"The Dana Owens Album" is the first all-singing album (sixth overall) by American singer Queen Latifah, released on September 28 2004 (see 2004 in music) in the United States on Interscope Records. Unlike Latifah's previous hip hop/R&B-oriented efforts, this album showcases a jazz vocal performance. Even though Latifah has sung songs and choruses during her rap career, she has never put out a full singing album before. The album's title—Latifah's real name—indicates the different style of music contained on the album. It is her best-selling album to date, becoming her first album to surpass sales of half a million copies. Moreover, the album was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Jazz Vocal Album in 2005.
