Nicole Renée is the only studio album by American singer and songwriter Nicole Renée. It was released on September 15, 1998, via Atlantic Records. The recording sessions took place at Right Track Recording in New York City, except for the song "How Many Times", which was recorded at Chartmaker Studios in Malibu and the Record Plant. The production was primarily handled by Renée herself, who also served as executive producer together with Craig Kallman, as well as Arif Mardin, Colin Wolfe, David Foster and Joe Mardin. The album spawned three singles: " Strawberry", "Telephone" and "Ain't Nothin' Changed".
The album failed to chart, however, its lead single "Strawberry" peaked at No. 83 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 41 on the Hot R&B in the United States, No. 55 on the UK singles chart, No. 14 on the Official Dance Singles Chart and No. 7 on the Official Hip Hop and R&B Singles Chart in the United Kingdom, and No. 13 in New Zealand.

The Fort Worth Star-Telegram noted that the album "combines spirituality with sexuality, and the music is as indescribable as anything Prince has done, crisscrossing every genre from R&B to rock." [4]
