THANKS Usually, I’m never at a loss for words. This time I feel somewhat lost. This year… how can I explain it? It has
simultaneously been the best and worst of my life! This year, I know God took me, turned me around and forced me to look
at myself in a mirror of reflection and everything I saw, everything I learned, everything I’ve yearned for and needed has
been placed in these songs. If you’ll notice, I didn’t talk as much on this record as on my previous ones. This is because,
all that needed to be said is already there in every word, in every lyric, in every arrangement, in every melody, in every
silence. Never before have I given my heart more, never before have I needed this music more! This is my sincere thanks
to everyone who helped me through this year. I owe you more than could ever be written down on these pages... GOD-
Thank you for every single thing you have done, every gift you have given, every lesson you have taught. Thank you for
making me strong enough and giving me faith unparalleled. NANA-Nothing! Not space, not time, not earth or heaven, can
keep us apart. You are within me. You have shown me more by your kindness and presence than I could have ever asked
to receive. I will live this life and make you proud, and you will always be with me... Until I see you again. FAFA- I know you
are now complete. I love you! MOMMA-How could I ever have made it without you? You have given me EVERYTHING!!!
With no hesitation. When I never thought I could pull through, it was you! Always you! You fill my spirit, you protect me,
you are my greatest gift. These words mean nothing to what my heart speaks. Thank you, momma, thank you so much.
KRUCIAL-Where do I even start? You are everything to me! Your brilliance dims lights in the room. Through this whole
process, you have encouraged me and supported me like no other and I am better for it. You make me better. You are the
Ashford to my Simpson, the Davis to my Dee, the perfect partner and creative current. I look forward to all the ways you
will continue to be incredible. JEFF- We continue to grow together and it amazes me. As others crumble we only get
stronger. Thank you for encouraging me to get away, because of that I have found myself. Thank you for encouraging me
to search deeper, higher and farther. PETER- To not only one of the greatest A&R’s in history but a friend. Thank you
for enhancing my music, for helping me find the best ways to express myself. CLIVE-Your support of me is unparalleled!
I am SO grateful for your trust and the way you encourage me to fly! ANNTASTIC- And the MVP award goes to… you
have been tremendous! The way that we have been able to explore musical sounds and endless possibilities! You have done a spec-
tacular job engineering and coordinating this album and I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way! Thank you for your loooong hours,
your dedication, your organization, your talent and helping all the sounds in my head become real. LINDA PERRY-The genius
that you are cannot be measured. It is the perfect mixture of heart, spirit and independence. Your world and mine have collided
and now it will never be the same! I’m so proud of what we have done! Thank you for making a vulnerable situation easy and special.
It’s like magic! You are tremendous. Thank you for connecting to my soul. MARK BATSON- My brotha!!!! The only one in the
world that can rock with me from Chopin to GZA. You are a genius! I shout your name everywhere I go! Can’t wait to do it again!

it again! JOHN MAYER- Truly one of the most gifted, soulful, inspirational people on the planet. The way we connect is magic!
Thank you for your spirit. SWIZZ-A brotha even more talented than the world already knows. Show ‘em wuz up! We had a ball!
DIRTY HARRY- You have a monster ear! And this is just the beginning of great things for you. Nothing can stop you. Let’s keep
it rockin’ MANNY MARROQUIN- COME ON, MAN!! There is no one like you! Thank you for loving this as much as me and for
helping to make it what it is! DAVE KUTCH- For those long hours and true dedication! | To all the musicians and writers on this
album, it wouldn’t be the same without you: HAROLD LILLY- You are gifted like no other! Thank you for always tuning in
and helping me to find the best words from the heart. L.GREEN-�My friend, my brotha! Shine that light! NOVEL STEVENSON-
