Touch (Amerie album)
''Touch'' is the second studio album by American R&B recording artist Amerie, released in the United States on April 26, 2005 by Columbia Records and Sony Urban Music. Following the release of her debut album ''All I Have'' (2002) and her first acting role (in the film ''First Daughter''), Amerie began work on her second studio album. As with ''All I Have'', the album was co-written and produced by mentor Rich Harrison, with contributions from additional productions. Unlike her debut, Amerie co-wrote every track but one, and assumed more creative control over the visual imagery accompanying the album, such as videos and artwork.
''Touch'' is an R&B album with a diverse musical style that incorporates funk, hip hop, soul, and elements of Crunk&B. The musical style of the album was seen as a transition from Amerie's neo-soul debut. Its songs feature pulses, funky percussion, pumping energy, go-go beats with an organic core built around horns and electric pianos. Upon release ''Touch'' received generally positive reviews from music critics, who praised Amerie's vocals and Harrison's production. The album received numerous accolades including two Grammy Award nominations at the 48th Annual Grammy Awards including Best Contemporary R&B Album.
Commercially the album fared well debuting at number five on the ''Billboard'' 200 with first-week sales of 124,000 copies and was later certified gold by the RIAA, having sold 406,000 copies in the United States as of June 2009. The album also fared well elsewhere peaking within the top forty of the UK Albums Chart. The album spawned three singles including the lead single "1 Thing" which became Amerie's most commercially successful song to date, which peaked at number eight, on the US ''Billboard'' Hot 100. The song was followed by the release of the less successful singles "Touch" and "Talkin' About".
