Avant’s upcoming self-titled release, AVANT, out December 9th, will
mark his 5th career album and his first release on new label, Capitol
Records. The lead single from his latest effort “When It Hurts,”
continues to climb the charts, recently breaking into the Top 10 and
Top 20 at radio formats Urban AC and Urban Mainstream, respectively.
“Seven years and five albums deep, I’ve got a resume and track
record,” says the multi-platinum R&B singer/songwriter. “I’ve
proved my point which is why I decided to call the album AVANT, because
it reflects who I am.”
AVANT gathers the talents of some of today’s hottest and most
innovative producers. Among them are Trackmasters (LL Cool J, Nas), the
Architects (Missy Elliott), and Smurf aka Mr. Collipark (Soulja Boy).
Avant’s new album also finds him branching out into studio production,
complementing his track record as an established lyricist. One of the
most talked about tracks on the album is “Break Ya Back” — Avant’s
tongue-in-cheek ode to satisfying a woman.
“Break Ya Back” received so
much chatter that Avant decided to create a viral video specifically
for his fans. The sexy video recently hit the Internet and has been
causing a stir on popular sites and tastemaker blogs.
Avant's new self-titled album hits stores Dec. 9 via Capitol.
