  • She also released a 'Courtroom Edition' of her album featuring covers inspired by her recent legal case, which was exonerated due to lack of evidence after allegations of assault in 2018.

  • This grassroots promotion is part of a playful campaign leading up to the album's release on September 19, 2025, her first in seven years since her Grammy-winning debut 'Invasion of Privacy'.
