The Life (album)

The Life is the third studio album from American R&B singer Ginuwine. It was released by Epic Records on April 3, 2001 in the United States. Produced by a variety of collaborators, including Khris Kellow, Troy Oliver, Cory Rooney, Raphael Saadiq, Dan Shea, and Ric Wake, the album marked a breakaway for the singer whose previous two albums Ginuwine... the Bachelor (1996) and 100% Ginuwine (1999) had been largely produced by Timbaland, who contribued one song, "That's How I Get Down," to The Life only.

The album earned generally positive reviews from music critics, some of whom felt that Timbaland was missing on the album. It debuted at number three on the US Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 152,000 copies. It was eventually certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RAA) and surpassed sales of 1.38 million copies in September 2003. The Life produced four singles, including the Gold-certified Billboard Hot 100 top five hit single "Differences."
