Innovative. Multi-talented. EXplosive.

All words that aptly describe IMx. Formerly known as Immature, the trio of Batman, Romeo and LDB announce their return with a new album and a new set of standards. The self-titled album is their strongest and most creative effort yet, and showcases the group’s development and diversity as artists. IMx is saturated with a varied mix of solid uptempo jams and soulful ballads, a true testament to IMx’s talent and growth.

"There’s a lot of things we’re showing off on this record," says a confident Batman. "We’re showing that we can really sing and that we’ve grown as artists and as individuals. It’s also important to us for people to see that we can get together and collectively write and produce, and that we have several strengths as a group."

The first single, entitled "Clap Your Hands," is, as LDB explains, "a booty-shakin’ g-string song. It’s kinda edgy but still fun because everybody can relate to it." Based on the universally known schoolyard rhyme of the same name, "Clap Your Hands" not only asks you if you’re happy – but if you want to get naughty. Other tracks including "Hate the Playa" and "Ain’t No Need" are hopping party anthems that guarantee packed dance floors nationwide.

IMx is a deeply personal album that showcases the threesome’s effortless vocal ability and taps their softer side with songs like "Beautiful" and "Tears." A poignant moment on the album comes with "First Time," a touching song that is dedicated to that special someone that everyone has, their "first." "LDB thought of this concept," Batman explains. "So many people have been there and remember the experience, and although it is a really personal subject, we wanted to write about something that everyone could feel and relate to

At the young age of 18, the members of IMx are already showbiz veterans with 10 years under their belt. The group first formed in 1991 when Chris Stokes, a young manager with an eye for fresh talent, saw Romeo rapping at a local youth center. In 1992, the group, then named Immature, released On Our Worst Behavior, followed by the wildly successful Playtime is Over, which included the hits "Never Lie," and "Constantly." We Got It soon followed before the band changed their name and released The Journey, featuring the certified gold single "Stay the Night."

Being in a popular R&B group who has sold an estimated seven million records and gone on tours with the likes of Brandy, the Notorious B.I.G. and Soul 4 Real would be enough for most recent high school graduates - but not for the men of IMx. They have spent a great deal of time honing their skills behind the board in the studio, something they are all very enthusiastic about. In addition to writing and producing all but one song on IMx, they have also produced tracks for other chart-topping artists by the likes of Destiny’s Child and Blaque.

In addition to IMx’s great success within the world of music, they have all ventured into the realm of acting for film and television. Batman was the first to pursue an acting career, landing a recurring role on the now syndicated hit television series Sister, Sister. The entire group appeared in House Party 3 alongside TLC and Kid ‘N Play, and has recently starred in New Line Cinema’s House Party 4.

For the critics who thought Immature were just a kiddie group with little hope of well, maturity, Batman counters that notion with a sly chuckle. "They’ll soon see," he says assuredly. "I think this album is really self-explanatory. They’ll feel the change once they hear the album. The songs on the album talk about what young men go through, as opposed to little boys. Everyone will be able to recognize that we have all grown and matured and are here to stay."

The past was Immature and though the future is unknown, the present is a sure thing…it’s IMx.
