Mista is the self-titled debut album by Atlanta based R&B youth quartet, Mista, released on July 30, 1996 via Elektra Entertainment Group. Produced entirely by super-producers Organized Noize (TLC’s "Waterfalls"), Mista was fueled by the release of the album's first single "Blackberry Molasses". According to Organized Noize producer Rico Wade:
| “ |
It’s innovative [Blackberry Molasses]. It starts out with almost a medieval feel. It’s one of the most visual songs on the album with strong harmonies and a great melody.[2] |
” |
"Blackberry Molasses" peaked at No. 13 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. The album's second single, "Lady" performed less well, peaking at number 61 in December 1996.[3] Despite the success of "Blackberry Molasses", Mista peaked at No. 37 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums[4] and has sold just over 100,000 copies since its 1996 release.[3]
