bigted Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 will has a point there, people don't really pay attention to albums that much anymore because of the internet, he could release his music digitally without an album and I'll be happy as long as he's putting out material it's all good...

Will Smith on New Music, Tour & the Industry: 'It's Much More ADHD -- Unless You're Adele' 12/3/2015 by Melinda Newman Count Will Smith as one of Adele’s millions of admirers. “Love that record,” he tells Billboard of her record-breaking 25. But don’t expect him to go down the same album path as the British chanteuse as he readies new music and preps for this summer’s reunion tour with Jazzy Jeff. “I have a bunch of songs. I don’t know if I’ll do an album. I‘m looking for a really clever and creative way to release the music,” he says, adding that he’s been paying attention to how his teenage children, Willow and Jaden, absorb music. “I’ve been watching my kids, and they don’t do albums anymore. Just the way that people consume music is really different than go out and buy 12 songs, 14 songs, and listen all the way through in one setting. It’s much more ADHD -- unless you’re Adele.” Smith’s last studio album release was Lost and Found, which came out in 2005 on Interscope and peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard 200. Will Smith Returns to Charts, Joining Bomba Estereo on Hot Latin Songs Smith, who performed “Fiesta” with Bomba Estereo at the Latin Grammys last month, is in the midst of a press blitz for Concussion. In the real-life film, which opens Christmas Day, Smith plays Bennet Omalu, the forensic pathologist who discovered the link between NFL players and their debilitating brain injuries caused by years of concussions and hard hits. He admits it’s a little “schizophrenic” plugging his role, for which he’s an Oscar contender; making music, and planning his outing with Jazzy Jeff, but he has total clarity on how eager he is to get back in front of a live audience. “I’m just getting to the point that there are things I love to do and I just want to go and I want to do it,” says Smith, 47. “There’s nothing that compares to being onstage with a hit record. Those first couple of seconds when people recognize the song and it’s the one they’ve been waiting for, there’s nothing in entertainment that matches that feeling. So I’m really looking forward to getting out there this summer and performing.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Tyrailius Posted January 3, 2016 Members Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 I have been so amped about this tour ever since I heard about it! Honestly, even if they didn't do new music, I would love it. I plan on going, I just hope there is one around here or the Kansas City area. DJ Jazzy Jeff and Fresh Prince with the Roots as the open would be amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VIsqo Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 Man, Im living in Springfield, MO. If he gets to Kansas City Im definitely going to be checking them out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevTastic Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 Jeff's comments in that article worry me a little that the tour has gone from a definate to a possibility. It seems the same old problem of getting Will tied down and committed to something music wise is back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
