90s girl group SWV is officially back in the studio and plan to use a reality show to help raise their profile...
From Billboard
The singers are working on the first single and planning to release the album this year. They will chronicle their journey on a new reality show, which they're shopping around to television networks. Taj, who appeared on "Survivor" and TV One's "I Married a Baller," has the most experience with reality TV.
"For me, it may be a little hard because I'm a little moody, so I may have to take some time off from taping and take a break," Coko says.
"I had fun," Leanne "Lelee" Lyons says of filming the pilot. "If I can be me and other people enjoy it, then it's alright with me... it's just a regular day with cameras."
The show will also address the conflicts that led to their break. "We're going to be honest about it," Taj says. "Every day is not perfect." They also hope that their story will help young girls who want to follow in their footsteps. "They have to understand it's not an easy road. It's hard as hell out here and it doesn't get easy at all. The more successful you become, the more work you have to put in. We want them to realize that you just don't put on a cute little bra top and sing a note and dance and everything is gold," Taj says.
The ladies will continue to put in work, hitting the road in July. They would also be open to working with their fellow girl groups on a super tour like New Kids on the Block and the Backstreet Boys. "Why can't we do that? Why can't we get a bunch of girls together to do something like that?" Taj asks.
"Somebody really needs to pull that one off," Lelee says.
