Data Insight

Nine of the 14 tracks carry her name, the lowest share since Fear of Flying and the only dip in an otherwise straight climb. Five songs are outside submissions, from Atozzio Towns, Tiwa Savage, Kristal Oliver and others. Lil Eddie writes on four. The record leans pop and electro rather than R&B, and the writing room widens to match.

K.I.S.S. (Keep It Sexy & Simple) came out in April 2011 on Manhattan and Planet 9 and reached number 74 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.
