Data Insight
Her name is on all 13 tracks, the first time that happens. She writes the intro alone and shares everything else. The production is all outside hires, Scott Storch and J. R. Rotem and Bryan Michael Cox among them, and she takes no production credit at all, which makes this the odd record in the run: fully hers on paper, someone else's in the studio.
Liberation came out on Universal Motown in October 2007. The label gave it a limited release and Mýa left the following year. "Ridin'" reached number 58 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.
