LOS ANGELES, CA. (Top40 Charts/ Rhino Entertainment) -
Keith Sweat is back with a brand-new CD titled "
Just Me" (Atco/Rhino) set for release on May 6. The first single, "Suga Suga Suga," which has gained traction at Urban AC and Urban Mainstream, is currently on more than 50 stations across the country, and will be available as a ringtone on February 12 by searching "
Sweat" on all mobile carriers. The digital single will also be available the same day at all digital service providers.
Sweat has already embarked on a 19-city tour to promote "Just Me"; some of the upcoming cities include Atlanta, GA (2/14), Chicago, IL (2/15), Las Vegas, NV (2/16), Los Angeles, CA (2/17), Nashville, TN (2/23), Miami, FL (3/7), New Orleans, LA (3/8), Columbia, SC (3/14), Greenville, SC (3/15), Oakland, CA (3/28) and New York, NY (5/17).
When asked about his new CD, Sweat explains, "I'm giving the people what they expect from me. You hear other artists out here who make the mistake of trying to be trendy. They really try to keep up. I know what people want to hear from Keith Sweat. I'm conscious of the people who have followed me the whole time, since day one. I remember that I have a fan base and I'm very careful to give the people what they expect from me."
"Just Me" features guest artists Keyshia Cole, and Athena Cage (Keith's duet partner on the million-selling 1996 hit "Nobody"). Aside from his tour, Sweat also finds time to host his own syndicated radio show "The Keith Sweat Hotel" on Premiere Radio Network, which is heard in 24 markets nationwide.
