Album Notes & Community Reviews
The second studio album by American singer M媒a, 'Fear of Flying' was recorded over six months with a production cast including Rodney Jerkins, Swizz Beatz, Wyclef Jean, Tricky Stewart and Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. A hip hop soul record that moves between confrontational singles such as 'Case of the Ex' and quiet storm ballads, it marks her turn toward a more adult repertoire with a larger writing role, and features guest verses from Jadakiss and Left Eye.
