Amel Larrieux

For Amel Larriuex, there’s a simple explanation on her six-year absence. “Life happens in between, when you have kids. I have an 18-year-old and a 14-year-old and I’ve always been a hands-on parent,” she tells TheDrop.fm. However, the songbird returns with new music this year...

Amel Larrieux is gearing up to release her new album, 'Ice Cream Everyday.' The R&B songbird just released the tracklist for the LP, which is her first in over six years.

After a week of voting, the people have spoken and crowned Kelly Rowland the winner of last week's R&B Sound Off. Going against her Destiny's Child sister Beyonce, Rowland's 'Gone' raked in 76.54 percent of the vote while Bey's 'Rise Up' only received 23.46 percent.

Well, that was fast. After releasing her new single, 'Afraid,' Amel Larrieux has unveiled the cover art for her new album, 'Ice Cream Everyday.' This will be the singer's fifth solo album and we couldn't be more happy for her.

It's been a while since we heard any new music from Amel Larrieux. Outside of a few singles, the R&B songstress has kept quiet until now. She just released the uptempo ballad 'Afraid,' and it sounds fantastic.
