Data Insight
Her name is on all 14 tracks, more than the other seven albums put together. Jozzy, Jocelyn Donald, Polow da Don and Jamal Jones write six each with her. Twenty years after a debut she had nothing to do with on paper, she wrote every song on the record, and it is the worst-charting album she has made.
Code Red came out on RCA in December 2015 and reached number 27 on the Billboard 200 and number four on the R&B chart. It was her last album for the label, and none of its singles registered a chart peak.
