Data Insight

All eleven tracks carry her and only one carries nobody else, the lowest solo share of any album here. She made it in separate sessions with different producers and co-writers, which is the opposite of how everything before it was done.

This Is M.E. came out on her own ME Records in September 2014, her first album away from Island in twenty-six years. It runs 41 minutes across eleven tracks.
