MySpace Music Phenomenon Set To Release New Album "What About Bob?" Summer
2008
LOS ANGELES, May 22 -- Jean Rah Fya Records announces the
signing of Bobby Tinsley, who will be releasing his highly anticipated
album, "What About Bob?" Bobby explodes onto the scene with the video of
his compelling lead single, which is also entitled, "What About Bob?" The
video is scheduled to debut on BET J's popular shows "Morning Cup" and
"Soul Sessions."
Bobby Tinsley has earned praises for his soulful and positive sound, on
records like CCHR Top 40 Charter, "Addicted" and his underground internet
favorites, "Missing You" and "Never Give Up On Love". Tinsley is currently
putting the finishing touches on his sophomore album, "What About Bob?,"
which the singer primarily wrote and produced. In addition, the admired R&B
singer introduced his soulful sound to the world of MySpace in May of 2006
and has since accumulated over one million (1,000,000) profile views.
Tinsley is an accomplished songwriter who has worked with R&B, Pop,
Hip-Hop and Gospel artists including the multi-Grammy Award winner BeBe
Winans, Chani, Urban D, 3:16 and the production duo The Insomniax, who has
worked with famed artists such as Jordan Sparks, Jojo and Boyz II Men. His
emerging success inspired him to form his own music production company
(More Than Hype Productions), which spawned his underground release in 2004
entitled "Page 1." This musical gem then caught the attention of Jean Rah
Fya Records label executives Doug and Jackie Christie.
"Bobby Tinsley represents the traditional R&B sound, which are the
harmonies, rich melodies and lyrics that express true emotions, and 'What
About Bob?' displays honest song writing, beautifully arranged music and
vocal wizardry!," said Doug Christie.
Bobby grew up listening to R&B greats like Boyz II Men and Brian
McKnight. On "What About Bob?," his smooth mid-tempo first single, Tinsley
expands on his sultry, classic R&B sound, reminiscent of a "feel good"
Marvin Gaye or Isaac Hayes record. Tinsley explains, "Young people from all
backgrounds are dealing with the same relationship struggles and
temptations. It's important that they have music that speaks to those
things."
Tinsley's single "What About Bob?" is slated for release on June 26,
2008.
