K.I.S.S.: Keep It Sexy & Simple by Mýa

K.I.S.S. (abbreviation of Keep It Sexy & Simple) is the sixth studio album by American recording artist Mýa. First released in Japan on April 20, 2011, it is her second studio album to be produced through Japanese record company Manhattan Recordings and her own label Planet 9. Although the record is a traditional R&B and pop album, Mýa was heavily—influenced by Japan's culture and experimented with J-pop sound to embrace a more worldwide appeal to attract the Japanese music market audience. Production on K.I.S.S. was primarily handled by Cleveland native producer Young Yonny with additional contributions from Japanese musicians Jeff Miyahara and Daisuke Imai, Chuck Harmony and longtime collaborators Carvin & Ivan. As with her previous independent projects, Mýa took full creative control of the album and lent a hand in the songwriting process, co-writing several of the album's tracks with many different artists and songwriters. In addition, she served as executive producer to the project. Guest features included Miami rapper Trina, international recording artist Iyaz, reggae star Sean Paul and former Immature frontman Marques Houston.Upon its release, K.I.S.S. debuted at number sixty-one on Billboard's Japan Albums Chart on May 2, 2011, with first week sales of 1,543 copies, and at number seventy-four on the US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, ending Mýa's nine-year absence from the chart. K.I.S.S. spawned seven singles; two international singles, "Fabulous Life" and "Runnin' Back" featuring recording artist Iyaz, and five US–released singles: "Earthquake", "Somebody Come Get This Bitch", "Mr. Incredible", "Mess Up My Hair", and "Evolve".
