Deepwater (album)

Deepwater is the fifth studio album by American singer-songwriter Neriah Fisher. It was released on March 18, 2022, by Republic Records and was the last album under her contract. Preparation for the album began shortly before the release of Rhythm (2021). The record was influenced sonically by artists such as Alessia Cara, Ariana Grande and Lennon Stella while being lyrically influenced by Taylor Swift, who even contributed to the writing of one of the tracks on the album. Fisher co-wrote all fifteen tracks on the album. The majority of the album reflects on Fisher's mental state both before and after her drug overdose.

The album is primarily an R&B/trap record with elements of hip-hop and electropop, while the lyrics depict a woman who is struggling to keep herself afloat as the world around her consistently changes and ends up becoming more grim and disturbing. This is shown differently in each track, with some being about a toxic relationship, aspiring to become a better person, as well as depression and anxiety. The record debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 with first-week earnings of 134,000 units, of which 81,000 were pure album sales. In doing so, it became Fisher's fourth consecutive number-one album, after Rhythm (2021). The album also debuted at number one in Canada, while reaching the top ten in Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Japan and various other countries. The album was since been certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), denoting one million album-equivalent units (including albums sales, streaming and track-equivalent units) sold in the United States, becoming Fisher's sixth consecutive album to do so.
