Amerie where have you been? The songstress has been off the music scene for sometime, with her last album releasing back in 2009. However, this morning she stopped by the worlds most dangerous morning show to let her fans know what shes been up to lately.
The 1 Thing singer is still making music with her new EP Drive releasing tomorrow, with hopes to release another in July. However, shes been under the radar expanding her horizons into other things, such as books and film.
She talked about her YouTube channel, which is mainly dedicated to her love for books. Nonetheless, writing has never stopped, whether its music or her sci-fi trilogy that shes currently working on.
When it comes to what happened to her music career and why shes had a hiatus, she let it be known that marrying her manager Lenny Nicholson had nothing to do with it. In fact, her husband has been a great aspect to her music career.
After moving from Sony to Def Jam she realized that she wasnt happy. The time it took for the labels to release her music she had been in a different space. Therefore, shes more comfortable in the position shes currently in.
If anyone has ever questioned her about being relevant in the media she admits to not being attracted to the glitz and glamour or popping up on every red carpet. But those publishing checks are definitely doing it’s job to keep her afloat.
