New Jersey bred R&B singer/songwriter/producer Jaheim has signed with Atlantic Records, a fully owned subsidiary of Warner Music Group. Jaheim, who was previously signed to Warner Bros., will release his as-yet-untitled Atlantic debut on Dec. 18.

"This is a milestone project for me, which reflects on changes and growth in my personal and professional life. I produced and wrote half of the album. I'm just focused," Jaheim tells Billboard.com. "I'm with people that understand the market -- no disrespect to anyone over there [Warner Bros.]. At this point in my career, I need a company that understands and they [Atlantic] are taking me to a whole new level."

Babyface, R. Kelly, KayGee (Naughty By Nature), Jasper Cameron, the Clutch and Nat Adderley Jr. of Luther Vandross fame lent their production efforts to the set, the latter producing a tribute to the late Vandross. This comes as no surprise since Vandross is one of Jaheim�s biggest idle.

Keyshia Cole is the only feature thus far, though Jaheim hopes to record more collaborative tracks in the coming weeks. The first single from the album is titled "Never," is currently featured on Singersroom.com

Jaheim also plans on embarking on a U.S. tour later this year.
