After a four year hiatus, one of R&B's sexiest male artists, Ginuwine, is back on the scene. Ever since his first album, "The Bachelor" (1993), the DC native has been making hits, going platinum and he has no plans of throwing in the towel.

This time around, he's a "gentleman" and gives fans insight into "A Man's Thoughts," his new album which drops June 2.  As the gossip already begins to spread, Ginuwine stays focused and ignores feeding into it.  The Washington "gentleman" chatted with The District Chronicles about his new project, conflicts with previous his record label, group TGT and his plans for the future.

Q: I'm happy you're back out.  I just listened to your new single, "Last Chance," that you just shot the video for.  Could you tell us about the single and the video?

A: "Last Chance" is a song that describes what a guy or a woman would do. I would like to call it a universal song because it's one of those songs that a lot of people can relate to. The situation is your woman is fed up and if this is your last chance, what would you do? And these are the things that I am describing that I would do and the scenario of how we even got there.  So, pretty much it's about your last chance with your significant other.

Q: What's the plot of the video?

A: The video is following what the record is saying but giving it a twist. I am a cop along with my boy Tyrese and we are undercover detectives, and there is one situation that happens in the video where there's me chasing some bad guys and I end up getting shot.  The funny part is that it is a dream and the last thing that I remember is walking out the house arguing with my wife played by Lisa Raye. And that's not the last thing you want to have on your mind when something like that happens to you. It's going to be really touching to people once they look at because its one of those videos that makes you start thinking.  I have seen people talk to their mothers in bad tones. I've seen fellas talk to their girls in bad tones and leave. And you never know. That could be the last time they see you or you see them.  You never wanna' leave on that note. I get the opportunity to make it right.

Q: Sounds good.  So, that's the first single off the album.  What other songs can we look forward to off this new album?

A: You can look forward to R&B at its best. Me as an artist, I have been out for 12 years now and throughout my 12 years, I've stuck to my guns and delivered straight R&B and I've been successful. That's what I wanted to continue to do on this project deliver real R&B and you can expect what R&B has been known for: love, everyday experiences.
