Heroes and Thieves is the working title of the third album by Vanessa Carlton, to be released by The Inc. Records in spring 2007 (see 2007 in music).[1] It is co-produced by Irv Gotti, 7 Aurelius, Rick Rubin and Third Eye Blind lead singer Stephan Jenkins, who produced Carlton's second album Harmonium (2004), and it includes songwriting contributions from Linda Perry.[2] It is Carlton's first album on The Inc. Records, after Irv Gotti signed her to a record deal there in late 2006, and Gotti has said that Heroes and Thieves is the first album on which he is acting as "co-pilot" rather than "dictator". According to Carlton, the album is "the best patch of songs I've ever written".[3] One confirmed track is "Heroes and Thieves", which Gotti has said "is about how we don't know who comes in our lives, whether they be good or bad."[2]
