Friendshipbracelet (Lou-Rah Album)

Friendshipbracelet is the fourth studio album created by Canadian singer-songwriter/ producer, Lou-Rah. The album was written and produced with many collaborators and Lou-Rah all welcomed them into the studio. Lou-Rah's album name was to solidify the audience and listeners from her to say, "Are we still friends!? Cuz' I made a friendshipbracelet for you and me, I quitted the things you and I weren't satisfied." This was said to make everyone regain her friendship with the world and God, after quitting her drugs in 2003 and drinking in 1999. Her performance at the CMa's in 2003 got her her first favourite album of the year.

Lou-Rag was much interested to do R&B/Hip-Hop music, unlike her last one featuring low amounts (1-3) of Hip-Hop/R&B. Techno and Euro techno was suppose to be implied to the album, but Lou-Rah wanted to focus anew direction into her music. However, Lou-Rah was much interested into working with Mariah Carey after her album 'Charmbracelet' which Friendshipbracelet was inspired by, but not the Hip-Hop/R&B. Soon, Lou-Rah was willing to work with others who had not experience R&B but Hip-Hop or vice-versa.

The album was a critical success in the world and featured 2 number ones. Critics preferred Friendshipbracelet over Charmbracelet, because of the R&B style/Hip-Hop style. Notifying to worth it, Lou-Rah was not impressed with what the critics said which in rebuke, Lou-Rah said, "I think both albums are good, but it's not worthy to choose which style is better. Me and Carey have ZERO feud to each of our music, questionably favourable to both of them."

The album did reach number one on the charts in Canada but three in the USA. The album sold x1 Diamond in Canada, x9 Platinum in the USA, x 2 Diamond in Europe (entirely), x2 Million in Japan. It was the best critical success in Canada since Celine Dion's album, 'Let's Talk About Love' which was highest #1 in Canada in '97.
