The Scarlet Letter (stylized The SCARlet Letter) is the fifth studio album by American recording artist Lil' Mo. It was first released on October 27, 2014 by Penalty Entertainment. Its first and only single, "Should've Never Let You Go" preceded its release on September 23, 2014.[1]
Background[edit]
In 2013, Mo became a cast member of TV One reality show R&B Divas: Los Angeles alongside Chanté Moore, Kelly Price, Claudette Ortiz (of City High), Michel'le and Dawn Robinson.[2] The series premiered in July 2013. The premiere of a reunion special to R&B Divas: LA built on TV One's historic summer ratings success, attaining a total of 834,000 viewers. Additionally, the special's ratings tied with the debut of the original sitcom The Rickey Smiley Show as the network's No. 1 telecast among adults 25–54 in TV One history.[3]
On September 10, 2013, Lil' Mo released the song "I'm a Diva" via iTunes.[4] Another song titled "L's Up" was released the following week.[5] In April 2014, as part of preparation for her fifth album, The Scarlet Letter,[6] Lil' Mo released her second mixtape No Shit Sherlock, which featured contributions by Da Brat and songwriter Tiyon "TC" Mack.[7] On August 20, Lil' Mo announced via Twitter that The SCARlet Letter would be released on October 28, 2014.[8]
