TLC to release new album

TLC have confirmed plans to release a new album.

The female group will use crowd-funding platform Kickstarter to record their fifth and final record.

Speaking to Billboard, Rozonda 'Chilli' Thomas said that the duo are currently getting their crew together before hitting the studio.

She said: "Right now we're working on getting the right team together: The right producers, the right writers. Because we all have to connect with these people and have working chemistry.

"When you don't have that, you can be in the studio working with the best producers and writers but not get any magic. That's what we're working on and it's looking good so far. People really want some good TLC music again."

Talking about the possibility of having late bandmate Lisa 'Left Eye' Lopes on the album via unreleased material, Thomas added:

"You know, when we did the last album, '3D', during the time that she did pass away, the song 'Girl Talk' was the only one that her rap was current - she did the rap specifically for that song. Before that, Lisa was working on her solo stuff and she wanted to go in a direction that was different from Left Eye with TLC. And we totally understood, respected and supported her, but a lot of that is different from the type of music that we do.

"At that time we were searching really hard to find stuff to go with songs we were working on to finish the ['3D'] album. So to answer your question, probably not, but I'm not going to say 'no' because we're open to it. But at the end of the day, everyone knows how much we love our sister. You go to our show, you feel her presence."

TLC's last album '3D' was released in 2002.
