2004 Anita Baker – My Everything

My Everything is the sixth studio album by American singer Anita Baker. It was released by Blue Note Records on September 7, 2004 in the United States. It was Baker’s first album for the label and her first album of new material in ten years. For her comeback album, Baker wanted to be “in control” of everything, and once again teamed up with Barry J. Eastmond and George Duke. Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds also contributed. Baker wrote or co-wrote eight of the album’s ten tracks. The last track, “Men in My Life” was written for her then-husband and two sons.

The album debuted at number four on the US Billboard 200 and reached the top of the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, selling 132,000 copies in its first week. By May 2005, the album had sold 568,000 copies in the US and been certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA)
