Release Therapy is the Grammy Award-winning fifth album from Def Jam recording artist Ludacris. It was released on September 26, 2006.
[edit] BackgroundRelease Therapy won the Best Rap Album award for the 2007 Grammy Awards. Ludacris also shaved his cornrows off for a new "fade" haircut. He said with a new album that was different than his other four albums, there would be a new haircut to go with it, similar to what Busta Rhymes did with The Big Bang. Ludacris released a mixtape called Pre-Release Therapy with DJ Green Lantern to precede the album. [edit] ConceptUnlike the previous albums released by Ludacris, Release Therapy has a more mature and serious approach to the music (e.g the 2nd single Runaway Love is Ludacris's first stab at socially concerned music). It is also Ludacris's darkest album to date, both in mood and subject matter. The different approach Ludacris took with Release Therapy has caused many listeners and fans to debate on whether the album is Ludacris's best or worst. Ludacris also stated that his new album will be somewhat like a tape on CD. "The way we're going to try to format the record is you have your Release side and your Therapy side," he said. "Everybody knows the Release side would be 'War With God,' 'Tell It Like It Is.' I have a record called 'Slap.' Just getting everything off my chest. The Therapy side would be feel-good — a song like 'Woozy' with R. Kelly on it is therapeutic. Even 'Money Maker.' Some women's therapy is getting out, going to the club and shaking they ass. It's therapeutic to them." [edit] SinglesThe first single, "Money Maker", which was produced by and features Pharrell, was released to U.S. radio outlets on July 17, 2006. It was a huge success making number 1 on various charts through the U.S.. These charts included the Billboard Hot 100, the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, Hot Rap Tracks and the Hot 100 Airplay. The second single is "Grew Up a Screw Up", featuring Young Jeezy. The single dispels rumors that Ludacris and Young Jeezy are having beef with each other. The third single is "Runaway Love", featuring Mary J. Blige. It peaked at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100. [edit] Chart performanceThe album debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 album chart selling over 344,000 copies in the first week making it Ludacris' third number one album in a row. As of May 2007, the album has sold over 1.8 million copies in the U.S.[1] To date, the album has sold over 2.2 million copies.[2] [edit] Track listing
