Love Elevation Suite is the third EP by American recording artist Mýa. It is her second Valentine's Day EP, it marks Harrison's sixth independently released project through her own label imprint Planet 9 via INgrooves and released on February 14, 2015 worldwide via iTunes. The five track EP commemorates the release of her debut single "It's All About Me" and 17th anniversary in the entertainment industry.

Background

Prior to Mýa recording and releasing her first independent album overseas, she released three successful studio albums in the United States; Mýa (1998), Fear of Flying (2000) and Moodring (2003). In 1998, Mýa's debut self-titled album peaked at No. 13 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. Fear of Flying (2000) fared even better at No. 7, with the single "Case of the Ex" reaching No. 2 on the Hot 100 chart. In 2002, she took home a Grammy for "Lady Marmalade", her massive No. 1 single with P!nk, Christina Aguilera, Lil' Kim, and Missy Elliott. A role in the hit film Chicago and other acting opportunities followed. After she released Moodring in 2003, with the exception of a popular stint on Dancing with the Stars in 2009 (she finished second), it seemed as if Mýa had left the entertainment industry.^[3]

In 2004, after the Moodring album, she ended up in a year-long litigation with management. In late 2005, Harrison made a transition within the Universal system from Interscope to Universal Motown. In 2007, her fourth studio album Liberation, was accidentally released in Japan when the release date changed. At the time, she was with Motown/Universal; her lawyer advised that she not waste time and money taking the issue to court, so Harrison decided to go independent instead. Japan loved the Liberation album so much, that a company by the named Manhattan Recordings located there approached her about doing business with them. Harrison released her first independent project, titled Sugar & Spice, in Japan in 2008, a year after her split with Motown.^[4]

Love Elevation Suite is Harrison's third extended play and sixth independently self-funded project. It is the follow-up to her fifth independently released project, Sweet XVI (2014). The EP served as Harrison's fourth U.S. release since her departure from record label Interscope in 2005.

Planet 9

In 2008, Harrison created her own label imprint, Planet 9. Since parting ways with Universal Motown, Harrison has released four independently self-funded, self-executive produced projects Sugar & Spice (2008), Beauty & the Streets Vol. 1 (2010) and K.I.S.S. (2011). In 2009, Harrison spoke with Rolling Out magazine, elaborating more on her hiatus from music and decision to go independent:

"I've never stopped doing music. I've created a label called Planet 9 and I released an album in Japan. I invested in my own studio and it cut the recording cost down 95 percent. I have my own in-house producers and they are not as expensive as an established producer. The return is greater and now I own my masters. I see six dollars per album sold versus 10 cents. You may not sell as many units because you don't put as much money in promotions, but the returns are better."^[5]

Later in the interview, Harrison voiced her opinion on the major difference between major record labels and independent labels, saying, "Major labels have a system that you have to go through. The people in power dictate how things should sound and where the money is spent. But when you become your own boss, you check every line item and you have to be cautious."^[5]
