Where this album fits

Career context
The Remedy marked Jagged Edge's return after a four-year hiatus since their last studio album, 2006's Jagged Edge. This release was seen as an effort to reconnect with fans and reclaim their place in the R&B genre during a time when they were facing stiff competition from newer artists.
