Mýa by Mýa

Mýa is the debut studio album by American singer Mýa. It was released by University Music Entertainment and Interscope Records on April 21, 1998 in the United States. Recording of the contemporary R&B album was overseen by University Records CEO Haaq Islam after he signed the singer when she was at the age of 15. Production on Mýa was primarily handled by Swing Mob member Darryl "Day" Pearson with additional contributions from Daryl Simmons, Alex "Cat" Cantrall, Joey Priolo, and Nokio the N-Tity. Guest appearances include Dru Hill frontman Sisqó, No Limit rapper Silkk the Shocker, and musicians Missy Elliott. The album received generally favorable reviews from music critics, who complimented Mýa's vocals and songwriting abilities, as well as the album's well-crafted appeal. Mýa peaked at number 29 on the US Billboard 200 and was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), selling over 1.4 million copies in the United States. The album spawned three singles; "It's All About Me" (featuring Sisqó), "Movin' On" (featuring Silkk the Shocker), and the Diane Warren/Babyface-penned ballad "My First Night with You". In the midst of the album's success, Mýa earned several accolades, including a NAACP Image Award nomination and two Soul Train Music Award nominations.
