The Truth is the seventh studio and fifth major studio album from American singer Ledisi released on Verve Records of March 11, 2014. The album had no guest appearances.[4]
Background
Ledisi expressed the album was about self-discovery and growth.[1] She told Amazon "With every album I grow, and with The Truth I've gone to a new level. It's an extension of who I am and where I am in my life". She also stated: "There was a time when I felt like I had to please everybody,"..."Now I'm like 'I don't care anymore."[1]
She also did some mediation and exercise during the making of the album saying "I did some mediation and I started working out hard.[1] Not like how I used to where I would do a couple of crunches and then drink a soda! Now I'm really challenging myself."[1] The song "I Blame You" was written by Claude Kelly, Chuck Harmony and Ledisi (herself).[4]
