Blaque

The R&B trio Blaque (an acronym for “Believe, Life, Achieving, Quest, Unity and Everything”) comprised singers Shamari, Natina and Brandi. Discovered by TLC’s Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes, their self-titled debut LP was released on Columbia’s Trackmasters imprint in mid-1999. Blaque Out followed in 2002 and only in Japan, but in 2007 it was briefly made available digitally in the U.S. before being pulled from online stores; it was digitally reissued in 2011. A third album, Torch, was recorded but never released.
