Data Insight
Two of the 12 tracks are hers. Cainon Lamb, Rico Love, Anthony Randolph, Earl Hood and Eric Goudy II each write four, which is a writing team working in blocks rather than songs picked one at a time. The album charted well and sold nothing anyone published.
New Life came out on RCA in April 2012 and debuted at number four on the Billboard 200 and number two on the R&B chart. None of its singles reached the Hot 100.
