R&B artists plan to pack the heat with their upcoming releases this May. The month of new music will begin with the arrival of Michael Jackson’s “Xscape,” a posthumous album that will feature eight unreleased tracks. From there, R&B music junkies will get a chance to add “The Essential R. Kelly” album to their iTunes playlist and lend a listening ear to some “live instrumentation” from Chrisette Michele. Then we will take a musical trip to Avery Sunshine’s “Sunroom” and finally hear Shaliek’s “Blood Sweat Tears” on his debut album
We will also get the long awaited 14 studio effort from music icon, Mariah Carey.
