The Songstress is the debut solo album by the American R&B/soul singer Anita Baker. It was originally released in 1983 by Beverly Glen Music, and was Baker's only album for that label prior to signing with Elektra Records with whom she had a string of hit albums. The Songstress was not a commercial success upon its initial release, though the album met with moderate success on the R&B charts. Notorious drug trafficker 'Freeway' Rick Ross helped provide the money for the album. [4]

Between 1992-2007, the album sold 307,000 copies in the US according to SoundScan figures.
Reception[edit]
'No More Tears' peaked at number 49 on Billboard's Hot Black Singles chart, becoming Baker's first entry on the Billboard's singles chart;[5] 'Angel,' number five on the same chart;[6] 'You're the Best Thing Yet,' number 28.[6]
Alex Henderson of AllMusic rated the album three and a half stars, praising her ballads and 'slow jams' (such as 'No More Tears', 'Angel', and 'You're the Best Thing Yet'), calling them 'honest [and] heartfelt', along with faster material such as 'Squeeze Me' (which he referred to as 'a sweaty taste of gospel-drenched funk.[7]
