Amerie has released a brand new single, “Mine”, her first independent release in seven years.
“Mine” is produced by Grammy-winning producer, Troy Taylor. The track features bassline thumps while Amerie sings softly in a high register. “Don’t want no one else/I’ll make you mine/cause it’s only you,” she melodically chants on the chorus. “Mine” is expected to be a single from the singer’s forthcoming sixth studio album.
As YouKnowIGotSoul reports, Amerie shared, “I wanted the album to soundtrack a great love. I wanted the album to feel like what it is to be in love or make a person who isn’t want to be fully and completely in love”
The Grammy-nominated singer took a break from music to focus on her family and love for reading. She became a best-selling author with her debut picture book, You Will Do Great Things. In 2019, she founded her own book club and has released two her own books.
“Mine” is the second teaser produced by Troy Taylor. Last fall, Amerie teased her single “Undeniable.” Another tune dedicated to being in love and the joy that comes with it.
“We just wrote it and just recorded it,” she explained, describing the song as a fresh and exciting start with longtime collaborator, producer Troy Taylor. Fans immediately flooded her post with comments of support, eager for more. “I haven’t anticipated a return like this in forever!” one fan wrote. Another enthusiastically commented, “Amerieeee sunshine, we need this and everything you and Troy Taylor are working on!”
Taylor has previously produced for Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, BoyzII Men, Trey Songz, Tyrese, among others.
