Data Insight
Fourteen of sixteen tracks are hers and Ben Briggs III writes on most of the album alongside her. Leaving the majors cut the sales to a tenth of Faithfully and left the writing exactly where it was, which says the co-writing was never a label requirement.
Something About Faith came out in October 2010 on Prolific and E1, her first independent release. It sold 77,000 in the United States.
