Multi-talented Academy Award-nominated actor Terrence Howard is getting ready to release his debut album “Shine Through It” via Columbia Records on September 2nd. Check out the video above to peep Terrence talking about his inspirations for the album, as well as song snippets.
I was surprised he was killing that guitar like that. I guess he was actually playing it in that movie “The Best Man”, I always thought he wasn’t. LOL! Anyway, do your thing Terrence.
What! Actors want to sing, and singers want to act. Oh well….i’ll take the wait and see approach on this one. lol
ummm.ok!he is a very talented actor,dont know about singin
is it true that he is ashamed of being black?i know im probaly going to get internet-bombed but whateva,im just askin
Yes he is truely a musician. He alway carry his guitar everywhere he goes. I am very surprise he don’t have it on the red carpet with him. Cause he’s known for always having his instrument.
i enjoy his style, but the voice idk. His music (not the vocals) is soothing. Maybe it will grow on me? idk
Ooooooooh Terrance. Please shut your mouth and keep playing that guitar. THAT sounded beautiful but your voice wants to make me rip out my ear drums and light them on fire. Make this album an instrumental and I’ll be sure to pick it up.
I’m always worried when a singer turns actor/actress and an actor/actress turns singer but Terrance is so talent not to mention fine Ima have to check the music out.
Look forward to hearing him because he did his thing on ‘The Best Man’.
Ok Tee didn’t know it was possible for you to increase your sexy but you’ve succeeded in doing it yet again!! T is an onion, many layers to him!
I like it sounds like some good highway or clean the house music… so glad he is living his passion thru!!
Well I guess I can breathe easy — when I heard he was doing an album, I thought he was about to bust out & start rapping “Hustle & Flow” style.
IDK how I feel about his voice yet, but the music is nice.
I’m feeling the music. Definitely sumthin diff for todays music.
cant wait for this to come out
HE SOUNDS A GOD AWFUL MESSSSSSSSSSS. JUST PLAY DONT SING PLEASEEEE
I lke his raspy and grity sound…its one of a kind…everybody has a different soud and his definitely stands out…you dont have to od like luther or usher to sound good people.
Oh Jesus take the wheel because my computer is about to crash….I swear my computer started acting crazy as soon as this fool started to sing!!! The melody is great and I get where his is trying to go musically, but uh uh Boo Boo stick to acting, it suits you better.
I love him as an actor and I hear he has a real adult contemporary feel (read: grown and sexy) . I hope it sounds good
Ok now I realize why people think he is gay, I see it in the way he acts/talks.
He is good looking in a weird way and his voice reminds me of Seal.
I think he’d be better off as a song-writer than a singer!
dee dee

_______________________________________
No truer words have ever been spoken. I like the music but his vocals……
I wish he would just shut his mouth altogether. I used to really like him before I knew so much about him. Whenever he talks I wince. I never know what nonsense is going to come out of his mouth.
when a man has finesse he is gay? aiight fools.
He needs to do the Carlos Santana thing, and just play and have people guest on his album, really doubt the voice will grow on me. Plus his antics about black women is pure BS.
This should be interesting…
Ummmmm No. Stick to acting and carrying purses boo.
Slickback Ivan hoe playing the Mandolin????? (shakes head) I’ve got nothing!!!!!
Ok.. DEFINITELY needs to be instrumentals.
His voice is actually pretty decent; recalls the 70s and simplicity, but the instrumentation overshadows EVERYTHING in all it’s pure GOODNESS.
Lush stuff. I like it.
Sounds interesting, at first I thought he would just play the guitar, that would be nice too. Terrence Howard is a renaissance man, somewhat.
His music is very good. Well written, and melodic, but I don’t think his voice works very well with it. Its too bad. His voice turns me off.
i guess hustle and flow inspired him.
I don’t like his voice but he’s better than a lot of “singers” out today. I just can’t take it seriously idk. Maybe he should be a songwriter and a guitarist.
Hey if Queen Latifah can get away with it why not. His voice is pretty soothing, nothing special but sometimes a simple voice over sweet melody is plenty
LMAO!!!!!!!!!
his music is beautiful,
something i can sit back and relax to.
it has meaning to it,
a lot of people today in the industry dont have that.
he puts his inspiration into his music
and the meaning captures you.
its something different.
I love it when people are different.
Him, Keri Hilson, Solange, Teyana Taylor, Keke Palmer.
People like that
love T. Howard and i’m uber excited about the upcoming album. i will be copin it.
i actually like the sound. it’s kind of like when anthony hamilton first came out and some people just had a hard time getting into it. i like the instrument use as well. i’m glad he doesn’t sound like (or try to sound like) all the other goop that’s out now.
@19 – i know right?
If this negro can sing than so can I. If he’s going to borrow T Pains voice box to cover up that croaking he’s doing then fine, sing. If not, he shouldnt even clear his throat! But play that guitar anytime you want.

i like it, something i can definitely relax with.. i can appreciate him doing what makes him happy. he seems really passionate about it
That Man Got Me, I Will Support Anythang T H Does. Those Eyes Are Mad Sexy!

his voice reminds me of john legend. some people love him & others can’t stand him.
Ok….I’ve always liked him as an actor. I never knew he was into music. His vocals aren’t so bad….The guitar is sick tho. I love it……The singing will grow on me eventually
NO!
Check out this video of rapper Peedi Crakk:

Guess he’s back!
Terrance Howard is a coon, don’t support him people. When he was on David Letterman talking grimy about the Katrina survivors that was it for me. The man is nothing but a sellout.
Love the instrumentals. The voice however; not sure. I tried to see if it would grow on me as he sang and it just seemed to get worse. Maybe you should have some instrumentals and then guest vocalist with different styles, e.g. Anthony Hamilton, Robin Thicke, Raheem Devaughn, Jennifer Hudson or Jill Scott, Justin T., Nancy Wilson (check out her vocals on Next Exit with Grover Washington) etc.
His music is very calm and relaxing. His guitar skills are great. However, His voice needs work. It’s not as strong as I’d thought it would be. But I’d still listen to his album regardless.
In Sync with the CLOUDS??? did he just say that? Negro SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!
Smh . People don’t know when to quit
LOL i thought he was fakin in the best man too…well this should be interesting. i guess all actors gotta try it once.
The music is beautiful..but I heard somebody else wrote most of it. Oh well, cant blame a brother for trying.
Hi … I’m new here as far as posting I read all the time tho … I really just wanted to say to Terrabce to PLEASE STFU! The singing makes me want to surgically remove reonating sound of his vabrato from my mind and wither away in a heap … I mean maybe only slightly less dramatic than that… you suck at singing … but i love the way you play … keep that mic away from ya mouth son!
ttfn.~ Best Chick
GO AWAY DISAPPEAR U NASTY AZZ SELF HATIN TOM!!!! HIS ASS CANT SING. LOOKIN LIKE A MUTHAFUCKIN BALD CAT WIT DAT RELAXED HAIR.
Ok. Obviously someone at Columbia Records thought this CD was good enough to warrant a record deal. I would like to meet that person and ask them a series of questions.
However, just from listening to the samples…the music isn’t bad, but it’s not good. And I’m just going by the samples maybe the rest of the CD is better.
And Terrence definitely needs to undergo some voice training before he releases a second CD. I don’t think it’s a good thing if the weakness of your voice distracts the person listening to the music and keeps them from fully enjoying your work. Maybe it was nervousness. He almost sounds like he doesn’t have confidence in his voice.
But maybe this was the effect he was going for with his vocals. There are lots of musicians that people hate their voices but they have successful music careers: Mary J, John Legend, Alanis Morrisette, Tracy Chapman, etc.
It kinda reminds me of a bad Hootie from Hootie and the blowfish. I don’t know what to say, maybe the alternative scene will eat this up it was all a bit bland and his runs and tone remained the same throughout, snippet’s are suppose to show you the best f what to expect.
Wow I’m really impressed! He has a real folk/soft rock kinda voice and music, at least from these two songs.
I respect that he actually loves music and wants to express himself in his own way, instead of being produced by Timbaland, T-Pain, The Dream, Polow Da Don, Brian Michael Cox, and etc.
He is really talented and his voice suit this kind of music. He reminds me of Seal and Tracy Chapman or Trenec Trent d’Arby. Something that is not mainstream and… what a guitarist.
I mean Terence Trent D’Arby
His style of singing is similar to the breezy singing style that Seal has.
T’s music sounds good feels indie inspired. I must have overlooked the guitar scene and BEst Man. Will def pic this 1 up. Adult and Hot on a Midsummer’s NIght !!!!!!!!!!
He can really play the guitar!
That said….
WHAT THE HELL?!?
First: da hell was he talking about? I mean I kinda got it, but then he started talking about models and magazines and clouds
Second: NO MA’AM with that singing! Mm mm, not at all .He CAN PLAY though.
Third: when the hell did he start talking like that? Dat nigga is from OHIO…I think I probably see where those who say he is self hating are coming from. Seems like it. I remember hearing him on TV talk about he doesn’t have any hang ups with the white people using the N word.
