There are others, i will put them up here when i find them.
- Paint(dont ask me how!)Sounds interesting!
- Finally i heard that it may be a hologram of some sort. Involving the girls and the title of the cd switching into each other.
- Fans names will be incorporated into the cover art. TLC's web site says they have over 14.000 so far "thanx to the fans". Wonder if my name is there!
- English R&B DJ, Trevor Nelson, is going to Atlanta to talk to the group about the album and is bringing them over to England to go on his sunday night 'Rhythm Nation' r&b show. He will probably get them before the album hits the shops, so i will keep you informed on how that goes! While he is over there he will be hearing the album and will probably ask the girls about why it took so long, as well as appearances on the CD.
- The Cover has been decided on. It is a cool cover! It has the girls heads all next to each other, its a dark cover. It has "Fan Mail" written across the bottom in sort of chinese writing. In between the words is an envelope. Under the girls heads is this kind of swirly thing. It's like a futuristic thing. They are releasing two different versions of the album according to reports, one is meant to be a collectors edition which will have a 3d theme, the other is just the normal edition but cool enough in itself. I have heard there will only be two million copies of the collectors edition so if that happens everyone will be mad for one! If anyone wants to see the album cover i will have it up on my pictures page.
- "No Scrubs" has been named as the first single, it is rumoured to have a release date set for March 3rd. Its a really nice song, Chilli sings it all. It has guitars in and stuff. Its a relly nice song!
- I recently had the extreme pleasure of hearing 3 other songs from the album. I have them on tape. The songs i heard were - "My Life" - "Fan Mail" and "No Scrubs". These songs are crazily hot!!!!! "Fan mail" is a really interesting song. It has a computerized voice at the start saying how TLC are involving all the fans who have ever sent them fanmail. It then has T-Boz singing on it, half way through the song breaks ands you can hear Left-Eye speaking from the past present and future on mtv. Chilli is doing backing. "My Life" see's T-Boz taking lead vocals as she sings about how she ain't bothered about what people think cos she's been through everything so it doesn't effect her. "No Scrubs" is as i said above, a sort of ballad sung by Chilli. With really nice guitars and stuff on it.
- There is a song on the album called "I Miss You So Much" which is produced by Babyface. Its a real ballad type of a song... i think chilli sings it. From what i heard its a very nice song.
- Each of the girls has put pen to paper for this album. Previous albums had Left-Eye being the most active member. This one clearly shows the girls talent as they all have contributed to the album. TLC are clearly back to reign supreme as the best female group ever!!
- Well, "FanMail" is finally out and BOY was it worth waiting for!! This album is a musical masterpiece. But don't take my word for it - go out and buy it!!! The cover art is great and if you look inside you might see your name! T-Boz is a very good writer. I love every song on this album. Track listing is as follows: -
- FanMail.
- The Vic-E Interpretation - interlude.
- Silly Ho.

All the songs are beautifully produced and will be firm favourites with fans and radio stations everywhere! This album shows how much the girls have grown as people. There is a message in every song. From the song which puts the industry under a magnifying glass ("Unpretty"), to "No Scrubs" - a lesson for guys everywhere into how to be. This album has something for everyone and will propell TLC back to their throne which they occupied in the days of CrazySexyCool.
