Tynisha Keli Signs New Record Deal With Humble Sound Records

Tynisha Keli Signs New Record Deal With Humble Sound Records
Posted By: Lenell Johnson on January 30, 2026


Acclaimed singer-songwriter and platinum-selling recording artist Tynisha Keli has officially signed a new recording deal with Humble Sound Records, marking an exciting new chapter in her celebrated career. The partnership will usher in the release of her highly anticipated third studio album, The Chronicles of TK: The Phoenix, a project that represents rebirth, resilience, and creative freedom for the R&B powerhouse. Known worldwide for her breakout hit “I Wish You Loved Me” and her emotionally rich songwriting, Tynisha Keli has long been respected for her authenticity, vocal depth, and fearless storytelling. With The Chronicles of TK: The Phoenix, Keli steps fully into her evolution—both as an artist and as a woman—offering a deeply personal body of work that reflects growth, healing, and triumph after adversity. “This album is my rise,” says Tynisha Keli. “The Phoenix represents everything I’ve survived, everything I’ve learned, and everything I’ve become. Signing with Humble Sound Records felt right because they understand my vision and allow me to create without limits.”

The new deal with Humble Sound Records signals a strategic and creative alignment between artist and label. Known for its artist-first approach, Humble Sound Records has built a reputation for empowering talent while maintaining high artistic and production standards. The label’s leadership expressed strong confidence in Keli’s vision and the impact of the forthcoming album. The album is being produced by Grammy-Nominated, and award winning producer, songwriter, and recording artist James Artissen who is also the Chief Executive Officer and Founder of Humble Sound Records.

“Tynisha Keli is a timeless artist with a powerful voice and an undeniable story,” said a representative from Humble Sound Records. “The Chronicles of TK: The Phoenix is not just an album—it’s a statement.



We’re honored to partner with her on this next chapter and to help bring this project to the world at the level it deserves.” The Chronicles of TK: The Phoenix is expected to showcase a refined blend of contemporary R&B, soul, and emotionally driven pop, anchored by Keli’s signature heartfelt lyricism. The album explores themes of love, loss, self-worth, rebirth, and empowerment, drawing from real-life experiences that have shaped her journey over the years. Fans can expect raw vulnerability paired with confident declarations of strength, all delivered through lush production and powerful vocal performances.

As her third studio album, the project builds upon the foundation laid by her previous releases while pushing her artistry forward. It stands as both a continuation and a rebirth—an artistic resurrection that mirrors the symbolism of the phoenix rising from the ashes. In addition to the album release, the partnership with Humble Sound Records will include a comprehensive rollout strategy featuring new singles, visual content, media appearances, and live performances. More details regarding the album’s release date and lead single are expected to be announced soon.

With this new deal and upcoming album, Tynisha Keli reclaims her narrative and solidifies her place as one of R&B’s most enduring and authentic voices. The Chronicles of TK: The Phoenix is not just a return—it’s a powerful rise, and the world is invited to witness it.
