I don't let people use me. That's why I like a small number of people in my life. The more people in my life, the more complex it becomes, so I just try to keep it at a minimum.

Only Forever (TBA)
On August 6 2012 Baker announced that her long-waited studio album Only Forever will be released in late 2012 via Blue Note/EMI. Although Only Forever was originally scheduled for release on October 23 2012 the release date was subsequently delayed to December 4. Bruce Lundvall president and CEO of EMI Jazz & Classics signed her after Anita Baker approached him to record for Blue Note.

Anita Baker (born January 26 1958) is an American R&B/soul jazz singer-songwriter.
