High Priority is the second album by R&B singer Cherrelle. It reached #9 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop albums chart and #36 on the Billboard Top 200. It generated Cherrelle's biggest pop hit with her duet with Alexander O'Neal, Saturday Love which peaked at #26 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Background

After the success of her debut album, Fragile, Cherrelle returned to the studio to record her second album. She would work predominantly with Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis on this project, and would herself co-write and co-produce the track: Where Do I Run To.
