In 2026, Tank reminded the world that he was a member of slow-jam royalty when he went head-to-head with fellow R&B smoothie Tyrese in a VERZUZ face-off. But on his 11th album, he also establishes himself as a sonic adventurer—on “WHOLE LOT OF ME” he dives into trap, his voice draping itself over its snares and heavy low end, while “RICK” is a modern roller-rink jam where he trades one-liners with the legendary MC Remy Ma. Tank also gets in touch with his spiritual side on EXPERIENCE, bringing out his gospel background after years of being averse to doing so; the album closes with the repentant “HOW I NEED YOU,” a devotional with vocal assistance from gospel heavyweights Kirk Franklin, Eric Dawkins, and Zacardi Cortez. Tank is still a master of the bedroom-ready ballad. The Janet Jackson-interpolating “CONTROL” is lush and seductive, while “YOU KNOW” uses synths to make Tank’s sweet nothings shine. But EXPERIENCE lives up to its title, with Tank’s storied career as a jumping-off point for him to stretch his artistry.
