Pink Thunder (Ms. Lee album)

Pink Thunder is the ninth studio album by American rapper Ms. Lee. It was released on June 16, 2009, by Jive and 1 Records. The album was preceded by the lead single, "So Gone" featuring Keri Hilson on November 14, 2008. Following the poor chart performance, "Thong" featuring Lil Wayne, was released as the album's second single. The album's third single "Just Now" featuring Raheem DeVaughn. The album's fourth and final single "Desilly".

The album garnered positive reviews from critics, most of whom praised the vigorous sexual-lyrics most have become accustomed to from Ms. Lee. However multiple critics showed disregard for some of the album's mid-tempo tracks as attempts to recapture the success of "How Are U?". The album debuted at number 10 on the Billboard 200 and number one on the US R&B/Hip-Hop Albums.
