Hailing from Ohio, 98 is Motown s
new est fo u r-m an team -- Je ff
Timmons, Justin Jeffrc, and brothers
Nick and Drew Laehey - 98 are sure
to make the summer sizzle with the
release o f their self-titled debut al
bum, “98.”
98 kicked off the summer with the
release of “Invisible M an,” which
was the #1 most added single at pop
and crossover radio its first week
out. “Invisible Man" is quickly climb
ing the pop charts and took a jump
from #77 to #60 to #47 on B i llboard’s
Pop chart in its first three weeks on
the chart. “Invisible Man" delivers a
solid pop record, with a subtle soul
influence. The mid-tempo pop song
tells the tale of loving that special
someone who doesn’t know you ex
ist. “This was the first song we re
corded for Motown andjust felt from
day one that it was special,” explains
Nick.
Signed to Motown by label Presi-
dent/CEO Andre Harrell, 98 deliver
an album rooted in harmony and have
created a sound that is all their own.
In addition to working with Tricky
and Sean, 98 recruited the talents of
songwriters and producers Rashad
Sm ith(702, total and Seal), labelmate
Mario Winans, and early supporter,
Def Jam recording artist, Montell
Jordan.
Looking to become part o f the
Motown legacy, 98 is working over
time this summer to spread the heat.
The group is currently on a summer
tour of cheerleading eamps, will
spend the month of August perform
ing at the Six Flags amusement parks
nationwide, and have just been con
firmed to participate this fall in Sev
enteen Live, a national mall tour spon
sored by Seventeen magazine.
So as the temperature begins to
rise, remember it can’t get any hotter
than 98 this summer!
