Data Insight
Sixteen tracks, all of them hers, and Lamar Edwards writes on every single one. Michael Cox and John Groover take seven each. She produces 15 of the 16. Nine albums in, the credit list has flipped end for end from the record she made in 1998.
Retrospect came out on Planet 9 and Virgin in May 2026, her ninth studio album and her first in eight years. She has said the gap came down to the difficulties of working as an independent artist.
