TLC's Chilli And T-Boz Hard At Work Finishing New Album

NEW YORK (TLC Fans Website) - Chilli (Rozonda Thomas) and T-Boz (Tionne Watkins), the surviving members of TLC, are hard at work trying to complete the group's fourth, as-yet-untitled album. It has been hard for the pair to focus following the tragic death of groupmember Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes. who was killed on April 25 in Jutiapa, Honduras, when her SUV flipped over--while others in the vehicle sustained non-life-threatening injuries, Lopes died after sustaining severe head trauma.

Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds, who signed the group to his LaFace Records in the early '90s and produced several of their hits, is currently in the studio with Chilli and T-Boz. Edmonds told AP, "There will be ups and downs throughout. There will be times when they feel it more than others."

Some of the other producers working on the new set include Rodney Jerkins, Dallas Austin, and Raphael Saadiq. Fortunately, Lopes was able to record some vocals that will be included on the new set, which was scheduled for release in the fall before her untimely death.
