Fear Of Flying (album)
''Fear of Flying'' is the second studio album by American singer-songwriter Mýa, released on April 25, 2000, by University Music Entertainment and Interscope Records. Following the success of her debut album ''Mýa'' (1998), Interscope promptly allocated Harrison studio time and assembled recording sessions beginning September 1999 which concluded in March 2000. For this record, Mýa made the conscious decision to become involved more creatively, opting to pen her own lyrics after securing a publishing deal to launch her own publishing company as well as collaborate with a wider range of established producers and songwriters on the album. Looking to embrace a more mature sound, Harrison consulted and collaborated with a bevy of producers which included Rodney Jerkins, Swizz Beatz, Wyclef Jean, Knobody, Robin Thicke, Tricky Stewart, and Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis.
