Chain Letter

Chain Letter is the only studio album by American singer Brooke Valentine, released on March 15, 2005, by Subliminal Entertainment, Virgin Records and Capitol Records. Work on the album began after Valentine left the female group Best Kept Secret, in order to pursue a solo career. She moved to Los Angeles, California with producer and Subliminal Entertainment CEO Deja the Great to begin work on the album. Valentine enlisted a variety of producers to work on the album including Bink!, Bloodshy & Avant, Déjà "The Great", Jermaine Dupri, Brandon Howard, Lil Jon and Matt Serletic among others. Musically it is an R&B album, that blends diverse musical genres such as hip hop, crunk, dance-pop, reggae-funk, folk, baroque pop and jungle music. Upon release, the album was met with critical acclaim from music critics who praised the album's production, with other critics comparing the album to the work of film producer Steven Soderbergh. Commercially the album fared well and peaked at 16 on the US Billboard 200 and three on the US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. The album was preceded by the release of the lead single "Girlfight", that features Big Boi from the band Outkast, and Lil Jon.
