Avant to release new album

Singer and songwriter Avant will release his sixth studio album The Letter on December 7, 2010, from Verve Forecast. Avant will perform the album’s first single, “Kiss Goodbye,” on September 28 on The Mo’Nique Show with the single also impacting radio the same day. “Kiss Goodbye” is available for download at iTunes today.

“A letter is what you write to people to tell them what’s going on in your life,” says Avant. “This album is a letter from me to my fans of what’s going on in my life, what’s going through my head and my struggles as a man.”

After becoming the first artist to sign to NBA legend Magic Johnson’s label, Magic Johnson Music, a then-22-year-old Avant released his debut album, My Thoughts, which went platinum and featured the top 5 Billboard R&B Hip-Hop single “Separated.” Avant followed-up on the success of My Thoughts in 2002 with the release of his sophomore album Ecstasy, which went platinum as well. His string of platinum success continued with 2003’s Private Room and the release of The Director in 2006, which featured “Lie About Us” with Nicole Scherzinger and “You Know What,” featuring Lil Wayne. Avant has also seen several Top 5 R&B singles including “Making Good Love,” “4 Minutes,” and “Read Your Mind.”
