Raven-Symoné discography

The following is a discography for the American singer-songwriter Raven-Symoné. Raven began her career on The Cosby Show, and following the series' finale she signed a record deal with MCA Records at the age of seven. In 1993 she released her debut album Here's to New Dreams, which was preceded by her debut single "That's What Little Girls Are Made Of". The single charted at No. 68 on the US Billboard Hot 100. The album also produced the single "Raven Is the Flavour"; however, the album failed to chart and led to Raven being dropped from MCA. In 1996, Raven-Symoné and her father founded RayBlaze Records, in which she signed a distribution deal with Crash Records for her second album Undeniable, which was released in May 1999. The album sold over 2,000 in US.[1]The album yielded one single: a cover of Stevie Wonder's "With a Child's Heart". To support the album Undeniable, she went on tour as the opening act for fellow Jive artist 'N Sync's The 'N Sync Tour in 1998/1999.[2]
In 2003, Raven-Symoné starred in the Disney Channel Original Movie The Cheetah Girls, and the film's soundtrack The Cheetah Girls debuted at No. 33 on the US Billboard 200. The album was eventually certified double platinum by the RIAA for sales of over two million copies. In 2003, the first season of Disney Channel Original Series That's So Raven premiered, and the series' soundtrackwas released on May 18, 2004. It was later certified Gold by the RIAA for sales of 500,000 copies. Raven-Symoné signed a two-album record deal with Disney-owned label Hollywood Records and her third album This Is My Time was released on September 21, 2004, and charted at No. 51 on the Billboard 200. The album produced singles "Grazing in the Grass" and "Backflip".
In 2006 Raven reprised her role as Gabriella in The Cheetah Girls 2, and the soundtrack album The Cheetah Girls 2 was released the same year. The album charted at No. 5 in the United States and was certified platinum by the RIAA for sales of over one million copies. The second soundtrack of That's So Raven, That's So Raven Too was also released the same year, and produced the single "Some Call It Magic". Symoné released her fourth studio album Raven-Symonéon April 29, 2008. The album charted at No. 159 on the Billboard 200, and was preceded by the lead single, a cover of Frankie Smith's "Double Dutch Bus". On July 28, 2008, it was reported Raven-Symoné had officially been dropped by Hollywood Records due to low album sales and her tour struggling to sell tickets.[3] A month later, Symoné expressed an interest in recording an album independently, as she did with her second album Undeniable, citing R&B as her musical direction: "I did it on my second album [1999's "Undeniable"] and like it," she told Billboard.com. "When you're an independent you really do get full control. You get to do it how you want to do it and promote it how I want to promote it and sell it how I want to sell it.".[4]
In late 2009, Raven-Symoné announced that she would return to the studio to record her fifth album.[5] She said that the album would be "R&B, most definitely.....with an alternative base for the lyrics". She said, "It's good to go out there and spread your wings and find new talent and work with people you haven't worked with before. I'd love to find the next Timbaland or the next someone who's coming up and no one really knows yet. At the same time, I'd love to work with the Clutch and the J.A.M. again".[6] In January 2011, she told OnTheRedCarpet.com that she had been working on her fifth album.[7] Da Beat Kadetz formerly known as The TriGz may be working on the project,[8] with Manny Streetz (from Da Beat Kadetz) as executive producer.[9] Raven-Symoné revealed to Billboard that she would like to work with Sean Garrett again and that it will be R&B with an "alternative base for lyrics".[10] In an interview with Broadway.com in March 2012, she confirmed that she has no plans to release a new album, saying that she "couldn't quite get it together" and that the music she had been working on "wasn't going to be something sellable."[11] She added that the album "might come later in life when I'm able to say what I need to say."[11] In September 2014, Raven-Symoné announced via Facebook she had been considering making a return to music, and told fans to expect new releases in the near future.
