Group to release third album

T.O.K's 'Guardian Angel' single is the number one ringtone in Japan.

The dancehall group was featured on the front page of Yahoo JP News which states: 'It's Unbelievable'. The song had no major promo, no ties to TV, movies or games. Guardian Angel is not a new song and is now number one. This proves once again that T.O.K are solid as a rock and fans still can't get enough of them.

T.O.K member, Flexx, told THE STAR, "it's just a wonderful feeling, especially in times like these in the business, where people not selling as many records any more. So the fact that we have a single that was released in early 2008, and now it's the number one ringtone in Japan ... and that doesn't include reggae/ dancehall music alone, but hip hop and rap songs, it's a good feeling."

In addition, Flexx said the song was not even promoted as much on the international stage.

Third album

"To know that the song wasn't even promoted half as much on the international stage, because we didn't even have a video for that song ... but I guess is just the power of the music and our name is still going strong," he said.

T.O.K is currently in studio working on material for its third albaum.

Flexx says, "we presently in studio with Tony Kelly, working on some exclusive tracks for the album, which will be released in June. This will be our third album and it's called Our World. Right now it's highly anticipated in Japan, Europe and North America. Normally, when artistes put out albums, they have singles on it that has been out already, but this album will have alot of new stuff, plus exclusive tracks never heard before."
