When news broke that Hip-Hop’s First Lady Faith Evans was readying new music and a reality show, the entertainment business was buzzing with excitement.
The former Sean “Puffy” Combs protégé, who released three CDs for Bad Boy Entertainment – 1995’s ‘Faith,’ 1998’s ‘Keep the Faith’ and 2001’s ‘Faithfully’ – has not dropped a new album since her 2005 Capitol Records release, ‘The First Lady.’
The Grammy winner admitted in an exclusive interview with BV Buzz that she never expected to be gone as long as she was.
“It’s been five years,” she told BV Buzz. “I didn’t intend for it to be this long. It’s not like I had a time in mind.”
Evans, whose life with the late rapper Notorious B.I.G. was depicted in the blockbuster film ‘Notorious,’ said her role as a wife and mother took precedent to her recording career and was the main reason she had been out of the limelight.
“My career is a big part of my life, but it’s not my life,” she expressed. “I got four kids and that in itself alone was the main reason I took time off. I’ve had to take care of home and keep things in order there first before I could even consider doing music again. For me to be able to take the time to do this, I had to plant something with them. I couldn’t give the attention to projects like this and not give them their attention and stay on top of things the way I needed to.” http://www.bvbuzz.com/2010/02/15/faith-evans-reality-show-new-CD/
