T-Pain is diligently at work on his next album , but it seems like the Tampa, Florida, he already has ideas of the marketing plan for hi next album.
“Revolver is coming,” he told MTV News on Saturday, backstage at Chris Brown’s “Virginia Stand Up!” benefit concert. T-pain spoke on how hard it is to sell albums now, unless your someone like Jay-z.
“I should compete on ‘American Idol’ the way they’re selling records when they come off of there,” T-Pain laughed. “I need to be a part of that contest. I don’t know if they let you use Auto-Tune, but if they do, I’m a shoo-in. I’m two shoes in! I’m a pair of shoes in.”
T-pain hasn’t released a record ever since the pseudo-feud with Jay-Z after the rapper released his single “D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune).”
He confirmed hat his next album will be titled “Revolver”, although he flirted with the title UBER. The UBER was shelved last year, T-pain didn’t give us any reason .
T-Pain also spoke about his collaboration albumwith Lil Wayne are now on hold due to his prison sentence.He told MTV News in March that it didn’t make sense to rush the project while Wayne was preparing to begin his prison sentence.
“The T-Wayne album, we’re actually gonna wait until he gets out,” Pain said at the time. “He has so much going on. He has Rebirth out right now. I don’t wanna interrupt that. T-pain says,”I’m going to wait for him to get out, to start the project.” We recorded a bunch of songs. But, right now, it’s time for him and his personal sh–. We definitely got an album’s worth of material, but it’s only an album’s worth. It’s nothing to pick from. We just got an album. We can put out whatever we feel like and say, ‘Hey, this is T-Wayne’s album,’ or we can actually try to make it good. Like we’re actually trying to make an album and say, ‘This is the good T-Wayne album.’ Rather than just record 12 songs and say, ‘Here you go, mutha—-as! I know you want it. You gonna buy it anyway, just ’cause you think it’s good.’ “
