Tamela’s highly-anticipated new album ONE WAY officially drops on Friday, September 9, on her Tillymann Music imprint through RED Distribution. An extensive multi-city U.S. tour in support of the album will launch this fall. ONE WAY features the powerhouse vocalist on 12 tracks, including the Top-10 debut single “One Way” and the new single “God Provides,” written and produced by long-time friend and collaborating partner, Gospel Music Icon Kirk Franklin. ONE WAY marks Tamela’s fourth solo studio album, a diverse collection of songs that inspires listeners on many levels.
“This project has been a labor of love,” Tamela said. “Songs by writers and producers from different genres all came together to fit into a beautiful puzzle. I believe this album is going to encourage so many – wherever they’re at. I hope people will open their hearts to receive the message of the songs.”
For the first time, Tamela’s executive production team is a family affair helmed by Tamela, her husband and business partner, actor David Mann and son David Mann Jr. ONE WAY is produced by the acclaimed Myron Butler and David Mann. The album’s all-star guest producer credits, in addition to Franklin include Eric Dawkins, King Logan, Shaun Martin and Timbaland.

Incidentally, I saw on their Facebook page that thieves broke into their car and stole some of their belongings when they were in a Red Lobster restaurant on Camp Creek Parkway here in the A last month….The Manns are seeking information about this crime….Below is the video of the story…It’s such a shame, and I hate that is happened in my city…
Any thoughts?
