News that undoubtedly had many scratching their heads last week were reports 2000’s R&B singer Amerie was trending on Twitter for her signature hit, ‘1 Thing,’ being included on the list of the 2010s’ best songs. Its mention on the tally was all the more confusing as it was actually released in 2005.
Despite the mix-up, the Grammy nominee – currently blazing stages across America on the ‘Femme It Forward’ tour (alongside Brandy, Monica, Ashanti, and many more) – is soaking up the attention and took to social media before the new year to not only express her appreciation but also tease forthcoming 2020 projects.
In addition to announcing work on a new studio album, her first since 2009’s ‘In Love & War,’ the 39-year-old revealed she’s toying around with the idea of going on an ‘anniversary tour’ to celebrate the release of her debut effort, 2002’s ‘All I Have,’ as it approaches its 20th birthday.

*****
While Amerie hasn’t released a studio effort since 2009’s critically-acclaimed ‘War’ (featuring the moderate R&B hits ‘Why R U’ and ‘Heard ‘Em All’), she’s tided fans over since with multiple EPs over the last decade.
About to snatch beyonce’s weave.
She shouldn’t have married her manager.
She should have married an athlete or a rapper like kanye or lil wayne. She wont be a has been today if she did this.
Amerie has released at least 3 albums since Love & War…..
DEF DID. DRIVE, 4AM MULHOLLAND, AFTER 4AM. THIS SITE KILLS ME.
i wish you kids knew how to read. Amerie has not released a STUDIO ALBUM since 2009. every project she released in the 2010s was an EP…not a studio album
sigh. help these kids Lord
Well aware of the difference and 4 AM Mullholland is not an extended play.
Yes it was
It WAS a double ep with after 4am
Amerie herself states that it’s a single album with two different vibes, thus the simultaneous release of both sides.
Hope she can get with Rich Harrison or a more contemporary producer that can give her that vibe…
i love how she loves to push herself creatively each time https://youtu.be/TzyYbtwtKgc
I hope this means a collaboration with the producer Rich Harrison again. They are musical soulmates! Their music together is outta this world
Why are our black women constantly bleaching their skin? Natural blackness is beautiful. Come on !
She is half black, half Japanese- this her light skin…. Shes a light skinned, mixed girl.
Amerie is my gurl. She had so much potential to be a huge star, much talent yet to explored… however this music industry did her wrong….
Awesome
