"The First Lady" is the fourth studio album by Faith Evans, released in 2005. The album marked her first release on Capitol Records after parting ways with Bad Boy.
- The album debuted at number 45 on the Billboard 200 chart. It also reached number 11 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. The lead single, "Again," became one of Evans's highest-charting singles of her career.
- Executive produced by Faith Evans herself, the album featured production from prominent hitmakers like Mario Winans, The Neptunes, and Jermaine Dupri. Despite a strong reception from critics, the album did not achieve the commercial success of her earlier work.
- The album's release was preceded by a period of personal and professional transition for Evans, including her divorce from Todd Russaw and her departure from Bad Boy Records. She would later found her own label, Prolific Music Group, in 2006.
Faith Evans is a Brooklyn-born R&B singer, widely known as the First Lady of Bad Boy Records. She was the only woman to sign with the label during its initial years.
