Tyrese’s “Open Invitation” Tops Billboard with #1 Independent Album

MBK Entertainment Artist Tyrese Gibson Tops Billboard Chart With #1 Independent Album

 


Tyrese Returns to His Musical Roots with solid debut and chart topping success

NEW YORK, Nov. 10, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — In between appearing in big-budget action films (most recently “Fast Five,” and “Transformers: Dark of the Moon,”) and writing a successful self-help book (How To Get Out of Your Own Way), singer Tyrese recorded a new album, Open Invitation.
 His first studio album in five years debuted in the top 10 on
Billboard’s Top 200 Chart, #2 R&B Album, and #1 R&B on ITunes.

Propelled by the impacting first single “Stay “, Open Invitation
was released to a media blitz including performances on the Wendy
Williams Show and visits to a series of non-traditional television
outlets such as Spike TV’s Spare Time, Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live,
G4, Speed, MLB, VH1’s Morning Buzz and The Rachael Ray Show playing up
his global appeal as a box office maverick.  In addition to television,
print media, an impeccable online campaign, and Twitter (@Tyrese) helped
drive sales for the album and single.

“For
Tyrese to return five years since his last release with a #1 record at
radio and a Billboard 200 top ten album is a testament,” says MBK
Entertainment  founder and principle Jeff Robinson. “Along with stellar album reviews Open Invitation
is truly inspiring everyone who believes that uncompromising great
music can still rule the charts.”  This is just the beginning for
Tyrese.  

According to the Washington Post “…considering that Tyrese is a New York Times bestselling author, a blockbuster actor and, thanks to this latest album, once again an R&B force to be reckoned with.”
