Released^[1] is the fourth studio solo album released by singer Patti LaBelle. It would turn out to be the final release from LaBelle by Epic Records, who then reassigned her to Philadelphia International the next year. While the disco song, "Release (The Tension)", found modest international success, and its pop ballad, "I Don't Go Shopping", written by famed songwriter Peter Allen, much like the singer's previous albums, the album failed to become a success. LaBelle co-wrote five of the songs with collaborator James Ellison.
