Stronger Everyday is the fourth studio album by American singer Jon B. It was released October 5, 2004 on Sanctuary Records.[1] The album spawned the singles "Everytime" and "Lately".

Background

[edit]

After recording three albums for Epic Records, Jon B. felt he was being underpromoted. Stronger Everyday was originally recorded under DreamWorks Records under the working title Everyday Struggles,[2] but the label folded in early 2004 before Jon got to release any material.[3] In 2004, he was signed to Sanctuary by Destiny's Child manager Mathew Knowles who was just hired as the president of urban music at the primarily rock oriented label.[4]

AllMusic[5]

AllMusic found that Stronger Everyday "finds a sweet soul groove and hangs in there for five alluringly sensual tracks before switching into a hip-hop-inspired style, and these tracks include guest shots from Scarface and Tupac [...] Whether he's gliding along a mellow tune or working an up-tempo beat, Jon B. presents some of his finest songs on Stronger Everyday."[5]
