R&B songstress Mya will be releasing her fourth album “Liberation” in June.

The album will mark Mya’s Universial/Motown recording debut and the Grammy Award winning, multi-platinum artist has tried hard to diversify her sound:

“I’m putting my real experiences out there. On my first album I didn’t know about love; I didn’t even have a boy friend! Now what I’m bringing is definitely more realistic,” Mya says.

The Scott Storch produced, Lil Wayne featured “Lock U Down” is the album first single:

“There’s definitely a harder edge this time. The lyrics are less passive and more straight-to-the point. ” Equally honest is “I Am” produced by Kwame. “That was one of the first songs we recorded, it’s kind of therapy. If there’s a theme on the album it’s self- confidence that comes from my own personal experiences.”

Mya’s gone through a lot professionally in recent years. The “All About Me” singer took a clue from one of her hit song titles and decided to start “Movin On” back to DC:

“I just knew that I had to get back to my roots and rediscover what had made me excited in the first place. I have all this creative energy and all these ideas but LA it was too impersonal of a place to develop a real creative family. So I thought, ‘let me go back to DC; get creative and do what I love to do.’”
