor Swift stuff, the Bud Light and Toshiba commercials, the T-Pain Mic and App. There is music for everyone on this album, but definitely still classic T-Pain at the same time.” His latest single “5 O’ Clock” featuring Lily Allen and Wiz Khalifa is one example of pulling in new inspiration with a touch of signature T-Pain; the song is moving quickly up the Billboard charts.
