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, complement�ing 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.
