One half of Milli Vanilli is plotting a comeback, and this time he plans to use his real voice. Fab Morvan – better known as Vanilli – is working with Tiësto and Eminem's tour DJ, the Alchemist, on his first solo album since 2003.
It was the Alchemist who confirmed Morvan's return in an interview with celebrity news website TMZ. "I'm working on a joint with Vanilli," said the DJ, who has produced tracks for Lil Wayne, Curren$y and Raekwon. "[He's] making a comeback." The Alchemist insisted this time there would be no lip-syncing: "Real shit," he said, "dude."
Speaking to the New York Daily News, a representative for the singer also revealed that Morvan had finished a song with trance legend Tiësto. "Whatever you read in the press is one thing, but you can be sure I'm coming with new music," Morvan wrote on Twitter. "By the way I never left."
While Milli Vanilli had worldwide hits in the late-80s, songs such as Girl You Know It's True and Girl I'm Gonna Miss You became infamous after Morvan and Rob Pilatus, aka Milli, were revealed as lip-syncing fronts. Their label dropped them, fans sued them, and the Grammys revoked their best new artist prize. Platus and Morvan tried to soldier on, releasing two more records, but it ended in tragedy: Pilatus was found dead at the age of 32 from a suspected alcohol and prescription pill overdose in a Frankfurt hotel room in 1998.
Morvan's last solo album, 2003's Love Revolution, was self-released. It featured the song It's Your Life, which Morvan described as a tribute to his former bandmate.
