After Lyfe Jennings released his debut album 268-192, earning critical acclaim and platinum sales, the singer/songwriter has remained a constant figure in the R&B market. No longer signed to Sony Entertainment, the Ohio native has recently inked a label deal with Warner Bros. Records for his Jesus Swings imprint and fourth album.

Continuing with the theme of change, Jennings has also parted ways with his former management team, and is now being led by Manny Halley, CEO of Imani Entertainment and manager of R&B songstress Keyshia Cole.

“Manny is the first manager who I really feel gets me,” says Jennings. “And just like he’s done great things with superstar Keyshia Cole, we’re gonna do great things together; for music and our communities.”

“It isn’t every day, let alone in an economy such as the one we have, that an artist can leave a label, ink a multi-million dollar deal and do it all with a positive message,” declares Manny Halley. “It’s a pleasure to witness good still reaping good.”

Currently, Lyfe Jennings is working on his new album on Warner Bros. Records, tentatively scheduled for a summer release date.
