R&B singer Ginuwine will launch a nine-date, cross-country tour April 2 in Philadelphia, and on April 12, he'll drop his third album, The Life. The Life features the first single, "There It Is," which is already moving up the charts — it's at #30 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart, up from #37 last week. On "That's How I Get Down," Ginuwine teams with Timbaland and Ludacris, and Lucy Pearl's Raphael Saadiq lends his production hand to several tracks.

Ginuwine also stars in the upcoming movie "Juwanna Man" with Vivica A. Fox, Lil' Kim and Miguel Nunez, Jr.
