When The Sunday Gleaner spoke to her just last month, Tessanne Chin revealed that her long-awaited album was near completion.
Fast-forward a few weeks and the official release date has been set. June 24 will be the date Chin unveils her second studio album.
Count On My Love will be released by Republic Records, a division of Universal Music Group Recordings (UMG) and follows her 2010 effort, In Between Worlds.
The album is now only available for pre-order on iTunes but is already generating quite a buzz on the social media scene with many, including telecommunications giant, Digicel, sharing the news.
On Tuesday night, the singer returned to the 'Voice' stage to perform her debut single from the album titled Everything Reminds Me Of You. Since her performance, responses to the track have been so overwhelming that the song was made available on iTunes two days later.
The song is already making its way up her list of iTunes songs, becoming her third most popular effort.
Her other single from the upcoming album Tumbling Down is her sixth most popular, while her 'Voice' renditions of Bridge Over Troubled Waters and Whitney Houston's I Have Nothing are still her most noted efforts.
The singer has a busy summer ahead of her with expected appearances at Reggae Sumfest and the upcoming 'Voice' tour. Chin and her fellow finalists from season five of 'The Voice', Will Chaplain and Jacqui Lee will reunite for the tour, scheduled to start in June and end in August.
Although admitting that seven weeks of touring will be challenging, Chin said she was looking forward to re-uniting with the season five cast in addition to joining the season six finalists.
