Soul of a Woman is the debut studio album by American singer Kelly Price. It was released by T-Neck Records and Island Records on August 11, 1998, in the United States. Originally a backing vocalist, Price rejected offers from Mariah Carey's Crave Records and Sean "Puffy" Combs' Bad Boy Records, before signing with the Isley Brothers' T-Neck label. While she co-wrote and produced most of the material on Soul of a Woman, Prince also worked with Anthony Dent and Jermaine Dupri, among others.
The album earned generally positive reviews from music critics. It debuted and peaked at number 15 on the US Billboard 200 and reached number two on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, eventually reaching Platinum status in the United States. Soul of a Woman's most popular song was lead single "Friend of Mine," which became a number-one hit on the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and became a top five hit on the UK R&B Singles chart. The album would remain her only release with T-Neck.
