THIS IS HOW I FEEL

Audio Mixer: Jaycen Joshua. Recording information: Atlantic Studios, Los Angeles, CA; Boom Boom Room, Los Angeles, CA; Encore, Los Angeles; Hot Beats, Atlanta, GA; Paramount, Los Angeles, CA; Platinum Sound, New York, NY; Record Plant, Los Angeles. Photographer: Christian Lantry. Tank proves he's earned that moniker by going shirtless on his 2012 release This Is How I Feel. If that doesn't get you thinking "bedroom music," then remember that the video for the album's lead single, "Next Breath," premiered on Valentine's Day 2012, and that the R&B heartthrob's pre-release tour was dubbed "The Couples Retreat," as in, "don't bring the kids." Look for fellow R&B singer Chris Brown on the album's second single, "Lonely."
