Seems like the new formula for success in the music industry includes a book deal and a reality show. If that’s the case, Grammy-Winner Faith Evans is setting herself up for comeback success.
Evans, who last released an album five years ago, admits she didn’t expect to be away from music this long.
“My career is a big part of my life, but it’s not my life,” she expressed. “I got four kids and that in itself alone was the main reason I took time off. I’ve had to take care of home and keep things in order there first before I could even consider doing music again. For me to be able to take the time to do this, I had to plant something with them. I couldn’t give the attention to projects like this and not give them their attention and stay on top of things the way I needed to.”
The 36-year-old talent acknowledges that a lot has changed in the music business over the half of decade she’s been away, but the questionable state of the industry has not deterred a from making her return now.
“I don’t feel apprehensive at all. There are a group of people out there, no matter how big or small that are waiting for my record. When people see me out at the baseball games and at the grocery stores, they inquire about my music and that makes me feel good. It lets me know that they’re still waiting and that makes me excited. I work based on my heart and how people make me feel,” she offered, before adding: “And I’m believing 100 percent that it will be well worth the wait.”
In addition to her CD release later this year on E1 Entertainment, Evans struck a separate deal with E1 Television in partnership with Ten2One Entertainment for a reality show called ‘It’s All About Faith.’
