The eighth annual Seagram's Live (also known as the Seagram's Gin Live Tour) was a co-headlining concert tour by American recording artists Mýa and Clipse. The short club tour ran for 11 shows in North America, in April 2007.
Background Following a near four year hiatus, several online publications reported Mya signed on to co-headline the eighth annual Seagram's Gin Live Tour, a signature urban music showcase event to promote her fourth studio album Liberation (2007). Although the singer doesn't drink anymore and during a brief interview when asked why she's on the tour, she laughed and responded, "I want to promote my new album. I love to perform, to dance, to sing...I love to be out on the road, have to be out on the road, taking in that scenery...The gin is just a bonus if I want it." A concert package, the outing included co-headliners rappers Clipse and up and coming soul singer Jovan Dais touring hot night spots in 11 cities. Opting to play clubs instead of larger venues, the tour was described to be "more intimate" in the singer's own words. She expounded on the subject and explained, "Stadium don't come until you have about four singles or albums, some sponsors." For Mya, this tour was a way to reintroduce herself into the marketplace.
