Quotes
This album is more mature. I’ve been through different things. ups and downs. That’s why I named the album At That Point. I finally feel that I’m ready to return. I’m comfortable with myself. I don’t have any questions about any of the songs on this album. The last album was put together by Def Jam. I didn’t really have much say, though I loved the album. This album is all me. The last album was my child, but an adopted child. This album is my birth-child.
I was released from Def Jam on the day of my prom. I was a young girl. Confused, I didn’t know what to do next. My mom and I weren’t really talking anymore. I was down for a minute. I went to my grandmother’s house in Detroit. I had to start all over from square one. I knew I wanted to sing, but I didn’t want to deal with business anymore. I just had to pray on it so I could come back into the recording business as an adult. I thought I knew it all, but I didn’t know anything.
Of course, it was out of his hands. It wasn’t in anyone’s hands but the Lord’s. That’s how I looked at it. If he could have made me successful, he would have. Of course, he wants to win at everything he touches. I realize that it just wasn’t my time. I needed what happened to grow up, so I’m happy for it.
I feel great to know that some people still remember me. Some don’t, and that’s good because it gives me a clean slate. It gives me room to prove myself. I’m feeling awesome now. I’m in a good place. I’m getting a good response.
