The UB Interview: Tone Stith Talks #1 ‘FLY’ + Upcoming Album ‘The Edge’
Tone Speaks on "Fly" Visual & Solicits Chris Brown & Usher For Tour Spot.
One of our new friends of the site, Tone Stith is officially flying high.
His single “FLY” has reached #1 on both the Billboard Adult Airplay and Mediabase Adult R&B charts, while also becoming the #1 airplay gainer at the format, marking a major moment for the Grammy-winning singer, songwriter, and producer.
After steadily building, the record has truly taken off.
Radio support has been strong across key markets, including New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Washington, DC, Nashville, and Birmingham, helping drive the record’s consistent growth week after week.
What started as a personal message about growth and moving forward has become a song that listeners are connecting with in a real way.
This moment follows the release of “Shut Up” last year, which reintroduced Tone’s sound and set the tone for this run.
Now, all roads lead to “The Edge,” which drops May 15th via MNRK Music Group.
This project represents Tone’s evolution not just as an artist, but as a person.
After years of navigating expectations and playing within the lines, this album finds him creating from a place of freedom and clarity.
It leans into a broader musical palette, drawing on funk, soul, and pop influences while remaining rooted in R&B, allowing him to stretch beyond what people might expect.
With “The Edge,” Tone is focused on making music that lasts, driven by feeling, intention, and honesty rather than formulas!
It is a more confident, expressive version of him, shaped by growth, self-awareness, and a willingness to take risks.
