Preceded by the official singles “Breathing,” “You Ain’t The Only One” and “Here I Am,” Gratitude features collaborations with Fabolous, Fat Joe, FERG and Jadakiss.

“There are not enough words that can express my gratitude,” the music icon shared via her social media properties. “Here we Grow again! Gratitude out now!”

The reigning Queen of Hip-Hop Soul will support the album’s release by embarking upon her 27-date North American “For My Fans” tour that commences January 30th in Greensboro and concludes April 14th in Boston.
