Bravebird is the second studio album by American R&B-soul singer-songwriter Amel Larrieux, released in the United States on January 20, 2004, by her independent label Blisslife Records. The album features the single "For Real", which reached number forty-five on BillboardTemplate:'s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, becoming Larrieux's second highest-charting solo single on the chart after 1999's "Get Up".
Album information
On the significance of the album title and song "Bravebird", Larrieux told Barnes & Noble:
"I read a story in a magazine [about a survivor of female genital mutilation] and wrote about it. I guess it was a gift to her to extol her bravery. [The album title] became appropriate also because true supporters of my music found ways to hear the song before it got on the album. It had been floating around to DJs two years ago. And I do shows and perform the song, so everybody knew it. So I started referring to [my fans] as brave birds when I write messages to them on my web site." It is likely she was referring to Waris Dirie who is the author of Desert Flower.[6]
