‘You Bring Me Joy’ is exactly what Anita Baker lovers will be singing once they get a load of the diva’s latest announcement.
As we reported here, fans of the Queen of Quiet Storm were royally let down when she took to Twitter in March to ask that everyone stop streaming her music as she fought her label for ownership of her music. As the story made its rounds, even some of her industry peers – including Taylor Swift (who is fighting a similar battle) – chimed in with shows of support.
Fast forward six months later, Baker, after some behind the scenes negotiations and legal proceedings, has not only taken to social media to report she is the owner of her prized catalog but that she may be set to add some new titles to her discography.
More inside:
Taking to Twitter Friday (September 3), Anita announced:
Naturally, the tease of new music sent her diehard fans into a frenzy. But, for those who were still a bit unclear of what the announcement meant, Baker spelled it out.
Congratulations Ms. Baker!

Your thoughts?
Yesss Anita!!! Now I can go back to listening to her while I clean on Saturday’s
NOW FREE BRITNEY AND GIVE HER ALL OF HER MASTERS AND HER LIFE BACK!
You f****** LOSER 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Flop
Yaaaaaaaas!
Good for her! She has so many hits and she deserves to own the rights to them, as every artist does. Maybe some day artists won’t have to fight so hard for what is rightfully theirs.
This bish didn’t have to fight so hard as no one else wanted them 💯
Congratulations 👏👏👏🎊👏
💓EXCELLENT💓 Patiently Waiting for New Music👍🏽
