Black Rose is the sixth and final studio album by American R&B recording artist Tyrese. It was released on July 10, 2015, by his label Voltron Recordz and distributed by Caroline Records.
"Shame", released as the second single from the album, peaked at number one on the Billboard Adult R&B Songs, becoming one of his highest charting singles to date. Upon its release, the album debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 and Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, becoming his only album to ever reach the number one on the chart. "Shame" was nominated for Best Traditional R&B Performance and Best R&B Song at the 58th Grammy Awards.
In 2006, Tyrese released his fourth studio album Alter Ego to critical and commercial failure. He took some time off from music to focus on his family and his acting career, starring in the films Waist Deep, Legion and the Transformers franchise. In 2011, after a five-year hiatus, he released his fifth studio album Open Invitation. The album debuted at number 9 on the US Billboard 200, becoming his highest-charting album at the time. The album received a nomination for Best R&B Album at the 55th Grammy Awards, losing to Robert Glasper Experiment's Black Radio. In 2013, Tyrese, along with his music friends Tank and Ginuwine, released their debut collaboration album under the supergroup as TGT entitled Three Kings. Tyrese then took another hiatus from music and resumed acting, starring in the movies Fast and Furious 6, Furious 7 and Black Nativity. It was announced that his next solo album would be released in 2014 as a double album. This album became Black Rose, and was released summer 2015.
