The Chronicles of TK


The Chronicles of TK is the debut album from Tynisha Keli originally titled, "Even If It Takes Forever".

Background

Keli delivers her story with uplifting optimism, setting vignettes from her life, both happy and sad, to an irresistible backdrop of urban-influenced rhythmic groove and touching R&B balladry crafted by leading songwriters and producers Kara DioGuardi and J.R. Rotem, who between them have worked with such artists as Pink, Britney Spears, Rihanna, Gwen Stefani, Kelly Clarkson, Ashlee Simpson, and Ashley Tisdale.
The original recording sessions spawned contributions from Soulshock & Karlin: Carsten Schack and Kenneth Karlin, James Poyser, Mario Barrett, Shaffer "Ne-Yo" Smith and The Jam: Michael Mani & Jordan Omley, but none of the tracks made it to the final cut.
