background
In September 2008, in an interview with Pete Lewis from Blues & Soul , Sullivan explained the reason for the title of the album Fearless , which means fearless in German: “ I called the album“ Fearless ”because I'm simply not afraid of anything at the moment . I am young, only 22 years old ... and I just think that if you just take your own uniqueness to heart and have no fear and risk being different, everyone else will do it too! ".
success
Fearless debuted at number 6 on the US album charts with 65,000 units sold in the first week. The album fell to number ten in the second week of the chart, in which it sold 42,000 more copies.

In 2009 the album received five Grammy Award nominations: Best Female Vocal Performance in R&B ("Need U Bad"), Best Vocal Performance in Traditional R&B ("I'm in Love with Another Man"), Best R&B Song ("Bust Your Windows") and Best Contemporary R&B Album.
