Louder (Lea Michele album)
''Louder'' is the debut studio album by actress and singer Lea Michele. It was released on February 28, 2014, by Columbia Records. The album was preceded by the release of the album's lead single, "Cannonball". Michele collaborated with many songwriters and producers on the album, including Stargate and The Monsters and the Strangerz, both of whom have previously worked with recording artists such as Demi Lovato and Rihanna. Musically, the album is pop music styled, with influences from the dance-pop, vocal, and pop rock genres. Lyrically, the album speaks of strength and empowerment, romantic relationships, and loss of love.
''Louder'' received mixed reviews from critics, with many criticizing its material as outdated and comparing it to albums by other pop singers like Katy Perry and Celine Dion. However, Michele's vocal performance received generally positive reception. In the United States, the album sold over 62,000 copies in its first week, debuting at number 4 on the ''Billboard'' 200 Albums Chart. In the United Kingdom, the album debuted at number 9 on the Digital Albums Chart and number 16 on the UK Albums Chart. In Canada, the album also reached the number 4 spot in its first week of release. As well as the first single "Cannonball", four promotional singles were also released in the lead up to the album. Songwriters who feature on the album include singers Sia Furler and Christina Perri, and Academy Award-nominated lyricist Anne Preven.
==Background==
In September 2012, it was announced that Michele had signed a recording contract to release her debut studio album. Recording for the album began the following month, on October 19, 2012. Shortly into the recording process, Michele stated that it was going to be 'a pretty slow process' and that the musical direction she would take would be more 'pop/rock driven' rather than Broadway influenced, which is what her fans were most used to hearing. Michele collaborated with a number of big music figures, including producers The Monsters and the Strangerz, Stargate, Kuk Harrell, Colin Munroe, and Chris Braide, to name a few. Michele completed vocal recording on the album in June 2013, and the album was set for release in late 2013, however, Michele's boyfriend died in July 2013 so the album was pushed back until March 2014.
Notable songwriters on the album include Australian singer-songwriter Sia Furler, American singer-songwriters Christina Perri and Bonnie McKee, and Academy Award-nominated songwriter Anne Preven. Furler penned 4 of the tracks that feature on the album, including "Cannonball" and "If You Say So" which was co-written with Michele. Most of the songs on the album are of the pop, dance-pop, and pop rock genres, mixed with some traditional pop ballads including "If You Say So" and "Battlefield". Before the release of the lead single "Cannonball", Michele stated: "I just felt that "Cannonball" was the perfect first song for people to hear from this record. It just really explains where I am right now and it's been such an inspirational song for me. It's been such a rock, such a source of strength for me."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lea Michele's 'Cannonball' 'Helped Me With My Loss' After Cory Monteith's Death )〕 The second single "On My Way" was released on May 4, 2014.
