Liberation (Mýa album)
''Liberation'' is the fourth studio album by American recording artist Mýa. It was intended to be Harrison's debut release with her then new record label Universal Motown following her departure from Interscope in 2005. Before leaving, she had begun work on an album for Interscope called ''Control Freak'' set for a summer release 2005 with production by a host of other producers. Ultimately, she decided to leave A&M and Interscope Records and her management in favor of Universal Motown.
Within a three-month period Harrison had completed and submitted ''Liberation'' to her new label. Production on the album, which was classified as "energetic () ghetto" with a less classic R&B edge, was primarily handled by Scott Storch and J.R. Rotem with additional contributions from Bryan Michael Cox, Kwame, Carvin & Ivan, longtime contributor Tricky Stewart, and a handful of others. Guest appearances included Long Beach native Snoop Dogg, Murder Inc rapper Charlie Baltimore and New Orleans rapper Lil Wayne.
''Liberation'' spawned two singles, the Storch collaboration "Lock U Down" and R&B ballad "Ridin'". Both singles failed to make an impact at radio and on the charts. Due to the industry's budget cuts, the album suffered numerous delays and pushbacks. However while delaying the album's release again Universal Motown accidentally leaked the album in Japan, and ''Liberation'' was subsequently released as a digital download only in Japan on October 22, 2007. ''Liberation'' marked Harrison's only release on Universal Motown label following her departure in 2008.〔
==Background==
In July 2003, Mýa released her third studio album ''Moodring''. Her first full-length studio album since the release of her worldwide number-one hit "Lady Marmalade", a collaboration recorded for director Baz Luhrmann's ''Moulin Rouge!'' film soundtrack, it opened to positive reviews and first week sales of 113,000 copies, reaching number three on the US ''Billboard'' 200 album chart.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Critic Reviews for Moodring at Metacritic )〕 While it marked the singer's highest debut and opening sales yet,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title='Bad Boys' Continues Its Good Chart Run )〕 ''Moodring'' sold less than its predecessor, 2000's ''Fear of Flying'', which was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and sold 1.2 million units in the United States. Lead single "My Love Is Like...Wo" became a top twenty hit on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 and performed similarly on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, however second single "Fallen" performed modestly and therefore not given an international release; resulting into no further releases from the album. Though promotion for ''Moodring'' ended, nevertheless Harrison embarked on a House of Blues Tour, a twenty-three day city tour that took place October 11, 2003 until November 10, 2003.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mýa Concert at Dream Nightclub, Washington, DC, USA Setlist on October 24, 2003 )〕
