Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Jaheim is back by popular demand with his upcoming album titled, Appreciation Day. which will be in stores this fall.

“It’s been so long since I’ve had a chance to create music from my heart for the fans that have loved and supported me from the start. I decided to call the project Appreciation Day because that’s exactly what this album is…my show of appreciation to them,” said the Naughty By Nature affiliate in a press statement.

Yesterday (May 8) he released “Age Ain’t A Factor,” a single off the album and on Mother’s Day he’ll provide an all-expense paid weekend for a fan and his or her mother to attend his show on May 11 in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

He further explained, “It was important for me to do something special for the Mothers out there. These ladies give of themselves all year round. I’m, just sorry I couldn’t make the day beautiful for every woman everywhere.”
