Fear of Flying (album)
''Fear of Flying'' is the second studio album by American singer-songwriter Mýa, released April 25, 2000 on Interscope Records. Recording sessions for the album took place during late 1999 to early 2000. Mýa worked with a wide range of producers and songwriters on the album which included Rodney Jerkins, Swizz Beatz, Wyclef Jean, Knobody, Robin Thicke, Tricky Stewart, and Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis to embrace a more mature sound. ''Fear of Flying'' is a metaphor for the ups and downs of life. It's about handling things like an adult, knowing you must have faith to make anything happen.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mya Shares Her 'Fear Of Flying' )〕 The album showcased Mýa experimenting with a wider genre of music such as reggae, soul, and hip-hop and served as a departure from her conventional structure of her debut studio album ''Mýa'' (1998); representing a musical promise fulfilled, combining saucy femininity and no-nonsense assuredness. It was the sound of a budding composer and song stylist discovering her creative voice and reflections of being in love for the very first time, experience success, and the fears of fame.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mya: More Than A Songstress )〕
''Fear of Flying'' spawned three singles including; the Swizz Beatz-produced street savvy anthem "The Best of Me" featuring Jadakiss and worldwide pop sensational hits "Case of the Ex" and "Free". The former was an instant success worldwide, it reached the top twenty in over eight countries including United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, Belgium and Netherlands. The latter became an international hit; it reached the top twenty in two countries the United Kingdom and Australia.
''Fear of Flying'' debuted at number fifteen on ''Billboard'' 200 chart on May 13, 2000 with first-week sales of 72,000 copies. Upon its release, the album seem be suffering from the dreaded sophomore slump. The first single, "The Best of Me" under-performed on the charts, not even making it into the pop Top 40. The follow-up, "Case of the Ex" proved to be a different matter. Interscope Records issued a commercial single for the song, which helped propel it to number two, and in turn solidified the album as a hit; re-releasing ''Fear of Flying'' on November 7, 2000 with two previous unreleased tracks. The album earned a platinum certification by Recording Industry Association of America on March 28, 2001 and two gold certification by Australian Recording Industry Association and Canadian Recording Industry Association.
