Donors of TLC Kickstarter Upset Over Delay
Approximately a year ago, ’90s pop group TLC launched a Kickstarter fundraiser in January, eventually raising over $430,000.
However, fans are now becoming impatient about the album, which Chilli and T-boz said would be released in mid-October and later postponed to sometime in 2016 after the group became busy with “other projects.”
The campaign’s non-album related prizes, including signed vinyls and scrapbooks, were promised to be shipped and sent to donors by mid-October, however many say they have still had no confirmation.
The group released a statement saying in part:
“After seeing and greeting so many of you on our tour this summer, we took a short break and now we are in the studio recording our new album with Ron Fair, coming out in 2016. The music is coming out great and it’s only with your support of TLC on Kickstarter that this is possible. We thank you and promise that we will continue rolling out all the Kickstarter prizes except the album by mid-October. We are moving the album back to 2016, so that we will have more time to finish the record the TLC way. Thanks as always for your love and support and we can’t wait to deliver a new record and tour next year.”
The #TLCIsGoingtoJailParty trend jumpstarted when T-Boz responded to fan’s tweet about getting a $5 refund:
