Conception and production

Intermitted by several recording pauses, the singer had been engaged on her fourth studio album on and off since 2004. Originally conceived as a challenge called Control Freak, her first launch with the A&M Information label, the album’s first version was really introduced for a summer season 2005 release, involving primary manufacturing by Scott Storch, Dr. Dre, Jodeci, Lil Jon, Rockwilder and songwriter Sean Garrett. Mýa who took control of the album in her personal arms by producing part of the document herself, described the album as “a combination of a Gwen Stefani, because it’s energetic, and Lil Jon, very ghetto,” with a much less basic R&B edge, exlaining further: “Management Freak is mainly learning methods to acquire control of a state of affairs yourself, gaining control as a way to be [a] free and beautiful person in life.” Nonetheless, although she meant to release a dance observe known as “Let It Go” at a particular time, she finally determined to go away each her management and A&M Data in fall 2005 as a consequence of private differences, earlier than signing a brand new contract with Motown Records.

During the next months Mýa began consulting just a few other producers to collaborate on the album, renamed Liberation, including Tim & Bob, Bryan Michael Cox, Kwamé, J. R. Rotem and Tricky Stewart. In search of a new vibe for the album, she drew inspiration by leaving Los Angeles, California and transferring again to Washington, D.C., where she spent her formative years. “I simply knew that I needed to get again to my roots and rediscover what had made me excited in the first place,” she mentioned in an interview with Billboard magazine. “I have all this artistic energy and all these ideas however LA it was too impersonal of a spot to develop a real artistic family.” Again residence, Mýa purchased a house and enlisted her brother to build a recording studio, where she began experimenting, laying down rudimentary tracks and studying tips on how to engineer. Pushed by her newfound abilities in mixing and production, Mýa as soon as once more intensified work on the re-worked Control Freak album, with most of it will definitely being accomplished in a stretch of solely three month. “It was an easy process as a result of I knew what I wished to do after I went in,” she commented, comparing the making of the album with a therapy. “I have been sincere with myself and have been in a position to admit some things and analyze myself and save myself at the finish of the day [...] Liberation is a clean slate; my most expressive, vulnerable album.” Reviewed by a number of American critics only, Liberation garnered a typically mixed reception. Dorian Lynskey of Blender magazine gave the album [two] and a half stars out of five, stating: “A decade into her career, [two] songs raise the 27-12 months-previous’s game – the insidious snake-charmer melody of “‘Walka Not a Talka’ and the bracing blast of betrayed-housewife rage of ‘All within the Identify of Love.’ Elsewhere, boilerplate gradual jams and generic sass paint Mya, her claims to the contrary, as a talka not a walka.”
