Sun, 30 May 2004 Source: ghanamusic.com

T-Nice T-Nice, the Ghanaian R & B group needs no introduction at all on the international music scene, since they have created a very good image for themselves in Holland, Germany and Belgium, among other parts of Europe.

The T-Nice first consisted of three in the beginning but one member left the group and this did not hinder Love and E-Nice from singing again. The group T-nice now consists of two members which is mainly LOVE (singer) and E-nice (rapper). Eventually we got together and realized that just the two of us, was the best move to make." The group has been in existence for about four years now.

Let's take their individual profiles one by one. Love, the singer of the group was born on June 6th and has Gemini as his star. Boys II Men, Joe and R. Kelly (his favourite artiste) has big influence on his musical career. He has a lot of interest in Basketball, Music and watching films, so anytime he is less busy he doing one of these. To him he thinks you should never be afraid of being special.


E-Nice who is an October born has Libra as his star. Since his favourite artiste is Busta Rhymes you would definitely expect him to be rapping.His hobbies are listening to music and watching of videos.

In 2001, T-Nice released there first single ?Summer Love?. And in 2002 they came With the #1 R&B smash "Sexy", Love and E-Nice demonstrated beyond doubt that they possessed timeless talent.

?Sexy? was a quintessential modern song. It was also the song that put T-nice on the road, appearing as both club headliners and support to superstars like Jahiem,Boyz II Men, Sat-r-day, Ebon-e and many more musicians.

Now Love and E-Nice are consolidating their impressive gains and expanding their musical horizons on their new 12-song collection . The title single, (Talk to me) produced by Simon Feger, Marco Willich and the No 1. DJ in germany, DJ Ulli Gruter, which is a stirring declaration of a man?s devotion to a determined young woman struggling through hard times.

This passionate song is complemented by such sharply contrasting songs as "hot & wet" an up-tempo song from 112. Another high point of (Talk To Me) is a moving song of loss and hope, "Let It be" written by Love and E-nice after a struggle of getting in to the charts.

The members are taking their time recording their album-in Love's words, "finding the right sound, finding our place in music." But in the creation of "Talk to me", the duo felt more certain of their footing and more capable of flexing creative control over the project.

Now, in addition to promoting and performing behind their own songs, T-Nice are expanding into songwriting and production for other artists. Both men see these pursuits as essential to their longevity in a fickle and fast-changing music industry. As Love wisely says: "We've seen too many artists come one day and go the next day."

"Since we're in this for the long period," "we're making sure that our business and creativity is properly taken care of. I'd hate to look back years from now and know we threw it all away because we didn't handle it the right way."

"Growing up in different parts of the world," Love says, "we heard not just contemporary R&B and Hip-Hop, but also the great blues and jazz artists that came before us-people like B.B. King and Miles Davis. When those artists made music, they really made you feel something. They transformed the pain and hardship of those times in their art."

"Well, E-Nice and I (Love), we've also seen some hard times trying to figure out how to make it in this world. Now we're trying to use those experiences to put that kind of deep feeling into our music. The sound of our music-that's what people are going to hear from now on.

T-Nice has searched deep in order to produce what they have and that has led changes in a way that people will still recorgonise them. They are at the moment working together with Joyto Records (known by its famous C.O Don Clovis, manager of K1 Fighters in Holland).

It is a warm feeling that enables them to do what they do. There are a lot of plans installed for their fans says the manager in Germany. You will hear more from T-nice all around the globe so keep your ears and eyes open. Also visit them at their official website www.t-nice.com to know them more.
