Marques Houston is back on the music scene with the hot single “Give Your Love A Try,” the lead track off his forthcoming album FAMOUS, due out August 27.
The singer/actors sixth studio album has been described as an updated mix of Marvin Gaye and D’Angelo. Marques decided he had to return to music after receiving so many requests from his fans via social media.
“I wanted to do an album for my fans,” Marques confides. “I took some time away from my music to focus on my acting and producing films but because of my Twitter, Facebook and Instagram blowing up with all my fans requesting new music, it gave me the motivation to get back in the studio.”
Indeed, a viral leak of his song/video “Speechless,” from the new album is already approaching 1,000,000 views on VEVO. The first single, “Give Your Love A Try” featuring native Los Angeles rapper Problem is on its way to be a chart topping hit that exhibits Houston’s fresh new sound. In promotion of the forthcoming LP, Houston is embarking on a thirteen-city major market tour with an all-female band to coincide with the album’s release.
