Life on Earth is the seventh studio album by American R&B singer-songwriter Musiq Soulchild. It was released on April 15, 2016, by eOne Music. It is the first album to be released on an independent label, after previously recording several albums on Def Jam Recordings and Atlantic Records. The album entered the US Billboard 200 at number 27.

Background

After finishing out his contract with Atlantic Records for the release of his 2011's album MusiqInTheMagiq, Musiq signed with Warryn Campbell's record label My Block Records.^[3] However, in June 2014, he emerged as a rapper under the pseudonym The Husel.^[4] At the time, he planned to release an album under the name, with guest appearances from Pastor Troy, T-Pain, Bone Crusher and Cash Out, among others. He later released the project as a free EP with five songs.^[5] The move caused Musiq to receive heavy amounts of criticism on Twitter.^[6] During the backlash, he defended his career change, saying it was primarily due to the change in the music landscape where R&B music's popularity has waned.^[7]^[8]
