My husband is very supportive and is there for the kids, especially when I'm in projects such as The Color Purple.

Some of the songs have a tinge more pop this time. I wanted to go into different worlds.

My husband knows the meaning of sacrifice and support and he doesn't have a problem reminding me when I fall short. He will explain to me how and why this would jeopardize or compromise our relationship.

I like to think about the quality, content, and concept for my music because I think these are the most important things and it just molds everything together.

After I had my youngest son,I took time for him and just spent more time with my family. But, I know it's time to get back to work. I am working on new music.

Whitney Houston, one of my biggest inspirations, also had that same mindset because her songs vary from R&B, hip hop, pop, and gospel.

I just have to give credit when it's due because there are some things that took place in my life that I couldn't explain at all.
