EXCLUSIVE: Inside Marsha Ambrosius' Release Party For "Late Nights & Early Mornings"

Singer, songwriter, and producer Marsha Ambrosius celebrated the released of her debut album as a solo artist this week in New York City and TheYBF.com was on the scene for the glamorous bash.

Check out what Ms. Ambrosius dished to us about her newest project and how after breakups and makeups in this business, she now feels at home...

Marsha Ambrosius' solo debut, "Late Nights & Early Mornings," was released Tuesday, and as of Thursday, the album was the second-most downloaded album on iTunes having reached No. 1 the day it was released.

The "Far Away" singer spoke exclusively with TheYBF.com backstage after her performance saying:

"This album is my heart poured out for the world to hear. I took a chance on sticking to my guns and remaining true to who I am. And that was as far as how I wanted to present myself, how I wanted to sound, how I wanted to portray "Marsha Ambrosius." And I came into this situation with J Records who is very accepting of singers. And I was like, oh...I have found a home."

The fabulous event, held at the Samsung Experience Space in Time Warner Center, was sponsored by Digiwaxx Media, Hennessy, Samsung, and Centric. Executives from J Records celebrated her long-awaited debut by welcoming her to the stage.

Marsha also mentioned Teena Marie as a source of inspiration saying she was the blueprint for what she hopes to do as a singer and songwriter. Teena, who used to sing Marsha's song "Say Yes" during her live shows, gave the Liverpool-born, Philly-based songstress the stamp of approval as an artist.

When previously asked about the album's title, she said:

"It goes with the lifestyle, it's the grind. It's late nights in the studio, it's early mornings of having to get on the Acela and get up to New York and do interviews. ... Late night, early mornings: it's the life of an artist, but I think everyone can relate to that."

Marsha also announced she will be headlining the BET Music Matters Tour with Melanie Fiona kicking off on March 16 in Dallas, Texas with shows in New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Houston, Sacramento, Cleveland, Chicago, Philadelphia, New York, Baltimore, Atlanta, and Memphis before wrapping up on April 13 in Nashville.

After a glorious reception from her fans, Marsha returned to the stage at the end of the night to do an encore performance of "Butterflies" which had the audience on its feet.
