Mya

Myá has been working on her fourth studio album on and off since 2004. Originally conceived as a project called Control Freak, the album's first version was scheduled for a summer 2005 release and involved main production by Scott Storch, Dr. Dre, Lil Jon, Rockwilder and songwriter Sean Garrett. Although she intended to release a dance track called "Let It Go" at a particular time, the singer eventually decided to leave A&M Records in fall 2005 before signing a new contract with Motown Records. Mýa began consulting a few other producers to collaborate on the album, renamed Liberation, including Bryan Michael Cox, Tim & Bob, Jonathan "J.R." Rotem and Tricky Stewart. In mid-2006, however, a buzz single entitled "Ayo" was leaked onto the internet but due time-consuming "litigations, court, transitioning from label to label, teaching kids and building a studio" Liberation has been bumped from the schedule numerous times. On March 5, 2007 the album's first single "Lock U Down," a Storch-produced collaboration with Lil Wayne, was sent to radio. The album is currently scheduled for a September 18, 2007 release in the United States.
