Incomparable is the sixth studio album by American recording artist Faith Evans. It was released by the Prolific Music Group on November 24, 2014 in the United States.[1]
Critical reception
Upon release, Incomparable received mixed to positive reviews from music critics. Andy Kellman from Allmusic found that the album "comfortably surpasses everything [Evans] released after 2005's The First Lady" and it offered "a lot to like." He noted however that "the downside to [her] confidence and creative control is that the songs often sound disjointed from one another. These 16 cuts are more like a playlist of mostly good-to-great selections than a focused album."[2]
Chart performance
Incomparable debuted at number 27 on the US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and number 17 on the US Independent Albums chart with first week sales of 3,920 copies.[2] It marked Evans' lowest-selling album since 2005's A Faithful Christmas and became her first non-traditional studio album to miss both the top ten of the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and the upper half of the US Billboard 200.[2]
